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.

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?

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.

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.)
