I recently got a $1 bill in change with interesting rubber stamp overprints.
On the front, over the Treasury Department seal is printed:
"Nuremberg Laws
Adolph Hitler
1935
HB 1804
Randy Miller
2007"
On the back of the bill in the center the overprint reads:
"Native People. Don't buy anything from Quick Trip, Tulsa World, Daily Oklahoman, Farm Bureau Insurance, McDonald's Restaurants or Eskimo Joes."
Apparently these were a form of protest by some Native American group against House Bill 1804 a few years back.
I have never seen one of these before and wondered if anyone else had seen them.

I think it's a game. You have to figure out which of the 6 companies on the back match to the 6 phrases on the front.
Selling it?
$5 bid.
$5.50
$6....@%600 gain!
$7, he's being tight.
Looks to me like this newbie is teasing us....he does not know we repel the teasers. ;)
I did not place the message to sell the $1, I placed it hoping to get some more information on the organization that overprinted the money.

You're right.
Conan wanted it to impress the girls at Cloud Nine.
Me? Just another stab at blab.
I remember some of this past.
There were some business groups mad at Governor Brad Henry for some of his deals with the tribes. They thought he had signed contracts that put non-tribal owned businesses at too much of a disadvantage.
Tribal smoke shops only charge one fourth of taxes on their sales as Quik Trip does (26 cents per pack versus $1.03). It is a little more complicated than that...it is different for each tribe and it is only on pre 2006 rates with tribally sold cigarettes within 10 miles of the border are only taxed 6 cents per pack.
Quik Trip and some other businesses formed a lobbying group to try and get the taxes more equal. The group called themselves One Nation OK.
The tribes fired back calling for a boycott of any business that had been approached to be involved and called them all racist.
Well since he won't sell me the bill, anyone got a pack of race cards they'll sell me for $7.00?
