As one FB poster put it, "It is legal to make a thick black mark through that signature. Making marks is allowed as long as it doesn’t deface the serial number or otherwise make it so it can’t circulate." The law is about making the money unusable. A blacked-out signature does not have that effect. I'm hoping, myself, that within a year of this new bill's circulation, 70-80% of them will have the president's name black out - redacted, if you will, just as his name is redacted in the Epstein files. If you get my drift. On #5, "It is technically illegal to deface money", I don't think that applies to the idea of using a Sharpie to black out the president's signature on a dollar bill.
