We can promote the website by writing www.freetalklive.com on cash.
I mean, it's just a piece of paper, and we wouldnt even be breaking the law (and who cares, some of us pay for the government to make the damned money)
so... yeh theres a cheap and easy way to advertise the site.
you know im surprised the government doesnt sell advertising space on dollar bills as it is... I wouldn't put it past them.

Get a stamp. It's way easier than writing it, I know. There is a thread about it in here.

ahh, i didnt know there was already one up...

It's fun to get your bills back. I actually got one that was stamped that wasn't mine. That was really neat.
-
Where/when was it? It seems to have been an isolated incident. Is there any possible way to tell how effective this is? I stamp almost all mine, but I really have no idea what effect it has, if any.

I got an FTL-stamped $1 bill back as change from a Mexican restaurant in Nashua, NH, where I go for lunch pretty frequently.
That was badass, so I started leaving NHCommonSense (http://nhcommonsense.org) matchbooks with my tip there ;)

There's an idea for a store item--a Free Talk Live stamp for stamping the currency.

Here, in Keene. I got them back in Florida when I stamped too. It doesn't happen all the time, but enough to know they are circulating. Every once in a while, a curious cashier writes down the link.

i guess theres only 1 way to find out

oh my freakin jeezus it worked

If you get a batch of crisp new ones, I'd say they will probably run through some printers very well. I know they'd run through the old Bubblejet I used to have--that had to be the best inkjet I ever owned.
-
the one i tested wasnt all that new and it worked very well
im gonna have some fun with this
-
I run'em through the printer all the time. While it's printing the green and black, it might just as well print a "Free Talk Live" tag in red.
-
LOL.

Rock on. I had a cannon BJ something back in the day, I guess 10 years ago or so. It was pretty cool. Then we had this crappy all-in-one HP that did a lot, but nothing very well ;)
Today I have a freaky Lexmark that isn't compatible with BSD and only works with Linux after you do a bunch of cryptic stuff. Next time? Probably a HP or Cannon that is more universally compatible.

Uhh.. I run a cash only business..
What if I did say.. $5,000 in cash? ($1's $5's, $10's, and $20's) Do you think the bank would uhh.. freak out if I did that?
Or do I have to nickle and dime the money around?
-
hand em all the bills with the non-altered side facing up :)
or take your bills to change machines... i guess that would be alot of quarters...
-
Inkjet works well if you iron the money first. Go to the bank and get a stack of singles and keep a few in your wallet. Here's an earlier thread about it.

1 - It's not *their* money
2 - It'd be weird for a business to say they didn't want your money
3 - It's completely legal (imho...I'm not a lawyer, but the law is pretty clear that you have to INTEND for the bills to be put out of circulation, which of course is the opposite of your intent).
I say go for it! I got my stamps from VistaPrint...I like them.
USE RED. It shows up very nice on the green and black.

ive been printing little pikachus and mooninites on 1s...
i did one with a little pic of jesus and underneath it i typed "not coming back"
my catholic freinds had an uncomfortable laugh...
-
My understanding is that it is legal as long as it doesn't block the serial #s. Banks mark all the time so... I've partially covered a few digits nearly every time, and no one cares.

These days I'm no longer using inkjet for my own use (except to print something out in color, once in a blue moon, for which I use my wife's piece-of-crap Epson all-in-one), I got an HP LaserJet 4050N new on eBay for $500 and slapped a duplexer onto it. It's a $2000 office printer, and I've never had a single problem. I got tired of crappy cheap printers. Besides being reliable, I can get a 10,000 page cartridge for around $120. That's a lot better economy than anything else I've had (including the crappy Lexmark personal laser printer I made the mistake of buying) and for the startup cost I also got built-in networking and duplexing capability (and the toner's better.)

I'll do that, I'll start by marking my change and my pay out money.
I think the banks might freak out if I give them a couple huge fat wads of marked bills for deposit.
