Harriet Tubman Stamp

Disappointed by the news that the Trump administration was walking back the plan to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, I created this stamp to convert Jacksons into Tubmans myself.
Though anti-counterfeiting laws prohibit the willful destruction of, and stamping of advertisements upon, paper money, pursuant to I.I.18 U.S.C. § 333 of the United States Code, stamped currency is fit for circulation so long as its denomination remains legible.

Handle is 3D printed, stamp is laser engraved.
Included on Thingiverse are three versions of the stamp handle, and the necessary vector files for engraving the stamp itself.
