Dan Marx Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 This past week end I was a vendor at the Pee Dee Street Rodders Run to the Sun in Myrtle beach. When I got home I tallied up the money. I found one half of a $20.00 bill. Some one had given me a $20 that I had assumed was folded in half and I just put it in my pocket. This was first for me.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 If it's more than 50% of the bill, you can go to your bank and they'll replace it with a whole bill.....if it's less than 50%, then the other guy is on the way to his bank and you're out of luck.....

MarrsCars Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I've seen $1 bills with just the end trimmed off and replaced with a $20 strip, most people look at the face on a single bill but when part of a stack you generally just check the numbers and move on. I have never seen a large bill like this, I think these scammers assume $20 is the highest they can go without anyone really giving the funds a once over.

Guest Gary Hearn Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I bought a house 2 weeks ago and instinctively lifted up the front mat. To my surprise there was a wet, folded $20 bill. I only had 3/4 of it, the other piece was stuck to the mat. Think I will frame it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozrocks Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 If it's more than 50% of the bill, you can go to your bank and they'll replace it with a whole bill.....if it's less than 50%, then the other guy is on the way to his bank and you're out of luck.....I had a similar incident 12 months ago when visiting the USA. I took the note to the bank teller, and he looked up the serial number. His words"Because you are the first to bring the note in you get a nice new note. Whoever has the other part misses out." The serial number must be all there and the note not signed off for destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer09 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 David,always heard the same story, but have never put it to the test with going into the bank for a "trade".My question is-what if the scammer purposely splits the bill 50/50-would one be reimbursed with 50% of a bill?

trimacar Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 The "more than 50% rule" applies to a bill that's cut or torn. Special rules can apply to bills that are less than 50%, if it's easy to see where the othe part went.....for example, a stack of bills, burned more than 50%, but in a situation where the ashes of the remainder are evident ( burned in a closed metal box, for example)... The Treasury has the rules! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Dandy Dave, I believe in that example you'd lose your ash......LOL.. Yeah, That is what I figured. Better to keep the big money buried in Mason Jars in the Ground. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
