Question About Damaged Paper Money?
will a bank accept half of a bill for deposit? I was really just curious if the bill was worthless to me. I don't know how I ended up with it. It is a fifty, though and I hate to eat fifty dollars.

1. If the serial numbers are there - no problem at all. If not,
I remember reading somewhere that at least half the bill had to be intact to be considered legal tender. There may be some info on the Treasury Dept website.

4. If the seriel # is readable
My dog ate a hundred dollar bill a few weeks ago. I was able to salvage bit and pieces and the woman at the bank pieced together enough to read the serial #, she then could replace it.
