UGLY MONEY...

NEWS FLASH...
 
See "Ugly Money" in the March, 2005
PLAYBOY
!!!
Since 1998, while running the cash register at Johnny Burrito, I
have encountered unsung artists, poets, philosophers & pundits using our
national currency as their medium. A cost effective delivery to be seen by many. Few folks would throw away money - offensive or not.
I often wonder...what is someone thinking when they do what they do. After several years of collecting, this page was created Feb, 2002.
We are dedicated to featuring their work here - the home for
money drawn on, written on, stamped, stapled & burned...

This just in from
Christine B. of Clackamas, Oregon...
"After seeing your collection of "Ugly
Money" I decided that you
deserve one created for you. I would have glorified it with a
larger denomination, but, well, I'm poor."
THANKS Christine !!! Of course, I sent her a
buck & a bunch of goodies, too. |
|
Hmmm, I'm liking the look of this new
dollar. |
I really like
"IN JOHNNY BURRITO WE TRUST" |
Updating
NOW...
Number of different bills = 300+ !!!
"Ugly Money" to date = $ 1,750+
Seen by
 "Ugly
Money" Fans !!!
(Add 110,000+ when the counter
was reset.)
"THE UGLY BUCK STOPS HERE"... UGLY MONEY in the NEWS...
"Ugly Money" has been in several
newspaper articles. Read all about it here...
(Some popular themes...Devil = 10, Other Religious = 11, Political = 8)
The term "ugly money" does not, necessarily,
reflect the quality of the work. It's just our phrase to categorize any &
all altered / mutilated money.
If you recognize your work, let us give you proper credit !!!
Enjoy, and please send us your own UGLY MONEY...
We'll add your finds to the gallery.

A note for
all these new visitors, this site is probably not as slick as you are used to seeing
on today's Internet. This is just an oddball hobby that seems perfectly suited to be
shared
on this electronic medium. I maintain these simple pages myself & try to update
on a,
somewhat, regular basis. I had no idea this collection of altered currency would
draw
such attention. Enjoy. Cheers, JB |

"Pssst ! Could
your money be talking to you ?"
Feb 23, 1999 story by Jeanne Moos about writing on money.
Unfortunately, only a couple of sentences about the video
story. The downloadable video now goes to CNN adverts.
This is the only reference I have found about this activity.
This "Ugly Money" page was born early Feb, 2002 as
a
result of me and Estaban chatting about our unusual bills & coins. At that time,
we searched & found no such sites. |

Despite arguments, writing on currency
still viewed as illegal
Sep 5, 2001 story by John Schneider in the "Lansing State Journal" about writing
on money. Seems it might be
technically illegal, but no trials to date. |
