I've also considered using a sharpie to write "Firefly" on the whole of the back of the bill, but haven't worked up the guts. My husband is a banker and keeps telling me how illegal this is and I keep demanding his cash so I can write on it.

I've started adding a signature too. Backside of the bill, bottom right-hand corner: "s,etc"

Front or back? Is there a certain size that it becomes illegal?

I'd like to write "Firefly - No power in the 'verse can stop me" but I'm afraid that's a little too long.

Anyways, watch out, North Carolina's gonna start getting some Firefly dollar bills.

Any Canadian FF fans out there doing this yet? I'm going to start. I love this idea - how about adding www.fireflyans.net so they can get caught up in the love?

Canadian fan here ;) Wish I'd thought of that... expect to see some paper money in the London, Ontario area with the slogan "Firefly - Keep Flyin" on it. Probably have an I.B. below it ;)

I write on the back mostly. Lately I've been writing "Serenity flies again!" on the front and "You can't take the sky from me" on the back.

As for the illegal, I have no idea if it's actually illegal or not. I just have him telling me that it is. I can look it up this afternoon if no one beats me to it.

Anything you write is cool be it big, small, or other.

#8 Is it legal to write on or mark currency?
Where's George? does not encourage the defacement of U.S. Currency. The law defines 'illegal' defacement as defacement that renders bills unfit to be re-issued. For the legal details from the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, please Click Here http://www.bep.treas.gov/document.cfm/18/104

If you get any (possibly from your stopover at the SLC airport) that say just "firefly" somewhere on the white part of the bill, written in blue ball point, that's me. Been doin' it for a week or two now. Wish I had thought of it sooner too. What a waste of all that money... it could have been free advertising.

Well, hello there Kanger and Sarah, it is good to know there are other Browncoats from Birmingham, AL out there. I've written on a few bills but without a sig. I'll have to start doing that. Keep flying.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Keeping track of the origin where the bill was marked is an excellent idea.

Browncoats are shiny, shiny people.
