Writing on money is called Mutilation of national bank obligations

 “Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.”

However, that shouldn't scare you.  Legality exists to continue your enslavement.  Submit or not.

By possessing papers that have graffiti on them does not imply that the defacement was by the current possessor.

This is illegal in most jurisdictions as it destroys the paper money and causes the government to replace those mutilated paper money.

I am curious though, why are you posting this here? This is like a off topic post and surely it would either be deleted or moved by the mods for sure.

I dont know if illegal writing on the money in the USA but for me is illegal any money you have because this is the government or national bank property you dont write anything on the money i think there is a law in all country someday i need research about that.

How about some dirts on money? is it illegal too ?

You would be amazed to know what kind of dirt are found on money. Paper money can reportedly carry more germs than a

household toilet. And bills are a hospitable environment for gross microbes: viruses and bacteria can live on most surfaces for

about 48 hours, but paper money can reportedly transport a live flu virus for up to 17 days. It's enough to make you switch

to Bitcoin, just because of that.

I don't live in the US but I have always though that it is illegal to vandalize fiat everywhere. Seriously, I get annoyed when I find bills with phone number on them. This is not like the movies b****s. You're not in Serendipity. 

In my country it is, for me it is one of the most improtant things in each country and it has to be illgal to just vandalize material money.

[oegarod]

How about the legal framework got into existence might be on the basis of devaluation of paper money. Not only with USA, but the same prevails all around the world with different law. Still this is not cent percent followed, because every person doesn't have the same understanding in this regard.

All what i know about defacement of currencies is that it's a violation of the united states law . I'm pretty sure that any one who intends to cut or try to replica  bill could be fined or imprisoned for a period of time between 1 and 6 months or he could be fined and imprisoned . there's a secret service which handles all these matters and i'm pretty sure they got a website you could visit to collect more details . But nothing in the law prohibits writing on bills unless what you wrote will make it unusable any more . People might get advantage of this loophole and write websites on paper bills or promote for certain things by writing on the edge of the paper in such way that vending machines will still recognize it thus "usable" .

That is correct because you don't own that money technically it is still owned by the country and mutilation of it is a violation of the law.
I just don't know how are they going to identify the real person who defaced the money.

It is a big problem for governments that the people write on the faces of currency. In my country people are strictly prohibited from writing over the currency notes and if somebody write on the face of the picture given on the currency that note will not be acceptable anywhere in the whole country. Now the people take care of receiving paper currency from other people to avoid such hurdles.

[jseverson]

Why do people have a problem with this? Why would you even want to deface money? It's made out of paper, but that doesn't mean you should write on it. Would you deface Bitcoin if you could?

Money costs money and resources to print and the state shouldn't have to spend simply because you can't stop yourself from being a child. It's not a liberty to vandalize everything you can get your hands on in my opinion. This law has a practical reasoning behind it, and people really shouldn't deface money, whether they're from the US or not.

[dharnamonitor]

In my country you can see much of paper money from different looks, just like a money that cut into two but repaired by the use of a clear tape, crampled money, money that looks like tissue paper and some has altered and make fun of the faces on paper money, but in the US I thought that there's no law about this because I received a  USD that has been vandalized

[Lieldoryn]

Writing on money illegal in any country. All notes are the property of the state. You are only temporarily their users. If you rent a car you can use it to their advantage but to put this car damage you are eligible. Than banknotes differ? It is surprising that you do not understand.

[matchi2011]

I'm not even sure of there's any logical reason why people would write on money. I get vandalized money all the time from changes when i make purchases and though it's never really a big deal, i think people shouldn't do it whether it's illegal or not. I mean there's a lot more better things to do with your spare time right?

Writing in money is illegal and disrespectfull because its the trade mark of your country so why should you vandalize it.for me in order to decipline those people writting in the money,if they found guilty they must pay a fine or implementing public services under the republic act constituional law,so that no one would disobey it.

I think that's probably the case in most countries, I know it is also illegal in the UK but I do not believe it is a law that is ever enforced, although I believe the punishment is simply a fine and having the money confiscated.
