Title: Bill Stamps
Post by: SaintMichael999 on September 05, 2010, 12:01:02 pm

Do some people have their own stamp to mark bills they have entered into the database?  I see from time to time different stamps and was just curious as to where the stamps are from.  For example, today I have one with J$T inside a circle.

The people who hang out at Where's Willy (http://www.whereswilly.com) are pretty heavy stampers.  I have always been a handwriter (http://www.whereswilly.com/user_profile_popup.php?ukey=47dc64b201c4446b886d33efe537caad) myself.  :)

Stamps are often seen on US currency and it's my understanding that the stamp is like a "chop-mark" on older silver coins and purports to guarantee its authenticity.  One would expect however that it's much easier to counterfeit a stamp than a bill - so who knows.

I would hate to see a better note - radar, ladder, error - mistreated by the where's willys of this world.
