Aside from my day job, I work a few nights a week delivering pizza. I know, it's not a glamorous or prestigious job, but it is a source of additional income that God provided during a time that it was desparately needed.
Last night I exchanged some $1's I received in tips for a $5 from the cash drawer. I like to find the most crisp bills, so I picked up the first 3-4 in the slot to select the one with the least wear. This is what I found -
My first reaction was anger... then frustration... then sadness...
Is this really what our nation has come to? Is this what your family and friends have fought, bled and died for?
I realize that the person that stamped this bill has the ability and motivation to stamp every bill that goes through his/her fingers. That said, I am willing to remove each one that I come across from circulation. I took this one by my bank this morning and asked if the stamp constituted defacing of currency and made it fit to remove from circulation. The teller, a sweet lady in her 60's looked at the bill and quickly slipped another $5 in the push out drawer at the drive thru. I knew I was not alone by the look in her eye when she said "I will take this one out of circulation myself."
