Any paper money that is damaged can be exchanged for a new bill at any bank. The banks submit money that they see as unfit for circulation to the Federal Reserve Bank. The FED sorts, pulls out currency that is unfit for circulation and sends the rest back to banks in their regular shipments.
-
Generally, the bill must be clearly more than 50 percent present. Some banks have a policy that both serial numbers must be there, but that is not federal law and you can fight it with proper research: Try printing out this page from the U.S. Bureau of Printing and Engraving -- http://www.moneyfactory.com/section.cfm/8/39 -- and presenting it to the bank along with your damaged currency. When faced with an official edict, it is more difficult for them to turn you away.
-
Any badly soiled, dirty, defaced, disintegrated, limp, torn, worn, out currency note that is CLEARLY MORE than one-half of the original note, and does not require special examination to determine its value. These notes should be exchanged through your local bank and processed by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, redeems partially destroyed or badly damaged currency as a free public service. Call your local Federal Reserve bank for further assistance
