Destruction Tests Redeem Mutilated Bills At Sub-Treasury
Assistant Treasurer Marler explains how mutilated money is redeemed at the sub-treasury noting the simple rule that three fifths of a bill can be redeemed in full while half a bill yields half its value and a small fragment requires proof the rest was destroyed. He cites cases of bills saved from fire and even chewed or swallowed money, including a man who died after swallowing paper money and was salvaged from his body.
