Money Mods

Most currency features the face of some esteemed polito, artist, monarch or other muckamuck. Defacing these folks is nothing new - usually magic marker mustaches and thinks of that ilk. I propose that a system be set up to do this right.

Templates would be available showing a variety of stylish additions to money faces. These would be crisply applied using a computer printer, printing directly onto the bills. I am looking at a 20 with Andrew Jackson and thinking he would look great with black pointy sideburns, a cascading mullet and a soul patch. Another alternative might be a Captain Morgan-type piratical beard and moustache, with a parrot on the shoulder. Abe would look very dashing with some colorprinted mascara and eyeliner, lip gloss, rouge and a perm.

I can see a clearing house for these templates. Creative folks would submit their ideas, then be gratified when they actually ran across their creations in circulation. People would pay closer attention to their money, hoping to find a mod they had not seen. Cheap, subversive fun for all!
