Writing on a dollar bill in a video?

[ThatBoySab]

Hey guys, I just wanted to see if it's legal to write on a dollar bill for a video I am making, anyone know if it's legal or not?

why would it be illegal?

Because a dollar bill is government property, writing on it is vandalism.
But no one cares.

I just saw a Vsauce video where he ripped up a dollar bill, I don't think he's been arrested but he lives in England anyway.

well J. Cole had his ''a dollar and a dream'' tour going on and ppl would stay after shows and have him autograph a dollar bill for em so i think its just whatever. Do it if you want.

So if this video spreads around. And someone sees say like the government, will I get in trouble? Cause it's like large sayings on the bill and like i don't think its usable anymore lol.

I don't think they're going to bother with persecuting some guy who ruined a few dollar bills.
Look at moneygraffiti.com

Hey if Lil Wayne could get away with stomping on american flag in his music video u can get away with writing something on a dollar bill for a video

Defacing a dollar bill is illegal isn't it? o-o
But I don't think anything will happen.. there's way too many videos out there with people drawing and ripping dollar bills

Okay thaank you all! I was so worried 'cause it fits in my video so perfect and I didn't have an alternative for it lol.
