Strange Stamps On Cash?

I found these stamps on a bill. Anyone know what the heck they are? I recognize the pyramid, but what's up with the pig?

1. Some things have meaning, some are just fun

I think the pig was just for fun.

Others I've seen:

"Queer Money"
"A woman earned this dollar!"
"God Bless You"
"Too hip to live, too cool to die and I have disposable income"

Khash.

(However it is illegal to deface money)

3. The pig looks a bit symbolic

with it's eyes closed.

I have seen some of those bills too. I have found several of the, "I grew hemp" stamps along the way. I have only found 1 "Where is George" stamp. I logged in and found that it came from Los Angeles to South Florida in about 2 years.

I am more interested in the symbol stamps though. Here are a couple more:

7. Its not illegal to deface money

as long as it remains usable. So you can write on a bill, but you cant try to make it look like a different denomination.

wheresgeorge.com has a page that goes into the legal part of it.

2. no idea, try "wheresgeorge.com"

where's george is a currency tracking site. members enter serial numbers from paper bills and track where they go around the country, or the world for that matter. some of them stamp bills with a "where's george" logo. maybe some of their members have personalized bills as part of the hobby? if not, they'd probably know what those are. they take it very seriously.

i found a couple bills with pot leaves stamped on them. that made me wonder.

What should I do with it??
