In Reply to: Hank has asked us not to highlight or use tape or stickers on bills....(nt) posted by dtm on August 30, 2002 at 9:27 PM:

I ONLY highlight the SERIES on my bills because it "wanders around" on different denominations. I highlight to help people find it better. I used to use regular highlightere but those faded easily. Then I switched to Liquid highlighters but those smudged easily and bled through to the back. I finally decided to try the "tape" highlighters. They are easier to use, less messy, and are nice and neat looking. Am I sinner or not?

: : I have been highlighting ONLY the series on my bills for about a year. A few days ago, I got a hit that said "Good condition except for a small green stain over the series". Well, that "green stain" was supposed to be my green highlighter mark over the series. So here is what I decided to do. I am looking for opinions on it as well. I decided to get one of those new fancy highlighters (the kind that "rolls on" a thin layer of "tape" (they also make white out like this). It is very easy to apply and seems to hold up pretty well. However, would this highlighter "tape" cause any problems for the bill or would it wear off easily in circulation? Has anyone else used this type of highlighter?

  - Highlighting serial #s – bordering on rendering the bill unfit for re-issue. (m) Hans M. Guy - HMG in MAss 12:58 AM 8/31/2002
    - Ohh, when I previously highlighted, I would highlight above or below the series and serial # (in the margins) (nt) Hans M. Guy - HMG in MAss 1:01 AM 8/31/2002
