- resolutebat 3y agoWhy? They're real notes.
- plorkyeran 3y agoThey were real notes. The notes reconstructed from the remnants of real notes are not real notes.
- Scoundreller 3y agoThey gotta be recording the serial numbers and listing them as "cancelled" in some database somewhere, right? But with enough shredded pieces, you could always reconstruct a different number.
- adrianmonk 3y agoNo, once it is taken out of circulation by the government, it is not a real note. It's like revoking a TLS cert. It was once real. Now it's not.
- geor9e 3y agoNah. Counterfeiting never includes repairing, unless you find the most corrupt country to stretch the definition. In the USA, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is who would sell the shredded currency (by the ounce) and their Mutilated Currency Division is who would redeem it (at face value). They are a federal agency so they'd pass the evidence to the FBI and charge you with conspiracy to defraud the United States.
