Cash & Bills: Everything you need to know about valid, invalid, or damaged currency

Got some paper $50 bills from Australia here. There's a little tear in one corner. Where can I actually go to swap these out?

I’m looking to pick up old, defunct bills that aren't legal tender anymore, along with any foreign currency that you can't just swap out at a local US bank.

Shoot me a DM if you want the details.

I need to swap out a fifty-dollar bill; there's a small tear on the edge. Where would be the best place to handle that?

Hey there
I’ve got a handful of old bills lying around:
Zimbabwean, Zambian, Afghan, Belarusian, Turkmen, Egyptian, Kuwaiti, Iranian, and Uzbekistani currency

Does anyone know if I can actually swap these out at a bank, or am I out of luck?

Does anyone happen to know where I can go in Washington, D.C. or maybe out in suburban Philadelphia to exchange some Turkish Lira?🙂

If you’ve got damaged cash, you can swap it out at any bank, but keep in mind they’ll hit you with a fee, and you won't actually see the money for a week or even longer. I did hear there might be a faster way to handle it through the Federal Reserve in Washington, D.C.

Maybe in... Wells Fargo folks. It’s owned by a Turkish conglomerate.

So I've got this $33 bill where the corner was totally ripped off (don't even ask how...), but I kept the little scrap and taped everything back together with some Scotch tape... will this actually work at the grocery store?
Thanks

Give it a shot. If it doesn't work, just head over to Chase and swap it out.

Alright, thanks. My old man told me they’ll actually hold up if you get a really clean seal using the clearest tape you can find, but we'll see how it goes...

haha... that one above is solid...

Someone just handed me a bill with a torn corner... does that still count for anything at a Chase branch?🙂 Is there going to be some kind of service fee? And will they just swap it out for a crisp new one right then and there?

It feels like they hit you with a 10% fee at the bank; that’s what happened to me last year... but I walked out with a fresh bill immediately since the damage wasn't even that bad.

Hey there,
Is it actually possible to exchange American dollars for US dollars—or even swap them for Australian dollars—around the California area? And if so, does anyone know what the current exchange rate is looking like for USD to AUD locally?
Thanks, cheers!

Every single bank and currency exchange office out there changes their rates daily

Question. I have an excessive amount of old currency—Italian lire, Canadian tolar, German marks, British shillings, Canadian forints... you name it.
Does anyone know if there is still a place where this can be exchanged?

You could try selling them as collectibles. Not directly, though.

I’ve got two bills here with ink spilled all over them. Is there any way I can actually get these swapped out, and if so, where do I even go to deal with this mess?

Give it a shot at the local Chase branch where you hold your checking account.

Look, I buy this kind of stuff. Hit me up in the DMs if you want to move it.
