Fixing dollar bills
« on: November 25, 2010, 12:17:58 AM »
I mark of the "In God We trust" on all my paper money with a magic marker.

Am I the only one who does this??

The £10 note issued by the Bank of England has a picture of Darwin on it.

That could never happen here too many nutters

And no I hardly ever mark up money.  I am surprised non of the really religious groups has never objected to it being on the bill considering what they are used for an how "in god we trust" might be looked upon as a endorsement of that

I don't care. The only thing that bothers me, on any paper money, is an obvious bloodstain, which I do find on occasion.
I will then, while wearing vinyl gloves, bleach off the stains and wash the bills with soap and water before using them.  :police:

American money has "In God We Trust" stamped on it. At the same time, we have something called the Establishment Clause in the first amemndment to the constitution that seperates church and state.

I have a lingering OCD paranoia that even dried blood could transmit HIV or hepatitis, and I feel responsible
for eliminating that (probably quite small) risk before putting the money back into circulation.   :nerd!:

The majority of blood diseases can't survive being exposed to oxygen, that's why they're transmitted through bodily fluids.
