CNNs Jake Tapper interviewed a Gold Star Dad Thursday, creating an awkward moment after asking about President Barack Obama calling him after his sons death at a time when Obama was not president. Tapper, in an interview with Gold Star father Paul Monti, asked about President Obama calling him after his son, Sgt. 1st Class Jared Monti died in Afghanistan.
Tapper asked, So you received a call from President Obama after Jared was killed, did you find comfort in it? Or is the whole thing just so painful it doesnt even really matter?
Monti answered, Well, first of all, set the record straight, I received a call from President Obama three years later when my son was approved for the Medal of Honor.
Oh great, okay, good point, Tapper said.
Yeah. thats when he called, Monti said.
Okay. Well, let me ask you about the fact that he didnt call you after Jared was killed. Four men were killed on that horrible day in the summer of 2006 on Hill 2610. Did it bother you that you didnt get a phone call from President Obama? Or actually, it was 2006, it would have been President Bush. Did it bother you ?
Monti answered, President Bush.

If you might think your money is yours to do with as you please, you're not quite right. The federal government has a statute that specifically prohibits mutilation, cutting, disfiguring, perforating, and other acts that are intended to make the bills unable to be used. The U.S. Secret Service is responsible for enforcing the law.
Penalties
If you're convicted of defacing U.S. bills or coins, you can face fines, jail time, or both. For bills, the maximum fine is $100 and the maximum jail sentence is six months. For coins, the jail sentence can be up to five years. To be convicted, you must have the intent to defraud someone. For example, the U.S. Mint warns that wearing down edges of coins to make them appear to be error coins -- coins that are incorrectly struck by the U.S. Mint, often rare and popular with collectors -- and then selling them to collectors as error coins constitutes a crime.
The fourth sentence under Penalties is the point I believe I made.
I need that stamp!

Well, since you asked, from https://www.wheresgeorge.com/faq.php :
“The law defines ‘illegal’ defacement as defacement that renders bills unfit to be re-issued.”
There’s then a link here: http://www.moneyfactory.gov/resources/lawsandregulations.html
(scroll down a bit, the site backs up wheresgeorge.com)
The Treasury then refers one to Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code.
Tapper looks like he got 10 minutes sleep after a night of boozing and chasing boys.

When I reflect on the pennies I squashed on railroad tracks as kid, I’m going to be in trouble.
No, because they are too stupid to know they are stupid.
