Currency Graffiti is illegal, so of course there are websites devoted to such a wonderful cause.  Does that make it art?

Throughout history, people have used currency to vent about virtually everything. From injustice & fighting the corporate power, to anything else they can think up.  I have always been a big fan of graffiti as it’s uncensored deep thoughts.

*FYI- For all those who don’t solve geek math problems (I don’t either),  the answer to the equation written on the cheque of Mr. Randall Patrick Munroe is: $0.00 - You’ve been spanked! This dude is my hero!

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 not more than $100 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
