You need 3/4 of the bill to get a new $20 bill. |

Have to have more than half. |
|

No. You need more than half. |

you must have at least half of the bill (51%), OR it must be evident from the damage that the rest of the bill is destroyed, for example if the bill was only 25% there, but the edges are burnt so it is obvious that the rest was burned.
Plus, banks aren't obligated to exchange it, the federal government will exchange large quantities of damaged or partailly missing bills if you can prove how and why they were damaged, (example again, if you had a wad of cash that was partially burned when your house burned down)
I'd count it as a $20 lesson in taking better care of your stuff. |

No. you have to have at least 51% |

no, 51% needed for replacement of torn currency...less needed for burned or moldy bills |
|

Guess What---BALLS
|
think about it...
If you could, i would take a $100 bill...rip the left 1/4 off and right 1/4 off...take both 1/4's 2 different banks and i'd have 2 hundred dollar bills.
basically No they won't |

you have to have 51% of a bill for it to be usable |

If the "most" or "all" the serial number is there, maybe. Check with a bank. They may require all the number. |

No, you have to show atleast 51% of the bill. Other wise you could tear a $20 in to 3 and get $60 back. |

Oh, bummer. Pretty sure that you have to have both of the full serial #'s or something to prove you didn't rip it in half to use it twice. :( |
|

B2J
 |
no lol probably not... you'll need at least 3/4 of it |
|

You need the 2 serial numbers to show that they match. What did you do with the rest of the bill? |
|

Megan F
|
you can if you have the dollar code on it.
Thats proof its a dollar if not,
your kinda screwed. |
|

starz..
|
I think it has to have the water sign in the part you want replaced for the new one |
|

|
tore it? im pretty sure there has to be atleast half, or else the bill has lost its value, and is nolonger legal US currency, but act really nice to the teller, maybe they'll give you a break. |

NO.
The bank has no obligation to exchange your torn bill for a new one.
If they do, it is as a courtesy. |
|

Maria b
|
Both sides have to have the serial number showing, and you'll be OK. |
|

tom bailey
|
Unfortunately, no. |
|

crazyem

Not too likely. Especially considering someone's probably already used the other 3/4 for a full 20. |
