Interestingly it seems to say you have to agree to all of that, and that if you break it your agreement to use shredded currency may be revoked, but it doesn't make any reference to laws or "we'll come arrest your ass" language.
That doesn't mean it's _not_ illegal, but it does tend to confirm my suspicion that nobody has thought to worry about it.
- geor9e 3y agoThe law they'd arrest you under would just be "conspiracy to defraud the United States" and they'd cite the rules you agreed to
- kmoser 3y agoNothing in the rules seem to indicate that you're not allowed to reassemble the shredded notes, or that you're not allowed to either use them as currency or request replacement for your "damaged" currency. However, I am not a lawyer but I'd bet a court would rule that the act of shredding the currency was intended to permanently invalidate its use as currency, and any attempt to reverse that shredding via reassembly, combined with an attempt to pass off said reconstituted money as US currency, would constitute fraud. So while the rules don't seem to explicitly say you can't do it, it's implied that you can't.
