In Reply to: Please, Read my lips. I did not in any way improperly highlight those bills. Please let me explain posted by Jason on August 30, 2002 at 9:40 PM:
Well, Jason, it's kind of a touchy subject. Hank originally said not to highlight at all. But after several people pressed him to be specific, he replied that highlighting the boarders is OK.
However, I only seen the "post" from Hank stating his disaproval of highlighting. The part about the boarders being OK was what someone said they got in an e-mail from Hank.
Look at it from this point of veiw... So long as the person entering the bill has the bill with them, they will find the series. The only time you would really have to worry about them not finding it is if they wrote down the serial number, spent the bill, and went home to enter it. That of course is a no-no. :)
Play it safe, friend, stick to the boarder.
Also, to address your "sinner or not" question...
Unless it has changed since the last time I've read it, I don't think the "User Guidelines" have the rule regarding highlighting (yet). Sin in the past: no. Sin in the future: Don't risk it.
Hope I was helpful.
