It’s strange when you find the same marking on several bills. It’s even stranger when you find them on consecutive bills. It probably means that I’m connected to the culprit by only one or two people. It’s like when I get my bills back at the casino. I usually get several back at once, but for some reason, I get only a few at a time. (I don’t think I’ve gotten more than five or six back, despite putting in up to 25 at a time.)

I’ve been reading and I’ve heard that companies and organizations will often do this to show a community what their presence means in said community. $2 bills have even been used for this purpose. The idea is that when people see the bills and/or markings on a repeated basis, they get the idea. They’ll even circulate and serve as a constant reminder for whatever length of time that the bills stay in town.

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. First off, I wouldn’t think that any one company is so vital to our economy that they would be able to do this and have it work effectively. Secondly, the mark has to have some link to the company, such as a logo. I have no idea what this logo.

As I’ve said before, this may be someone wanting to see how many of their bills come back to them. I’d like someone to see this and explain it to me. I know that I’m going to be totally wrong on it and that there’s some obvious explanation for it, but for now, that’s what I’m going with.
