Family searches feces of cash-eating dog
Family searches feces of cash-eating dog - Yahoo! News


MENOMONIE, Wis. - Debbie Hulleman's dog Pepper has been known to gnaw on lipstick, munch on shampoo bottles and chew on toothpaste. But Pepper got Hulleman into a real mess after gobbling nearly $750.


"This is probably the worst," Hulleman said Thursday, recalling how she poked through vomit and dog piles left in the yard to recover the cash.

Hulleman had asked her mother in Oakdale, Minn., to take care of Pepper and Zach, the family's other dog last month while she and husband went on vacation.

Pepper, an 8-year-old black Labrador-German shorthair, got into a purse belonging to her mother's friend and chewed the cash from an envelope.

"We have a $100 bill that can't be recovered because you need three-fourths of a bill and it is only half of a bill," Hulleman said.

I guess this is changeable from bank to bank because my bank only needs half. I looked on line and it seems as though that is the most common requirement, not 3/4ths of a bill.

Hmm... my understanding was that you needed both the serial numbers.

Edit: BUt apparently I was mistaken... I think the answer is "more than half" (But not 3/4)

From the bureau of engraving:

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]What is mutilated currency?
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Currency notes which are: [/FONT]
  • [FONT=Arial,Helvetica][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica]
    [*] NOT CLEARLY more than one-half of the original note and/or,
    [*] in such condition that the value is questionable and special examination is required to determine its value.    [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Currency can become mutilated in any number of ways. The most common causes are: fire, water, chemicals, explosives; animal, insect or rodent damage; and petrification or deterioration by burying. Under regulations issued by the Department of the Treasury, mutilated United States currency may be exchanged at face value if: [/FONT]
  • [FONT=Arial,Helvetica][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica]
    [*] more than 50% of a note identifiable as United States currency is present; or,
    [*] 50% or less of a note identifiable as United States currency is present, and the method of mutilation and supporting evidence demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Treasury that the missing portions have been totally destroyed.

But, then it says this:

he OCS only handles mutilated currency, such as that damaged by fire, water, chemicals, or animals. If your dollar is merely dirty, defaced, worn, or ripped, and more than half of the dollar is clearly visible, you can go to any U.S. bank to exchange it for a fresh dollar. Banks can turn over such currency to a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired or destroyed.
