Defacing Money as Protest

If you thought that the opposition protests in Iran were all over and done with... just know it continues. It appeared after the first weeks of major clashes with the police the demonstrators turned to continued pacifist (think "Gandhi did not bring down the British Empire with cannons or armies: he did it with a pinch of salt and a spinning wheel") protest. One aspect in the defacing of money by stamping or writing political slogans, such as the large green victory V or printing Neda's photo with "death to dictator", or throwing in a swastika to make sure the point is getting across. Pretty intense. Apparently there are so many notes that the government has stopped trying to control them.

Example:

Top: Death to Khamenei is crossed out/colored
Bottom: Shame can not be erased by crossing out/coloring

I love the idea of hand delivering this messages to the masses, continually and obstructively, it's in the same vein at the vegetarian argument I wrote about earlier
