Topic: Writing on money might be illegal in USA (Read 795 times)
Here in my country writing on money is illegal but the law is "little known" by the citizen. People are used to staple, write on money doing their everyday transaction, citizen nd government should hnd on hand to implement such laws. So government fund wouldn't be wasted.
So is in my country . The rules on bank notes is almost the same. Bank notes cannot be staplered, drawn, cut and others also writing in it. Bank notes is a legal tender and we should respect it as our medium of exchange.
I don't live in the United States, but it is also illegal in our country. I am not an expert on this and I have not read the whole law. But I guess that the thing is, one cannot really prove who did it the writing on paper money. Aside from phone numbers, and vandals on the faces, animals, and places printed on the money, too much folding also removes the protection features of the money.
That's nothing new, it's been illegal for quite some time as much as I know, unleast in my country. Also you can go to whatever bank you want to and just replace it, just with the ripped bill. I mean if someone, who owns a smaller private business, writes his ad and phone number on money bills and let them circle, that would pretty much be a free marketing.
Of course it is illegal. I don't get it, why would someone write something on money. It doesn't make any sense especially if you can just get a piece of paper and do your thing on it. There is no excuse for this, just don't write anything on money. For wear and tear on money, it is a hassle sometimes when you purchase something and the seller rejected the money. This happen to me and it was the only money left in my wallet. I hate it when this happen but there's really nothing we can do but to follow the law. We need to go to the nearest bank and ask for replace. We keep on complaining but it is one of our obligation as a citizen.
Why do people even write on money? Really hate it when I receive money notes with stuff written on them. Makes it harder for me to use it purchase items, especially from small time vendors who are really picky about the condition of the note.
That's absolutely right mate, that's what i did too i don't receive exchange money from any public market or anywhere in a public place where i saw paper money that are picky condition with tears at the corner because national currency is somewhat you respect in your country as will as you give importance national property. And to subject creator it must be honored and respect the rules of national currency.

I don't think so that it is illegal to write anything on money, because i knew government can't be strict in that way 
Lols. I can understand that government can't give you permission to write anything on the denomination of the currency or they can't give you any kind of permission by which you make any major changes on the currency and nor you can use it for any other marketing or advertising services. I still remember while counting the currencies i used a pencil to mark down the counting numbers.

The police isn't going to go after someone the defaces money.
The only way I see them enforcing this is if they have a big time criminal who they can't have no current charges on, but they somehow have proof that he defaced money. But even then, what are the chances. Maybe the criminal used $100 bills to light up his cigarettes.
Those bills get destroyed and replaced by banks. I don't think it should land people with prison time. I don't think such a law would be enforce, but banks are supposed to not give those bills back to customers. And the majority of customers would not accept such bills.
Its not illegal its a crime for writing something on a countries money, writing on a paper money you are also disgracing the country, the symbols on the money represent how strong and great a country is and by vandalizing on the money means you are mocking them.
Not only in USA but around the world it’s not legal to writ on money because it give a bad impression to the people and to the world I know there are some countries who are writing on moneys which is not a good thing and some people they are using public property and they are writing on walls so government need to take strong action against them and I hope people will also understand that it’s our property we should look after them. full member

It’s not illegal I think it’s a crime and I think it’s not a good thing to do so because it give a very bad impression to the other countries and even to its own people as well and it’s not only in USA I see in many countries they are wring on money which a very bad habit son in some countries I saw that most people are using public property for walk caking so I think it must be stop and there must be a punishment for this act .
I think this has been observed in many countries, because the cost of creating the paper bills are higher than the actual value of the paper bill.
That is why it is prohibited. One more reason is to pay respect to the country's currency.

As users mentioned it's crime and in some countries it's stated that currencies on which writings were made won't be usable anymore. I'm not sure, how that'll be possible, but countries have regulated such methods with the currency usage.

I think that's probably the case in most countries, I know it is also illegal in the UK but I do not believe it is a law that is ever enforced, although I believe the punishment is simply a fine and having the money confiscated.

I think it any other country writing or puttig marks on money is a violation of their law as similit to what you have detailed this is a mutilation of a property of the nation and causes also destruction of ko eh that is otherwise should be preserved
How about some dirts on money? is it illegal too ?
You would be amazed to know what kind of dirt are found on money. Paper money can reportedly carry more germs than a
household toilet. And bills are a hospitable environment for gross microbes: viruses and bacteria can live on most surfaces for
about 48 hours, but paper money can reportedly transport a live flu virus for up to 17 days. It's enough to make you switch
to Bitcoin, just because of that.
Also, fuck the fed reserve fuck the fucking banks, if you are here is because you need freedom from actual financial system enslaving humanity.
Also, it seems that people dont read properly, OP says (last two lines)
