I've been keeping up on posts on here about starting a Business / Marketing Forum and I also feel it's a good idea. I was on here catching up on new topics and scrolled down and WOW a new forum called "Business". If I ran this board I would move the Business section up to the top so everyone will notice and read up / post. Good marketing tactic right? Then I would move it back down to the bottom. Just an idea:)

Anyway I have an idea. Not sure if it's legal so you didn't hear it from me and I heard it from someone I can't remember anymore, how you use this information is up to you. Ok here goes, paper money exchanges hands every second right. What if there was a web address written on the bill. 100's not a good idea but 1.00 bills everyone has right? I can see this getting out of hand if everyone did this and we would have a new look to our money. Like I said this may not be legal but I myself have seen this on bills. Comments?

Touch of viral marketing eh :) No i don't think it is legal, think comes under defacing law, but you might get away with it for a few notes and if you get others to do it would be hard to prove.

I've done a little reading on this and there is a law on defacing currency. Here is what I found:



Defacement of Currency

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 not more than $100 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

The key here is "unfit to be reissued" If you take a marker and make the bill unreadable then yes your breaking the law, but just putting an address on the bill I guess is ok. There is a website doing just this, putting their address on bills. It's at: wheresgeorge.com

It will be interesting to see the outcome of what they are doing. I have three things to recomend.
