Below is the actual reply from my attorney who spent the afternoon researching for me.
Essentially, the law that regulates the defacing of US currency is in place for a specific reason and designed to punish those that have ulterior motives for the currency. Thus, the intent necessity. The key part of the statute is the intent necessity. You must deface the currency with the intent for the currency to be rendered unfit for recirculation. Glasses and a stamp does not render it unfit for circulation and you are not causing it to permanently be taken out of circulation. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the art in question violates 18 U.S.C. 333.
I asked if he'd like one of the pieces as compensation for his time and he was delighted. I funded his for him also
I won't be doing a similar project in the future.
"I hope people see what you're doing as an expression of art and freedom on speech." - a quote from a twitter follower this morning that I wanted to share because it's how I feel. (thank you)
Good luck to all.

Lastly, if you are interested in owning a Ricky Allan original work, I've just posted Excavatorelevator 2 to eBay with no reserve. This piece was inspired by the bitcoin blockchain.
