RE: Burn ONE dollar to spread awareness for ONE abused / lost child.

in #pizzagate8 years ago (edited)

I'm not trying to be a douche, but isn't burning dollars illegal? Not defending the dollar, but people might want to be careful about posting media of them doing it because it could get Americans in trouble at least.

Figured I'd put my two cents in :P I support the sentiment, I just want folks to be safe.

Here's the law in question:

Specifically, this is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code, which says that “whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, 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, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined not more than $100 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.” The law is enforced by the Secret Service.

I would NEVER do something federally illegal in hopes of bringing attention to a worthy cause (end sarcasm).
