25 Hilarious (and Nerdy) Ways to Deface Your Dollars

We here at The Escapist would never advocate the willful destruction of legal tender, but it doesn't make these examples any less entertaining.

Now, just so you know, defacing legal US currency is actually a crime here in the States (and presumably in other countries as well), so it would be kind of off the mark for The Escapist to ever advocate doing this sort of thing. So here, just off the bat: You shouldn't draw on your dollar bills, kids - it's against the law (and knowing is half the battle)!

But, if you were ever in a hypothetical situation where you were to doodle on ol' Honest Abe, you could do a whole lot worse than following the style of these 25 hilariously (nerdily) defaced bills [http://www.webofentertainment.com/2009/10/25-hilarious-defaced-bills.html]. Abe Lincoln turns into Mario, or a Ninja Turtle, or a Power Ranger. George Washington might be the Joker (and Darth Vader, and Cobra Commander...) but he's counteracted by Andrew Jackson's Batman-slash-Spartan.

I might not ever do one of these doodles myself, but if I ever came across one of these as change, I think I'd probably just want to get it framed. Who could ever bring themselves to part with something like that?

The Boom Headshot, Darth Vader, and Power Rangers ones were the best. :]

 

[Armored Prayer]

The Darth Vader and Mr. Peanut ones are my favorites.

 

[Doc Theta Sigma]

... Was that a 20? Those poor stupid people v.v

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Those are, in fact, pretty good. I wonder how many dollars he had spent on this.

 

[Torque669]

All of those got a giggle out of me. Very well done to whoever did those. Especially the Sparta, Darth Vader and Joker ones.

 

[Jon Etheridge]

Haha. That is pretty damn funny. I really want to try this and then put a bunch of them in a vending machine.

 

[TaborMallory]

I'd do these on a $1 bill. It's basically paying a dollar for these awesome bills. The zombie and sparta ones were my favorites.

Thank you for sharing!

 

[Kuliani]

Apparently they are all made by this "Joe D" or "JoeD" person. Pretty sure it's a dumb idea to sign your name when you commit a crime...

 

[johnman]

Those were excellently done, much better than the untidy scrawls I somtimes come across.

 

[blipblop]

I´m going to do this to all of my money hereafter!

 

[AvsJoe]

Oh man, I'm gonna be laughing at the image of Darth Washington all day. This has definitely made my day, great link!

 

[Tharticus]

That was hilarious. Much better than glasses and mustache. Wait, it's against the law for defacing dead presidents? How lame.

 

[Kollega]

The page won't open D:

 

[Caliostro]

Not counting potential wasted bills and material used, there's 119 dollars there.


...And it's still totally worth it.



PS: Why is this illegal besides some retrograde sense of uptight political correctness?

 

[Distorted Stu]

Each Dollar well spent imo.

 

[Contun]

Sure, some were in bad tastes, but they're just too awesome to hate....

 

[Lazy Kitty]

It's against the law? Well, I say it's the US governments own fault for not printing them like that in the first place.

 

[El Poncho]

A crime to draw on money? I'm not sure if it's illegal here in the UK but it's pretty stupid.
