Emo Lincoln


“300” Jackson


Planet of the Apes Jackson


Power Ranger Lincoln


Music Snob Washington


Darth Washington


Gene Simmons Washington


Tron Lincoln


Super Mario Lincoln


Doped up Washington

  • I guess this invalidates the bill or they would have used a Franklin ($100). Did you notice the artist crossed out the signature of the secretary of the treasury, and signed their name instead (Joe D)!

  • Hani – as far as I know, these bills are still legal tender. 🙂 The artist states he’s a poor college student, so it’s unlikely he’s had a 100 dollar bill on hand to, ah, re-face.

    Nas — Gene Simmons is actually Andrew Jackson and that’s a Doped Up Hamilton you’ve got there. 🙂
