Being that I play a lot of poker I always have cash on me. And something I've noticed in the last year or so are the mysterious markings I keep seeing on hundred dollar bills. Now I know it seems to be trendy to hate on the Federal Reserve and blast the U.S. Treasury for how they bail out people, and being a poker player I don't have any love for either of them at the moment, but that doesn't mean I would fuck with their money.

     Of the 16 examples I have; 13 have markings on the front of the hundred dollar bill while 3 are on the back. What kind of sub culture is doing this? Is this the work of a Banksy type character? Is it some kind of elaborate form of communicating? Or is this what art school dropouts do to leave a mark?

     I've grouped the markings into four categories so far: Symbols, Animals, Letters/Initials and Random.



SYMBOLS


A red diamond with KK on one point



Could this have Middle Eastern connections?



Another possible Middle East connection?



This one looks like a fraternity symbol.



LETTERS/INITIALS




















ANIMALS


A blue lion.



A red cat.



A blue bird with the initials A M on it.



RANDOM


I don't know what this is or if I even have it right-side up.



Two random blue markings on the right side of the bill with a red G in the bottom righthand corner.
