The Joker

This is a folder dedicated to my art on money project. I will make art on money and then put the piece of art back into circulation. I want to share my art, and bring awareness to the fact that it is not illegal to put art on money. It has long been believed that writing, drawing, or making any mark on U.S. currency is defacing currency, and is illegal. This is not true for paper money, however, only for coins. Paper money is held to different rules then coins, and legally be 'deface' by a user who draws on it or otherwise marks it. There are some things that you cannot due to paper money, however, and that includes:- Destroying: You cannot destroy, tear, or mutilate paper money so that it is no longer usable or recognizable.- Altering: You cannot alter paper money in such a way that it is no longer recognizable, or so that it appears to be worth a different value than it is. For example, if you stamp a logo on the paper money, it will probably be fine. If you alter the number and image on it so that it appears to be worth more (making $1 look like $10, for example), then you are committing fraud, creating counterfeit money, and you will arrested.
