It's valid in the US as long as both of the serial numbers are still intact and they match.  I

I enter those bills and I write it on new bills I get!  I think it's cool to see where the bills end up.  I have had hits from NY, Puerto Rico, Ohio, SC, Virginia, Oklahoma...all from just spending them in my neighborhood.  Cool, huh?

**looks at bill**\n\nYep, you should pay it.

I am sure its legal since you altered it and are not using it as legal tender or even trying to convince anyone it is.\n\nI get coupons occasionally that look like a hundred dollar bill on one side and on the back side is a coupon for something.  I've seen money that looks real except for the face in the center is Alfred E Newman or some other odd character.\nSo obviously its okay to make a "spoof" or parody of currency, its just not okay to try and pass it off as real.

Both have had a Bill in them

This appears to be a minting error and the coin is probably worth a few dollars. Take it to a coin collector and have it appraised.

I say yes because I pay everything online and I can see that the payment has been accepted and the bill is paid. But my mom freaks out when she seems me do something like that and says that you should keep everything like that for a few years in case something happens and they say that you didn't pay. I don't see how keeping a copy of the bill could prove that you paid it, and its just a waste of space in my mind.

simply photocopy the serial numbers on the face of the bills....this is undeniable proof of stealing.\n(Provided you catch them "red-handed" with the bills in question, of course...)\n\nI don't advise "making" money (marked or not) as this is counterfeiting & is a federal offense.

Paper money is destroyed in a fire.  What extra marks?  You can send old bills to the US Treasury and they will send you the same amount back in nice crisp new ones.  Banks do the same thing...  Every once in a while, they come across a really messed up bill.  They send it back and they get new ones.

On American money the year of issue is printed on each bill and coin, did you try looking at your money for issue dates? That would be a good place to start..........

The $500 bill featuring William McKinely's portrait was not issued until 1929.\n\nNo idea what exactly is in your possession, or if it is worth anything.

You would have to take it to a coin dealer to find out. They can grade its condition and look it up. Chances are, it isn't worth more than 25 cents, but it is worth at least a penny!

take it to a bank and have them check it. \n\n2.00 bills are older, so the watermark may not exist, if they were made some time ago.\n\nGenerally the feel of a counterfeit bill is smoother than a true bill. \n\nThe Bank will know. \nGood luck.

It seems I heard recently that there is no reason to keep a copy of a bill once it has been paid. This means, once you get the next bill showing that your last payment cleared as expected, there is no longer any value in keeping the bill. Unless you have some specific use for them, I'd say it would be safe to shred them as long as there is no type of dispute for which you are awaiting an outcome. \n  However, I also have seen advice to keep them for one calendar year. So, when May's bills come in, you can shred bills from May 2005...and all those that came before.\n  Good luck!

Q13\n\n\nWhere could one exchange mutilated notes?\n\n\n\n\nA13\n\n\nUnder the Currency Act, mutilated notes and dirty/damaged coins command no value. Any award for mutilated note and dirty/damaged coin is an act of grace by MAS.\n \nCustomers may deposit the notes at any commercial bank instead of direct one-for-one exchange. The assessed value will be awarded by the bank according to the guidelines from MAS, and where necessary banks may refer the notes to MAS for a more thorough assessment. \n\nShould you encounter problems in the exchange, please call MAS at 6349-4655 or 6349-4615 for assistance.

um...i found a $100 Bill on the ground of a Gas Station. i put my foot over it and looked around to see if anyone was looking and bent down and grabbed it and rushed back to my car and sped away....it was desperatly needed to pay bills...i wish i could find more of them. and no, i dont feel the least bit guilty in keeping it....sometimes you have to accept the things that come your way and never take them for granted.
