technically removing the dollar is a crime regardless of your intention.
Even that depends where you are - in England & Wales you wouldn't be
guilty of theft as defined by the 1968 Theft Act: "a person is guilty
of theft if: he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another
with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it."
So in that case the intent is very relevant.
