AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Dear Artists,

I'm collecting stories about mutilated U.S. currency and coins - if anyone has ever sent damaged dollars to the Fed for replacement, or has any anecdotes about mangled, beat-up, distressed, soiled, altered moolah, please be in touch (or please pass this request along to people you know who might be able to participate).

Thanks a million!
