<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 26307625, member: 4626"]The Federal Reserve is supposed to replace your note as long as there's at least 51% of it intact. Private banks aren't necessarily required to do the same, but they usually will if it's reasonably clear enough of it is intact. If it's not reasonably easy to verify, they may turn it down and tell you to send it directly to the Federal Reserve.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember seeing a TV show years ago (I think it might have been "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" back in the days Jack Palance was hosting it) where someone had accidentally dropped their wallet in a campfire and someone from the Federal Reserve was piecing together the ashes to see if there was enough evidence to verify what bills they had to get replacements. I'm not sure if they would still go through that much effort lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
