Good comment
No one searched for this video and we somehow all still found it
Cool do u really think you are the only one getting this recommended? Of course other people also get this recommended that’s why this video has so many views. Saying “no one searched for this video and we still found it” is like saying “fun fact : you probably ate today” there are a lot of people who will relate to this but also some that don’t. The ones who don’t just keep scrolling while the others like this comment that you probably copy pasted. This way your Fortnite channel grows without you even trying because you are verified. And the people liking this comment annoy me even more because they actually think this was funny or they liked it because you are verified. Tip : If you really want to grow an channel with an community that isn’t made of inactive subs and 9 year olds then try to gain your subs legitimate. Have a great day.

There's actually a reason behind it, bills in banks have trackers on them, when criminals rob a bank they often put the money in microwaves to fry the device, also hidding your money in your oven in actually smart, it's the last place a robber will think of

Farmer killed his cow for his wallet, then forgot he only had a $20 and a bunch of receipts in there.
*Outstanding Move*
If only beef was worth money🤔🤔
Dumb move cause he could sell the cow for way more
How do you know he killed his cow for the wallet? Something like a wallet would have caused a serious obstruction in the digestive tract that would have caused severe and possibly (probably) fatal consequences. The cow probably died a very painful death.
@@LuinTathren Yeah that seems more plausible. But the opposite sounds fucking hilarious...

@New Type Of Flex you are blowing it out of proportion, same thing as the assholes against universal healthcare. Everything has a cost, but cost should be a comparative measure of worth. Even replacing the bills has a higher worth then a lot of politicians.

new idea: put a strip of some kind of unbreakable material that will not break or get lost, dissolve all the other materials in pile of broken cash, count the unbreakable material things
Money might rip in a place that would leave that strip out of the larger piece. The part with the strip might then be lost.
Plus cost if implementing this would be expensive, good idea tho

True story: about 10 years ago my uncle found an old, melted, burned metal lockbox with burned money in it. They were old, from the 70s and he brought it home....but a buddy told him about this, he sent it in and recovered $20,000 or so. They don't mention average wait is over 6 months with ZERO communication. He said it was a pleasant surprise because he forgot about it. But if you are counting on that money....you're still screwed

That was 10 years ago, Michael.
True....but frankly nothing about the government gets better with time. It's probably a year wait by now...lol

So? Much better than having it botched though.

I didn't know this existed, I didn't search for this... But for some reason, I now have peace of mind over something I never realized was a threat.
This is a basic service that's provided by central banks all over the world, not just in the US. They're just essentially replacing the already existing bills with a new one, the net amount of money in circulation stays the same.
This is a great story about the Mutilated Currency Division that help people get back lost or damage money.

pro tip, don’t keep gold jewelry in plastic tupperware containers hidden under bras with underwire. the treasury was able to replace the charred money, but couldn’t extract gold fused into the plastic and metal lol. fireproof boxes everyone
As an American, I can't believe I've NEVER heard of this. There was a flood in a house I was renting and I had a box of $2 dollar bills that I had been saving for years (I just love $2 bills, don't ask me why). It was in the closet, on the top shelf, right below where the water pipe burst. By the time I found the box, the bills had dried together and were basically useless. If I had known about this department I would've sent that money in and restarted my collection in no time. Now I'll be telling all my friends and family about this. Unbelievable.
Another awesome story has been told! You're such an inspiration for my channel. Keep it up :)

i love this channel so much. was handed change from a cashier once that consisted of half of a $10 bill which i didn't notice til later and couldn't get rid of it. i'm guessing this isn't a case you guys accept....
a pro tip
If you tore your dollar bill ,and one half is missing,
as long as the serial number is there and the denomination shows, and some identification witness marks are there
a bank can accept it, and you can get a new one!
Good info
As long as you have 51% of the bill.
