yes, but you might get the value of the percent of the bill left intact. So half a bill will get you 5 dollars. |

If MORE THAN 50% is remaining, you should be able to get it exchanged to the full value. If less than 50% is available but you can prove that rest of the bill is completely destoyed, you can get it exchanged to the full value.

One time I burnted up over $250 cause I got my money wet.
And I put it in the oven to dry it and then the Simpsons came on.
I was lauhging cause it was the eposide of the 32 DOh;s from homer
anyway. my girlfreind yelled something is buring. I burned over 50% of my money
BUt I took what i had left to the bank and they told me as long as 50% or more of the bill is good, they can exchange it.
So i was able to recover $25 of the $250 |

No. You need more than half. Otherwise the person who has the other half could cash in hers too.
Fact that you have the serial number half makes no difference. |

If you have more than half of it you can. If its exactly half or less, forget it. |

Torn currency will be replaced at full value by Bureau of Printing and Engraving as long as you have at least 51% of it. |

Yes...the bank replaced one for me that my dog chewed to pieces...all I had left was the corner of a $20 and they replaced it |

No. What if someone were to take back the other half of the bill? Then a $10 would have been replaced by $20. That just doesn't make sense. |

Yes, as long as you have your id and leave all of your contact information at the bank. Some banks may give you a hard time about it, but as long as it has the serial number on it, and it's at least 51% of the bill it will be fine. |

The answer is NO!
That means whoever has the other half would be able to do the same.
Nice try!!! The U.S. Treasury usually requires MORE THAN half a ripped dollar bill to get its full value.
The OCS (Office of Currency Standards) only handles mutilated currency, such as that damaged by fire, water, chemicals, or animals. If your dollar is merely dirty, defaced, worn, or ripped, and more than half of the dollar is clearly visible, you can go to any U.S. bank to exchange it for a fresh dollar. Banks can turn over such currency to a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired or destroyed. |

Well, you certainly have a lot of definite yes & no answers. I'd just say call the bank and ask. It would save you a trip and a lot of aggravation. |

Oh yes you can. I know because I had a $20 dollar bill and the bank doesn't turn you down for damaged money. I went to Bank of America. |
