Um, no. It's not.
18 U.S. Code § 333 - Mutilation of national bank obligations
I guess there's some wiggle room with regards to intent and whether it could be argued that adding Nazi iconography (moreso than trump's face as-is) to bills renders them unfit to be kept in circulation.
If my personal freedom was on the line here, I'm sticking with "idk it was like that when I got it - can I get a new one please?" vs "ooh come on, it's fiiine, you can still spend this!" but interpreting the law isn't my specialty, so grain of salt.
We're a long way from "super duper illegal" now aren't we? Intent is everything. If you're not attempting fraud nobody will care.
