‘Look. This… is all a mistake. I’m just a compound interest program. I work at a savings and loan! I can’t play these video games! ‘ - The Friar

Defacing US money is illegal, but it is illegal only if you render the bill unfit for circulation and you can get a fine or not more than six months in prison or both. I’m sure the same or similar is the case in Canada, so the question is does this Tron money I found on the internet be considered as defacement or not. I mean I still know what the bill is and maybe it’s an improvement. It makes Abraham Lincoln and The Right Honourable Sir Wilfrid Laurier look positively futuristic, and that is some achievement.
