Modification isn't "defacement", though.

  Modification that doesn't alter the denomination or attempt to decieve is legal. A crucial difference.

    I'd argue cleaning notes and coins isn't even "modification" it's just that, cleaning Modification would be writing with a ball-point pen on it.

It's decorated with Chinese graphics to celebrate the year of the tiger. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91hUwSD3ImL._AC_SX679_.jpg https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91hUwSD3ImL... I was very surprised to learn that this is not only legal, but apparently is still considered legal tender. They're produced by a company called "The Merrick Mint" - which is not actually a mint, just a company with "mint" in the name. They specialize in taking real U.S. currently and decorating/coloring it. https://www.merrickmint.com/ https://www.merrickmint.com/
