Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsCan I blacken out Trumpasses face on the $250 bill?
Or at least draw a mustache and a goatee and a swastika on it?
I know I know, the bill is still in the planning stage but if it goes thru I wanna be prepared in case I somehow find one someday.
This thread is a sequel, hopefully the last of its kind, to my previous thread about blackening the trumpass picture on the passport. The winner to that thread was for putting a bit of black electrical tape over the magat face so tape could be removed for official use while not defacing the passport which is illegal. But no can do electrical tape on a paper bill.
>>>> So, is it illegal to draw on money? Lets answer it once again: not usually. Is it illegal to write on money? Rarely - unless you wreck the bill or turn it into an ad.
In short: doodle if you want, just dont hide the important details or try to profit. Banks might pull your bill sooner, but you wont end up in handcuffs for a smiley face on a $5 bill.
However, remember - money is still a security of the United States, protected under Federal laws, so respect it - even if you add a little personality.https://usfirstexchange.com/is-it-illegail-to-write-or-draw-money

(131,410 posts)The faces on bills are Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Hamilton, Jackson, Grant, and Franklin - five presidents and two founding fathers. I'm sure Trump thinks he's in the same class of Great Men (I wouldn't call racist Jackson great, but that's another story). The $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, and $100,000 bills feature pictures of McKinley, Cleveland, Madison, Salmon Chase (Treasury secretary), and Woodrow Wilson. The $100,000 never circulated at all.
The Treasury stopped printing the larger notes in 1945, but most continued to circulate until 1969 when The Federal Reserve began destroying those that were received by banks. The few that still exist are legal to spend but are so rare that they are worth more than their face value to collectors. Apparently there never has been a $250 bill, and why should there be one at all? It's a weird denomination, but it puts Himself between Franklin and McKinley, and is more likely to be circulated than anything larger, though perhaps only as a MAGA collector's item which will never be worth more than its face value.
Also, it's illegal to print money with the face of a live person. McKinley got the privilege of being on the $500 bill by becoming dead in a rapid unscheduled disassembly caused by one Leon Czolgosz, so maybe he's not the best act to try to follow, all things considered. But if the bill is ever issued and I can get my hands on one, I will definitely draw horns and a mustache on it with a Sharpie.
