[QUOTE="ldhair, post: 2493751, member: 11540"]You have it correct. I can add a bit to this. I can only speak to what was going on at the Federal Reserve in OKC about 40 years ago. They punched holes in them that took out part of the serial number. They were cut in half length wise and half was burned. They brought in witnesses from different parts of the bank to sign that they saw the notes being destroyed. Some of the second half were shredded and bagged and workers were allowed to take them home. I have a 5 gallon water bottle filled with them and a bag in the attic. I'll bet things have changed over the years.[/QUOTE]
