I printed out a QR code (on address label paper) of a key I generated on bitaddress. I sent .1 Bitcoins to that address. I put the QR code (remember its sticky) on a $1 Dollar bill, with a note that said "redeem at MtGox.com, learn more at bitcoinme.com". Finally-you guessed it-I spent the bill.

What could be illegal about putting a sticky note on a dollar bill? |

What could be illegal about putting a sticky note on a dollar bill? "Destroying US currency". First of all-is it really destroying it? If any kind of defacement is "destroying" it, what about all those black marks you see on $20 bills that come from a counterfeit detector? Or those machines at touristy places that turn your penny into a little souvenir? . And if it is illegal, anyone feel free to call the police. |

Wondering what do you plan to achieve by doing that? A free anonymous donation?
Personally, I never look at what's written on bills. Especially $1s. My primary use for them is stripper tips. And I doubt they accept QR codes.

True, there is a lot of writing on $1 bills. But I have never seen a QR code on one. What am I trying to achieve? I guess turning more people onto bitcoin. And I was bored and it sounded like a good idea. |

Thanks. Do it! Imagine if everybody did. The more people turned onto bitcoins, the higher the demand and the more they're worth. All about the bottom line. |

Actually, he didn't destroy the bill--he increased its value.

Anything is an increase from soon-to-be-worthless. |

What were you going for w/this post? Among other things, but mainly to show the QR Code, for it was stated by someone that they've never seen one on a bill before. |
