I know it is against the law to deface US Currency, but is it against the law to burn it? I have seen pictures of people (movies, etc) lighting cigars with $100 bills, etc.
I believe the government gets rid of old bills by burning them.
The reason for the questions is I read a post from someone who received a defaced $1 bill in their change. The comments found on the bill made me think that if I ever received a bill like that I would just burn it.
There is no statute of limitations on murder or bad first impressions.

I am enjoying my second childhood.
It is a lot of fun.
I have money this time!!

Marry, divorce, marry someone new, divorce, marry again, divorce, marry again... Polygamy on the installment plan.

heh, I wonder that too... only because if I ever win some crazy lottery and had mega millions I would like to burn a huge pile of it in protest of all the QE rounds.
