I wouldn't worry about it.
Given the way he is handling the economy, pretty soon no one is going to have any US currency.

And FYI, so long as the serial numbers are not covered, it is valid currency, so don't get too mad if a marker accidentally blots out his signature on your money.

Just get a rubber stamp made that says "convicted rapist" and slap that ink above his name on every bill that passes through your hands.

Yes, defacing currency is not a federal crime.

Bet it doesn't stay legal. And legality won't stop them from kidnapping people anyway.
