The customer was wrong. Plain and simple.
The bill was marked up and defaced.
Has nothing necessarily to do with Trump.

You just can’t let it go can you? You posted your BS misinformation on the other thread on this subject. As the cop said, there are millions of bills floating around with writing on them. It was valid. You are full of crap.

The article says,
According to U.S. code 18 U.S. Code § 333, it’s technically only illegal to deface money to the point that it is “rendered unusable.” Since this was only written on and the bill could still do its job, it was legal tender, meaning that a cashier would have to take it.

What exactly was the customer wrong about? The bill may very well have been ‘defaced’, that doesn’t make it illegal to spend, or counterfeit.

Wrong, did you read it? The codified statute is clear. I have taken bills that were ripped in half and taped back together. As long as both halves have matching serial numbers the bank would exchange it for new or take it as deposit with no problem. It is then exchanged to the treasury for destruction. I was a common situation back when cash was king.
