Dollar bills serve as artist's canvas

Is it illegal to burn money?
Or rather, how illegal?

if its illegal to burn money explain to me why it wouldn't be illegal to blend money into a martini!?!

Also it is most definitely not illegal to draw on your money, for pete's sake we did an experiment like 4 months ago writing codes on the bottom edge of a dollar.

Defacement of Currency

Defacement of currency is a violation of Title 18, Section 333 of the United States Code. Under this provision, currency defacement is generally defined as follows: Whoever mutilates, cuts, disfigures, perforates, unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, Federal Reserve Bank, or Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such item(s) unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

Defacement of currency in such a way that it is made unfit for circulation comes under the jurisdiction of the United States Secret Service. The United States Secret Service web address is www.secretservice.gov.
