A U.S. bill must have at least 1 and one half of the 2 serial numbers to still be considered legal tender. So, more than 1/4 of the bill missing (on one side) will make it no longer viable. When it comes to mutilated money- not just torn or missing but severely damaged most banks/treasuries will require at least 50% of the bill intact and a good reason for the bills condition. Most mutilated money will need to be thoroughly inspected by a representative of the treasury and it will be left to their discretion.

If a dollar or any u.s. currency bill, has at least one whole serial number remaining and legible, it will be traded for a replacement at any u.s. bank.

I just taped the piece torn from the top of the first one into piece of the second that was less than half. So no mutilation. It's because of people who think like I do. :( stupid theives
