: In the capitol times article,,Dana Blowe states,"if someone writes on currency with the intent of putting it back into circulation,thats defacement." She adds,"i haven't heard of it being enforced,but anything is possible."

What she says is totally true - stamping/writing on currency *is* defacement. Period. The *real* question is whether or not said defacement renders the bill unfit to be re-issued. Bottom line: She really didn't know what she was talking about.

: And in the N.Y.Times article,Claudia Dickens states,"according to the laws as they stand now,the practice is not illegal."

Now, she knows what she is talking about!
