You can tear a bill in half and as long as you have both complete serial numbers, they have to accept the bill.
Fingerprinting money? Yeah right, they'll find the prints of a thousand people on it. Even the cashiers prints will be on the money. Who's to say it didn't say that when I got it. The burden of proof is on them.
The cashier can't refuse to accept a bill solely because there is writing on it, especially when they pull out a permanant marker and mark on every bill that is a 20 or higher.

HEY,I RESEMBLE THAT REMARK!!Fuck anonymity, we need to do it to bring more attention to the issues than just random leaf stamps. I think a leaf with norml.com, mpp.org or stopthedrugwar.org (or about rollitup.org) would possibly even drive the curious to those sites and hopefully win converts rather than just people thinking that theres some crazie hippie with a rubber stamp doing all of this.
YOUR RIGHT THOUGH, IT IS NOT ABOUT BEING ANONYMOUS ,IT'S NOT ABOUT DRAWING PEOPLE TO ANY ONE SITE , BESIDES I DON'T THINK RIU WOULD LIKE TO BE INDICATED AS A SOURCE OF THE DEFACING .THIS IS JUST A VISUAL AID , TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT WE ARE A PART OF THE ECONOMY, IN NUMBERS THAT MIGHT SURPRISE A LOT OF PEOPLE.
I SUGGEST THAT YOU DO THE STAMPING IN PRIVATE, NOT IN FRONT OF THE BANK OR GROCERY CLERK .

the stamp act is about taxes? What does that have to do with putting "i grew hemp" on dollar bills?

Naw, it was just a joke. There was some kind of stamp tax act back in the early days, On things like Sugar etc. I believe it may have even caused a rebellion amongst the colonists. After it was passed by the British, the colonists refused to honor it and it eventually was repealed

You had me going there for a bit. I was ready to run to the grocery store with the new law that says you will be hanged in the town square for marking on money....

Anyone wishing to verify this, please go to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing website and select Money Facts. From there, select Defacement of Currency.[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Defacement of Currency
Defacement of currency is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Under this provision, currency defacement is generally defined as follows: Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, 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, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
Defacement of currency in such a way that it is made unfit for circulation comes under the jurisdiction of the United States Secret Service.[/FONT]

But think about this... probably half of the money you get should be unfit for trade since it's all beat up, covered in drug residue and nasty bacteria.

So then how come every store I've been to in the last 5 years whips out a permanant marker and marks on every bill $20 and over? I know why they do it, it's in case of robbery, (because there's a lot of that here in hickville). 
How is it acceptable for a business to mark on money, but not citizens?
I'm still writing on mine.
Seeing as how the new head of the treasury "forgot" to pay 34 thousand dollars in taxes, which makes me feel like I don't need to obey their laws. Maybe I "forgot" I wasn't supposed to write on money. If it's a good enough excuse for him, it works for me too.
It reminds me of that old Steve Martin bit. "You can be a millionare and never pay taxes" First you get a million dollars, then when the IRS comes to collect you say "I forgot"
You can use it for other things too, "I forgot armed robbery was illegal" "I forgot to obey the speed limit"
Really try it out, you can use it in any situation.

Considering forensics teams can lift fingerprints off of a rock that's been exposed to inclement weather for longer than I've been alive would say completely otherwise. Have you SEEN the scanning stuff they use nowdays for fingerprints? I have. They can filter out hundreds of fingerprints from just about anything. Software interpolation and interpretation, plus different methods of marking old and new fingerprints.
It's how the morons at my old high school got caught counterfeiting. Hundreds of students touched the bills, but they were able to identify which fingerprints were the first set placed on the money. From there it was just a quick word of mouth, warrant, arrest, fingerprint check, and instant federal prison for those two boys.

Do you really think, with the state of the ecomony and places like CA running out of money in 4 days that anyone is going to waste the time and the expense to try to print bills to find out who handled them?
Once they find out who handled them, how will they know who wrote on them? If a thousand people have handled a dollar bill, how will they know which of the thousand did the actual writing?
I know my fingerprints are not on file anywhere, neither are my husbands or my daughters. I doesn't matter how many prints they have if they don't know who they belong to.
Hey Growtech, there used to be the strip club in my area and they used to play the "lotion game" where the girls put on lotion and the men just stuck the money to them, like a warped pin the tail on the donkey. How would you like to end up with one of those bills? Nasty..........
