I wish we could do something like that to the Queen on our $5 note.

Nothing is stopping you.

Unless you have no money.

Or hands.

In the USA,

Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both. - See more at: http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/uscode/18/I/17/333#sthash.vwyxZvri.dpuf

No such law exists in Canada. Mutilate, cut, deface, disfigure, perforate, unite, or cement the bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt to your hearts content.edit: paper money, apparently, I should have read a little further. There is a Canadian law that explicitly states coins, but paper money is free game for legal defacement.

Irrelevant.  Also, If your government tells you how to use your $5 will you do what they say?

Did that too...

I also remove the inner parts of 1 and 2 € coins from time to time and mix them just for the lulz.

I really like the idea of painting/modding money. Ill just start to draw faces on them, maybe well meet again.

I have participated in this from time to time.
