What if everyone started writing the link to our website on on every 1, 5, 10, 20, and 100 dollar bill in their possession? Do you think it would draw more folks to the site?
I am sure most of you have seen the "Where's George" link on currency you have come across. Why not adopt the idea?

Any other free but far reaching but free promotional tricks our members can think of? Let's see...

Be sure to poke out the left-eye of any $20's because JustaUser says RFID chips are embedded there-in.

lol

I just read this:
"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.

Defacement of currency in such a way that it is made unfit for circulation comes under the jurisdiction of the United States Secret Service."

So in other words, if you obliterate the entire bill with your message, or if you make the bill "unfit to be reissued", then and only THEN is there a problem... I'd say go for it!

wheresgeorge is doing it
go for it

The problem with this idea is that I don't like spending money. So you won't get much promotion from me.

Put it on the blank margin at the edge, which will have no effect on its fitness to be reissued.

Of course, you need actual cash to do this...

That chicken-scratch on the bottom of the picture used to clearly say "boycott-riaa.com" on it ...but it didn't survive the shrink to the page. sorry.

"with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued"

...our intent is that it BE reissued and circulated. So I guess someone would be in the clear to do so.

Actually, the Treasury Secretary is the only person allowed to write or print on U.S. Currency. So I think that we should all send our money to the Secretary of the Treasury and let him write it in the margins.

You know, the Secretary receiving all of that money with those requests might go unnoticed so you better send it all to me first so I can give it to him. yeah that's the ticket

Sorry, but I'm boycotting the Secretary of the Treasury.

writing on the edge slogans and messages...at leats the bills are good for something.

When I get a bill that says Boycott-RIAA.com on it, I'll start doing the same. Until then, nope lol. We could always start a whole bunch of e-mail chain letters and at the end a message that says "If you do not foreword this e-mail to every one you know the RIAA and MPAA will come and sue you!"

I will start writing on what few bills I see if limefane913 will start the spamming of his own family and friends.

oh baby, two twenties, a five and two ones. before i put a down payment on my mansion with this stack of cash, i'm getting out my marker..

this is a GOOD idea, mike. do it!

pen works better

ha ha, at least this is funny

Your idiots are belong to us!

SaveTheMusic,

A local record store closed here recently; left a note in the window blaming downloaders. I left a note, proclaiming I never downloaded; you twat, I'd buy your cds and then UPLOAd, yes UPLOAd them so that others didn't have too.

I like the "Boycott-RIAA.com" promo on Money idea, and the email idea too. Perhaps making the emails an informative email to counter what the RIAA is spewing. Or make some joke emails brought to you by http://Boycott-RIAA.com .

Oh btw, on the money idea, I think 1 dollar bills and 20 dollar bills are probably seen the most. When you get cash from the bank the typical denomination is in $20 increments, and everyone uses $1 bills to put into vending machines. If you're in Vegas, then $100 bills are seen more often.

Sorry for the mulitple posts, but I just got a great idea on the money campaign. Go to your local bank and use the ATM to extract your dollar limit for the day, write the boycott-riaa.com link on all the bills, then deposit the whole lot back into the machine. In a day or so, all those bills will be in circulation. If you did this everyday, you could mark tons of bills...haha...and you never had to spend a dime!!

Dangit, never have any cash on me. Maybe you guys should look into affinity Check Cards? Or maybe I could start leaving little business cards for waitresses with the website on them.

Great ideas Capt-n-Jack and godless-heathen!

I also hardly ever use cash, but I did link the site on my emode/tickle shares page hopefully some of the people on the site have actually checked it out.

Ironically, slogans on money are not at all a new idea.

Historically (before McCarthy and cronies slapped "In God We Trust" on it cause of those damn godless heathen commies...*snort*) there have been many slogans and catch phrases printed on US money, my most favorite of which was.. "Mind your business".

But yeah, long as you don't render the bill illegible, you can write stuff on it, some gay folk who've taken issue with charity and banking discrimination up here use a stamp and ink to stamp "GAY MONEY" on it as a sign that, yes, they're part of our economy too.

Too bad cash is almost a bygone in our society, and you can't (so far) tag a credit transaction with a personal slogan.
