# "Lucky One Dollar Bills" - Judge Magazine Promotion This is primarily an **advertisement/promotion** rather than political satire. Judge magazine is soliciting readers to send in rare one-dollar bills featuring George Washington with specific characteristics: containing "ten letters" in the name "Washington" and having a "green back." The promotion offers a prize of ten weeks' free subscription to Judge ("The World's Wittiest Weekly") to anyone who can produce such a bill. The phrase "Incidentally, do it now" adds urgency. This appears to be a **scam or joke promotion**—the criteria described seem designed to be impossible to satisfy, making it either a humorous hoax or a scheme to collect actual currency under false pretenses. Readers are assured their identities won't be published, which raises further suspicion about the legitimacy of the offer.
