Exactly what I thought of. A friend of mine showed me a where's George dollar about a week ago.

I don't know anything about this particular message, but it is a myth that stamping bills is a federal offense. The key is the definition of defacement. Defacing paper money is an offense but it is defined as rendering the bill unfit for use. Stamping bills with messages, especially political messages, is intended to do the exact opposite of defacement - it is to get a message out there and it is not advertising a business. It is protected free speech.

The following legal summary includes a link written by a constitutional lawyer explaining the legality:
