I have some US paper currency thats beat up real bad. Some of it has holes in it because it's old. Earliest is 1920. I also have coins that are all melted togetjer from a house fire. I heard about 3 yr ago that theres a place in DC that you can send all this money to and they can discifer what kind of money it is and give you face value. I called the US Treasury 3 yrs ago and noone could help me. Does anyone know what I can do or go to for help?

Here is the instruction on how to redeem damaged currency from the US bureau of Engraving and Printing web site:

All large size banknotes (anything dated before 1928) have collector value well beyond face value, even in damaged condition. Same with many 1928, 1929, and 1934 issues. You would probably do well selling it on eBay.

call a coin dealer. those paper bills could be worth more than the face value. if they aren't messed up and if both serial numbers are showing that's even better.the coins can be exchanged by any mint but since they have been melted together you could auction them off on eBay.take pictures of all one at a time and send to eBay.there are many collectors out there that will bid on anything that is unusual
