You should report the web site to the Department of the Treasury for defacing currency. I would, but I did not see the defaced bill. =========================================================================================================== ustreas.gov Subject: Re: Defacing US currency? Answered By: tutuzdad-ga on 09 Nov 2004 11:37 PST Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question. Defacing US currency is indeed illegal. Defacement of currency in such a way that it is made unfit for circulation comes under the jurisdiction of the United States Secret Service: United States Code TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE PART I - CRIMES CHAPTER 17 - COINS AND CURRENCY § 333. Mutilation of national bank obligations ?Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.?
