MORE OVERSTAMPED U.S. DOLLAR BILLS

While the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing endeavors to create perfect banknotes, people can't seem to leave well enough alone - they're always decorating them with political slogans, much like the counterstamped Irish coinage seen in another article in this issue. Jud Petrie has been collecting these for some time, and shared several images with us. Thanks! See below for a link to a photo album on our Flickr archive. Here are a some samples. -Editor

Jud writes:

"I am now a retired airline ticket agent and got all of these when I was still working, mostly obtained from the skycaps who received them as tips, and knew I collected coins and 'weird' stuff. I don't know where I got the Ron Paul bill, but it was after I retired. Although I never entered any 'Where's George' bills of my own I have entered many that I received, and would exchange them with my passengers explaining how the system worked, trying to 'put some miles' on them, selecting passengers who were going cross country or international. "
