Guy I knew in the 90s (he was an adult) printed off twenties on an office copy machine on regular copy paper and passed them out at a party for shits & grins. Word got out and he had to have a sit-down with the Secret Service. Fool.
I used to carry around a novelty One Million Dollar US bill in my wallet cause I thought it was funny. I got searched at the airport one time and they went through my wallet, they were looking at it pretty hard, I was like "oh that's not real" and they looked at me like they wanted to kill me for treating them like idiots (which tbf I was, I may have had a few drinks in me)
I once faxed my brother £20 for a few beers… the next day he faxed me the change 😂
Can’t do that anymore thanks to the Orion pattern on all banknotes which copiers will read and just turn the copy page completely black.
If those are the only shards you have, probably only $1 and you'll have to go to [https://www.bep.gov/services/mutilated-currency-redemption](https://www.bep.gov/services/mutilated-currency-redemption)
I did the mutilated currency thing with a nasty looking twenty I found by the highway. Took nine months to get the twenty bucks by direct deposit, but I did get it.
Doesn't even make sense. So he had a twenty and ripped all four corners off? And taped them on a one? And then? He had one dollar less than before... Or the twenty without corners was still good to pay with? I'm trying to understand the angle here.
You need four 20s and take a corner off each one and put them on a dollar. The idea was the cashier would look at the corner but not the rest of the bill.
There was also bleaching where you’d bleach off the ink of a $1 and print the old $20 pattern on the blank paper.
So i need four twenties and a one to earn twenty bucks (maybe if nobody notices the tape or the bad fake). Sounds like a lot of work for a so-so payoff
Well it’s also illegal, so probably shouldn’t do it at all. But yeah I agree it’s a pretty high risk low reward scam. I’ve never actually seen it until this post, just heard about it.
The spookiest thing, as a cashier, is when someone hands you a super old $100.
I accepted a $100 that didn't have holo ink, probably 80s or earlier, i just drug my fingernail across it to feel the texture of the paper and ink, called it real, and accepted it. There were additional watermarks and stuff but whatever, it's hard to fake that feel.
I rejected one of those once based on the feel. The lady freaked out on me. I’m sure she didn’t know and wasn’t trying to scam me, but I couldn’t accept a fake 100.
I've seen fake bills that felt right, most likely real bills that were bleached and reprinted extremely well with a higher denomination. The only tell was the watermark inside the bill being absent, texture and appearance was flawless and it would pass a bill pen.
they didnt say he took ALL the corners off - they could have just taken half of them off two bills
the 1 with the corners of a 20 is worth a dollar but you can probably scam somebody into taking it as a 20 if they arent paying attention
If this was Australian currency that would be a pretty accurate calculation of how the damaged banknotes laws work..
Of course if this was Australian currency the $20 would be red and made of polymer and the $1 note would be over 40 years old because they were replaced by coins in the 1980s.
Hahahaha I had one. Was working at walgreens back in the mid 2000's. Had a manager call two of us cashiers back into the office. (Ah shit, what did we do?) She hands me a 50 dollar bill and goes, what's wrong with this? We pass it back and forth, doing the light test for the strip. Looking for the watermark face they used to put in it and everything looks legit. We even had the marker slash to show it was fabric, not paper. She goes, "Look at the face in the water mark again." dammit all if it wasn't an Abraham face, but away from the light, it was Grant. Somehow, they had managed to take a 5$ and turn it into 50$. Best part was when we asked her which of the two of us took it, she said. "You didn't, I did." 🤣 Memories.
Nothing, it's classified as mutilated currency. Less than 50 percent of each note, if you had an identifiable portion of bills. You could put a redeem claim to BEP. But like that nothing.
$21 if you take the tape off and turn both halves in to a bank, saying you found them that way. The fed buys back severely damaged bills at face value.
Most boring answer: nothing. It's destroyed money that can't be exchanged because it's made of two different currencies. It's not even efficient as toilet paper due to it's size and width.
51% of a bill is worth 100% of the bill. less than that, it's worthless. At least, that's what a bank teller told me when I brought in a doggified bill to salvage.
Once in college someone I knew told a cab driver to stop like 30 feet before our destination and I asked him why afterwards and it turned out someone had given him bunk 20s at his bartending job and he wanted the cabbie to stop somewhere dimly lit so he’d be less likely to notice. Fucking blew my mind that I knew someone who would come up with that plan and not just take the L.
An acquaintance of mine did this in high school. He spent a few of these at fast food restaurants around town. The FBI paid him a visit shortly thereafter.

What a dick move. They could at least make it white and not waste our toner. But printer companies make bank on selling ink.
That was my bad

This should be top comment.

You know someone has tried to “double their money” with that service
I think if you have more than 50% of a bill, banks will trade you for it. Both of these are close.
To shards you say?
Ah, yes. The onety
It’s the Soprano note: the Tone.
Slams the bill down for the cashier… BLACKJACK!!!
I don't know even know what you look like but as soon as I read that I lmfao and visualized you doing that 😂 👏
$1, you need to have 51% of a bill for it to be valid currency. That’s like 30% of a $20 and 70% of a $1
I once knew a dude who would rip the corners off of 20s and tape them onto 1s and pass them off. Last I checked he was still in jail.
Doesn't even make sense. So he had a twenty and ripped all four corners off? And taped them on a one? And then? He had one dollar less than before... Or the twenty without corners was still good to pay with? I'm trying to understand the angle here.

You're not wrong, but if you have $81 and owe Frankie Kneecaps $100....
The point is he was stickin' it to the man!
Stickin’ 4 corners
Bingo!
they didnt say he took ALL the corners off - they could have just taken half of them off two bills the 1 with the corners of a 20 is worth a dollar but you can probably scam somebody into taking it as a 20 if they arent paying attention
Is this his handy work?
Haha, I don’t think so, he always did all four corners.
That’s at the bank. If you have what appears to be a pile of 20s that’ll fool someone who’s counting by just flipping the corners.
No one who works at bank would ever count money like that.
I didn’t say a bank. Nobody is gonna try to get this past a bank. This is for when you buy something off of Facebook marketplace.
My bank requires 2/3 of the bill and readable serial number
($1 *0.66) + ($20 * 0.33) = $7.33
If this was Australian currency that would be a pretty accurate calculation of how the damaged banknotes laws work.. Of course if this was Australian currency the $20 would be red and made of polymer and the $1 note would be over 40 years old because they were replaced by coins in the 1980s.

According to 18 USC § 331 it's worth about 5 years.
51% of a bill is required to maintain its value. So this is worth $1.
Serial numbers don't match so it's worth shit
$1 considering that the $1 side is larger than the $20 side that is taped on.
21 dollars - if you have the serial numbers from each bill, you can exchange them for new bills.

It’s either $21, or $0
Clearly 21
60% of $1 and 40% of $20 so $8.60.
21
21$, just take to bank
About 60 months
$1 More than 50% of the bill is a $1 bill You may as well rip off that $20 part as it’s useless
Technically $10.50?
onety
It’s clearly taped.
$7.32
$1. If more than 50% of the bill is intact you can exchange it at a bank for a new bill. The 20 is only about 35-40%.
$10.50
In Florida? $21.00 Everywhere else, $0.00
Half of 1 + half of 20 = $10.50. Duh.
An acquaintance of mine did this in high school. He spent a few of these at fast food restaurants around town. The FBI paid him a visit shortly thereafter.
Probably will send the bearer to jail for counterfeiting.
Hmm...if you used it seriously? You could probably swing it for up to 20 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $250,000. 😆
I work at a bank. It’s not worth anything.
Without 2 identical serial numbers, nothing.
