| Jan 15, 2013 at 19:15 | comment | added | George Marian | @littleadv I don't understand what is not clear. Do you have enough of the bill to go into a bank and redeem it? Apparently not. (Have you even tried that?) It may qualify as mutilated currency, so try that route. Since you may run into an issue about having exactly 50% of the bill, you should try to get the other half of the bill from the vending company. | |
| Jan 15, 2013 at 18:20 | comment | added | littleadv | @GeorgeMarian they want more than half, not at least. Quote: "More than 50% of a note identifiable as United States currency is present". | |
| Jan 15, 2013 at 4:58 | comment | added | George Marian | @littleadv "At least half" = 50% = "exactly one half" They can all be equivalent. | |
| Jan 15, 2013 at 3:10 | comment | added | MrChrister | I read this too. If the vending machine operator did it, wouldn't that effectively double the $5? | |
| Jan 15, 2013 at 1:56 | comment | added | Eric | I just saw your comment on the original question - sorry it was hidden. Perhaps if the $5 dollars is worth it, you can submit it the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and they could provide you a value. I'd be interested to understand what the process is about and if they would actually give you face value or some predetermined value based on how much of the bill is left. | |
| Jan 15, 2013 at 1:45 | comment | added | littleadv | I found that, but it doesn't address a case where its exactly one half.... (Kids, don't put so much pressure when you fold the bills in your pockets in half!) | |
