So a lawyer is suing to have this taken off of our currency.
If he wins, I believe it would be a worthy project to buy a simple ink pad and stamp and as they issue new money without it on it, simply stamp it on it anyway.
Looked it up, and it doesn't even appear to be illegal.
"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."
So as long as you are not making it worth more or INTENDING to make it unusable, then you should be good legally.........
