can i do anything with one half of a one hundred dollar bill?

Question

I have only one half of a one hundred dollar bill. The other half was destroyed. Is there any bank or financial institute that would exchange this bill?

Answer 1

You need at least 2/3 of a bill, or it is useless. This is to avoid people cashing in on double bills. Also, the cereal number on the side of the bill must be intact. If it's slightly more than half, worth a try at the bank. If it's exactly half or less, it is a no-go. They will not give half the value for half a bill.

Answer 2

I'm not sure but I think that you must have at least 1/2 of the bill in order for it to be used. I could be wrong, I would call your bank and see if they know.

Answer 3

Yes. I read that if you call a government institution (I can't remember if it was a mint or an actual agency that specializes in this department) then they'll ask you to send in your half and they'll give you a full one. But it has to be a little more than half. That way people can't send in two halves and get double their money.

Anyway, call a couple of government departments or a mint and see what you can come up with. I mean, it's 100 bucks!

Answer 4

Yes, you should be able to go to a National bank and get $50 for it if it is about half size and all $100 if it somewhat more than half. I don't recall the exact percentages you have to have to get the various payouts. Call first. This comes up on the news about burned money, etc.

Answer 5

Have you asked the question of a bank ? That is your first stop. If they can't give you an answer you may as well destroy the half you own.

Answer 6

No, you must have at least 3/4 of the bill.
