LPT If you have any ripped up legal US currency ($1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100 bills) that shows the serial number and is at least 50% of that bill, take it to any US bank and they will give you a new bill of that dollar amount. Edit: $2, $500, and $1000 bills also work as well. Although $500 and $1000 bills are uncommon, they are legal tender bills that can be used. They’re just not seen publicly as much. submitted by /u/devicto89
