antonyesays...You learn this shit rather quick anyway...

Monster spray legimitises the monster and thus makes them scarier - also, worst game ever? - sweep the debris into the square ...

robbersdog49says...The key bit here being "with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note,
or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued"
That's not the intent of putting a glittery tooth on it, it just makes it more interesting for the kid.

Paybacksays...If you make it unfit to be reissued (this would be held by a bank) and it wasn't an accident, someone could charge you. Much like you could go to jail for burning a flag -if- you did it without respect.

scannexsays...Payback is right, our prisons are overflowing with parent-turned-felon currency defacers already. Lets not encourage this sort of deviant behavior.
Thank god you are here.
Maxxsays...Drawing on a $1 bill is not destroying the bill, which is what the law you are referring to is addressing. I hear this stated all the time, and its simply a misinterpretation of the law. The intent to make it unfit for circulation is an entirely different story....as in making dollar bill snowflakes. Though I will admit that glittering a bill with glue might be walking the line.

shatterdrosesays...Putting sugar on everything? Not the healthiest parenting hack out there . . .
Agozyensays...Turning US Currency into artwork is exempted from that.

chingalerasays...Thank You-Kept reading until someone with more than subjective-contextual offerings showed-up.
You can fuck-up as many notes and coins as you like, and even make shitty art no-one would want with it, THEN burn it, and yer still not a criminal.
The people print the worthless shit are still criminals, but you aren't.....until you stop spending it!
