yes even if it is wripped in half they will still take it, it will just be only half. for instance if you brought in a $20 and it was only halk of it they would give you ten.

I doubt any bank will take the risk, but the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing will. It is a free service. Check out his web page:

Yes, each half is worth half the bill's value. As long as you have the serial #'s it's ok

Yes, as long as you have over 50% of the bill.
