As a paper money (and coin) collector, I occasionally encounter notes with stamps or writing on them. I have many of these in my collection, while others, especially the hundred dollar bills, are returned to circulation. The term "ugly money" was coined around 2004 when a burrito shop in North Carolina created a website for their circulation finds. The Where's George Main Forum also has a long-running thread where people post their bank/circulation finds.
With that, I invite you to join this art gallery here, which was created on 2023-12-28 mainly for my own amusement. Please click on the images themselves if you wish to view them enlarged.

Hundred dollar bills often have "chop marks" stamped on them. These are done by overseas merchants and currency change houses as a means of authentication, from what I've read.
