IMO writing "Your government lies" on a banknote isn't going to make much of an impact and people will probably pass it off as some asshat who was bored. It'll be a better idea to write a website on a banknote, one with a descriptive domain, like www.yourgovernmentlies.com (Or something a bit shorter). And then offer clear explanations on the site as to why you did it and why and how the government lies.
Do pies idea then write it on all your notes, make a deposit in a bank, next time ppl withdraw money. The money should get passed around quite quickly.
Nah you shouldn't worry abotu offences with money and stamping. People at local shops, business, etc number money all the time.
aye in the future we will be adding the url of site(s) with the information, right now i just want to see how this goesQuote:

But I spent it before I could take a picture. Didn't wanna be all negative about it, it's Canadians we're talking about.
It might look a little awkward if you visit the same store often, and all your bills appear to have writing on them. I dunno about your cashiers, but here in Canada, they always inspect the bill before they take it.
aye dont write on any bill, i think the most you should write on is every 5 notes, and even then thats for when you are far away from home
I'm probably just gonna write on every odd note, not like every 4th or whatever but any random note I find and I remember to write on.Quote:

hmm i would agree - writing a url/domain on notes would be more effective
I'm not sure writing a web URL on a bank note would be very effective, it's not every day someone finds a bank note with a random URL on it.
writing url's will seem like an advertisement and people will blow it off. sending a message will keep people thinking about it. Saying a brief statement like "The government lies" is enough to keep a person thinking about it for the next few minutes.
That's why I said they should use descriptive domain names.
Nah this isn't V for Vendetta or something, people will just think it's some bored guy taking the piss. A descriptive URL would be far more informative.Quote:

I know for a fact I wouldn't visit the URL, because for one I don't look at my money while I'm at home. I look at my money when I pay for things, or when I receive it, the chances that I'll remember to look up that URL are tiny.
To be honest it's a bit of a nonissue because there's no reason you can't have a message and a URL.
That in itself makes more sense.Quote:
