A friend of mine found half of a $100 bill on the ground and someone that was walking past told us that if you take it to the bank they will give you half of what the bill is worth. Was this person pulling our leg or were they serious?

I was wondering the same question myself today

If you take in more than half, you can get the full value. less than half, or exactly half, no.

I sincerely doubt it. Defaced government currency is of no value, not to mention, that it's illegal to deface money of any sort, which makes me wonder why so many people get away with flattening pennies at theme parks. That's a stupid thing to do anyway, even if it is just a penny.
If we could do that, wouldn't it just be easier to make full monetary bills with perforations in them, so we could rip them into tenths, twenty-fifths, halfs, et cetera to make change? Sorry, but your friend was lied to... that half a hundred dollar bill is worth nothing more than toilet paper.

When you bring a bill to the bank, it has to be more than 50% complete. If the bill is 51% complete or more, you will get face value for the bill. Less than that and it's worth nothing at a bank.

If you have more that 50% of the bill you will be paid the full face value of the bill, $100.00

Sorry no.
You need both serial numbers to get the face value. One serial number is worthless
