FIRST money

No, sorry, FIRST doesn't have their own monetary system.

Anyway, you know how people are always writing things on dollar bills, I got an idea today from it.
Just for fun, FIRSTers should start writing their team number on dollar bills. It would be fun to recieve a dollar bill as change and have 2 or three team numbers on them. It also will show you the different regions the money has been in.
So, if you want, write your team number in the upper left hand corner of the front (face) of dollar bills.

It is an interesting idea but writing on money is like tagging on a school.

Yeah I know all about that, but, eh, what can I say, I don't think there is anyone really keeping track. I just thought it would be fun.

Re: FIRST money

I dont think that writing in ball point pen at most 4 digits in a corner would be considered an attempt to deface money to the point where it is no longer legal tender.

Regardless of that, noone is going to get caught for having a bill with writing on it. Even if you did, they can't prove you did it. I get money with marker and stuff on it all the time.

I'm not saying you should go write on money. Use your own judgement, not mine

Re: FIRST money

It's legal to mark money--just as long as you don't make it unfit for reissue.

Although given the volume of money in our country today and the relatively small number of FIRST teams, I highly doubt that any team would be able to find another team's bills outside of FIRST-heavy events...namely regionals and the championship. But then at the championship, any place much away from the Georgia Dome would have a significantly lower probability of sending out FIRST money, since it'd get heavier civilian (for lack of a better term) traffic.

But that's just my speculation...YMMV.

Re: FIRST money

I'm up for it, although i must say, this one time, i got a dollar bill with people's phone numbers on it.....i was tempted to call but never did.
Actually i think that eventually, if you tag enough money, you could have a FIRST collection in your wallet......
Lisa: How much money you got?
Jeff: I got 3 254's, 4 173's, 2 181's and a 571
Lisa: Sweet, let's go get ice cream, i only got a 190 and 3 121's.......

(note...these team # just came randomly to my head!!!)

wouldn't that be fun?!?!?!

No son, destablizing the American economy by attempting to descreate our money supply with Dean Kamen's subversive messages is not fun. Its treason.

I wouldn't really call that destabilizing the American economy, and I certainly wouldn't say that Dean Kamen is a subversive.

Uhm, in the order they appear...
-Desecrating our money supply would not topple the economy--the BEP can always print more money. Counterfeiting would do the trick, however, since we're on a fiat money system.
-I recall the original idea as teams writing their number on the bills. Unless Dean Kamen has said "Team 1293 is t3h h4x0r," then I fail to see how that's one of his messages. (And if he did say that--shoot, even if he said anyone is t3h h4x0r--I'd love to hear a soundbyte.)
-Treason, defined by Article 3, Section 3, Clause 1 of the US Constitution:

Quote:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
Writing one to four numbers on money doesn't even come close to that definition. And even then, it wouldn't cover the canadian/international teams!
