I think the bank might get suspicious when the reassembled bank note looks like it was shredded and reconstituted. I guess you could say something like "My toddler thought it would be funny to shred a stack of money"
- tialaramex 3y agoFor a large amount it's likely that AML checks apply, but if you have most (> 50%) of a Bank of England note and can explain why they will give you new one instead. https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/damaged-and-contaminated-banknotes https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/damaged-and-contam... The form says you need to provide ID if it's £700 or more, and they need witnessed ID for £10 000 or more for AML reasons, sadly you can't apply in person so no tearing up banknotes and popping into Threadneedle Street to do it on the spot as a tourist. As that link mentions if the problem with your "damaged" note is that it was in a dye pack which exploded during your bank robbery, that's not an "accident" and you don't get an undyed replacement note - you're a crook, if you weren't smart enough to give a fake name and address you're getting arrested.
