So, defacing money is illegal but I just looked it up and that's only if in a fraudulent way or a way to make it unfit for circulation. Since you're doing the opposite I say it's fine, but if you're taking legal advice from me you're probably fucked.

@crazyeddie The law requires an intent to defraud. Trump campaign in 2020 stamped millions of bills with their campaign logo.

@juliehuz I'm sorry but I'm not convinced that the Trump campaign doing anything is evidence that it's legal :p

But yeah, it would appear in this case they didn't break the law.

@crazyeddie Fair point. There was also a creative protest where activists overlaid Tubman’s portrait on Andrew Jackson’s face. The Treasury reportedly said it was okay, provided seals, serial numbers, and text stayed visible.
