Goes as follows: Salva San Patricio a quien resiba este billete Tendra mucho dinero ecriba 7 billetes de a una There's a few misspellings, I think, but, if babelfish plus my guesses plus my friend Lorelei's guesses are right, it translates to: Saint Patrick saves whomever recieves this bill. You will get a lot of money if you write this on 7 dollar bills. So, three things: 1. My first guess was that it was Santeria, but I believe it's not Santeria, because in Santeria, Saint Patrick is actually corresponding to the snake god of Santeria (I think the name's Damballa-Wedo, but I forget). 2. There's a Catholic Currency Cabal. 3. Dollar bill writing may seem like an infinite resource right now, but eventually different memes will compete on that ground.
