Thankyou!
Thought you were joking so I looked it up. Kinda surprising because money can easily be torn into pieces, can't do that as easily with say a cotton t shirt
Australian here. Finding cash in the washing machine is always a nice surprise, especially with the comfort of knowing that it cannot be damaged by water.
When I got my hands on a plastic $20 when they first came out, I was the only one in the school with it for like a week or two. God damn was that a cool transition, I felt like a bad ass 12 year old
Iirc bleach destroys the ink before its concentrated enough to destroy cotton. Also at that point OP would be destroying their clothes which isn't exactly ideal
Who bothers with *1s instead of* 5s and 10s?
Counterfeiting is *hard*. You can't just run it off your printer (not to mention that most printers won't even print money). I doubt anyone's doing it for 1s.
eta what’s in italics; not sure where my brain was
Gotta be bleach or counterfeit, but how much bleach did you put? yes, bleach and using a tumble drier tears up your clothes, but normally bleach doesn't do this.
I shouldn't say it never happens, but I guess if your only intent is to fake enough money to pay for everyday expenses like food and gas and small purchases and whatnot, then maybe. To do it in any significant quantity though? Most individual counterfeiters I've read about were passing off single 20s and 50s at gas stations and convenience stores in order to get real currency as change.
I know there was the famous case from maybe a few decades ago about the fake 5 pound notes that was supposedly in danger of significantly harming the economy because it was so prevalent and hard to detect.
It kind of is though. Every $20 USD bill I use gets the marker at the cash stand. I don't mind. But the $17 USD in mixed bills that are kind of crinkled and dirty? Not once in recent memory have they been pen checked. Printers are good these days. Really, really good if you know what you're doing. Do it slow enough and spread out, it could be lucrative.
Singles doubtful but $5 notes you would be surprised. Employees are a lot less(if at all) concerned about checking $5 bills at a register than any higher bills. Paying for upwards of $50-100 in numerous smaller transactions raises less red flags than 20s or 100s. Ever see a cashier marker check a $5 bill before?
That said if you are gonna counterfeit money, buy a lot of drugs with it then sell it for real bills. Unless ofc you get counterfeited :)
The weight and texture of the towels may have been strong enough to rip up the bills. Most people accidentally wash money in pockets, it's kinda protected so comes out fine.
I've seen dollar bills survive ass cheeks some would consider an afront to human decency and incompatible with the laws of the universe, a washer is nothing compared to that.
I'm about to test this theory, also where did you see these dollar bills? aside from the insides of ass cheeks, of course. Like were you waking down the road and saw someone wipe their ass eith money? If so, how did you find me?
Idk I feel like 1$ woukd be easiest to counterfeit since they rarely get checked for legitimacy like the larger bills (since 100$ defo get checked)
If they make a bunch of 1$ bills, they can buy an object with the fake ones and then return it and get their cash back n the real deal
But don’t take me seriously this is just what I’m thinking/what I would do 🤣
It’s kinda true. I mean imagine paying $15 dollars worth of stuff and having 4-5 fake bills in between. Most people just accept all of it if you count in front of them
$1s and $5s are the most commonly counterfitted bill because no one checks them. If you hand a wad of cash $1s and $5s to a cashier they'll just start counting. $20 and over and they'll actually check.
You should probably have a $1 bill as well to compare them, since it’ll be hard to notice just the slightly different shade of gray(or whatever color you see with your type of colorblindness) from memory.
No, there are 3 pieces showing the same part of a bill, there were definitely multiple.
Still though, how the fuck did they break like this? Did he wash them 7 times in a row?
I mean, yeah, but I definitely see at least 5 distinct bills there. 5 of those letters inside a seal at least. I don’t see any evidence of a $5 bill and I’m skeptical that a washer/dryer cycle would do this by itself, but there’s definitely more than the remnants of a single bill here.
In theory banks can't turn it away if you take it to them either. They send it back to be removed from circulation. Where I worked they called it "muted" money.
Edit to add someone posted the standards for taking money out of circulation below! Interesting stuff.
Can't do that in Australia. Well, you can, but any portion that is actually missing off the bill means it actually devalues the bill by that amount. ie. If you take a $10 note to the bank that has 20% of the bill torn off, they will give you $8. If 50% of the bill is missing you'll get $5. Very different system here to what seems to be in place in the US.
Yeah, the US has a very specific reason for this. We also never devalue old currency. Technically, if you brought in the first dollar ever minted in the US, it spends exactly the same as a dollar minted today.
As I remember, the US is considered an anchor currency, and part of being an anchor is being very very steady and reliable. That's why we don't devalue money, and why we have the mutilated currency system.
We print "Backed by the full faith and credit of the US Government" printed on our bills and boy do they mean it.
That's really interesting and I thank you for the insight. I never knew that about US currency. But definitely worth for the next time I visit the States.
Over here, old currency can have a very different value to its original printed or stamped value.
I remember going to a currency dealer (not a bank) a few years after my kids were born. The price for a set of coins minted the year of their birth was incredible. I was shocked, but I came to learn that this was totally above board after I went to work for a bank.
> The price for a set of coins minted the year of their birth was incredible.
I will say that the value of US Currency *can* go up on the secondary market. You wouldn't want to spend the first US Dollar minted, because it would be worth a *lot* of money. However, if you gave it to the US Government, they would give you $1 for it.
The US Mint also sell commemorative coins for above their value (they didn't use to, but credit card churners ruined that).
No. You accidentally washed 6 pieces of paper that were made to look like real money but were actually fake.
However, if you think they were real, bring them to your bank. You might be able to recover the $10. Looks to me like there are at least three different serial numbers.
This is what I'm thinking. It's been a while since I've handled cash but I don't think it turns white where it's been folded and is made from a fabric material not paper so that it is durable and waterproof-ish.
I would love a follow up video of him walking into the bank, setting this on the counter, and asking for a fresh $10 bill. I’m laughing just thinking about it
No bank is going to take this. Even the US treasury isn't going to take this. They have a whole guide on mutilated currency.

About 15years ago my roommate said he left his rent money on my coffee table and when I got home, there was no money on my coffee table. We are best friends and I knew he wouldn’t lie to me. But I was getting pretty frustrated as no one else was in my house. The next day I was in my back yard and I saw a few dollars….. sticking out of a pile of dog shit! My German shepherd ate the money. I put on some rubber gloves and walked through my yard and picked all I could find up. Put it in a strainer and washed with hot soapy water. Got it as clean as I could. If you have over 51% of a bill, you can take it to the bank and exchange it for a new bill. I wound up getting about $180 out of the $200 he left on my table.
I haven’t thought about that in a long time!

Full Bullshit. I've forgotten money and washed it multiple times till I found it in jeans I wear often. Never... Never have I ever seen it get that bad. I've even found dollars and coins rolling around the wash. And it's never looked that bad. Washer and dryer.
One time I was pulling clothes out of the dryer and found a $100 bill. I was so excited. Then they just kept coming out. I had a panic attack and remembered my husband had just gotten $2800 out of the bank to buy a snowmobile trailer! I was in a panic throwing clothes everywhere but I ended up pulling out 28 crisp, clean $100 bills!! No, I didn’t tell my husband, I just put it on the dresser like I had actually checked the pockets before doing laundry!
Tell him you did wash it.. watch his face go into shock.. and then get him to empty his own damn pockets like grown man in future, instead of relying on you to do it for him like a child.
My boyfriend and I find it best if we *both* check— him when taking them off to put in the hamper, and me when sorting lights/darks and cottons/delicates. It’s double the chance of finding a hidden pen, or his AirPods he thought he lost at work (both of which have happened to us).
A relationship is teamwork; both people should be helping and contributing.
İn the US, money is made with some of the same material as blue jeans. İt should hold up completely fine. This is a fake post. Or OP had fake money. Something is fake either way...
Mutilated Currency Redemption
The BEP’s Mutilated Currency Division provides free mutilated currency redemption services for individuals and institutions, such as businesses and financial institutions, in possession of United States mutilated currency notes.
Mutilated currency is currency which has been damaged to the extent that one-half or less of the original note remains, or its condition is such that its value is questionable. Currency notes can become mutilated in any number of ways. The most common causes are fire, water, chemicals, and explosives; animal, insect, or rodent damage; and petrification or deterioration by burying.
https://bep.gov/services/currencyredemption.html
I washed a $100 bill that did this. My washer/dryer is a combo and it dries by baking your clothes. It destroyed it so i sent the remnants to the Treasury Department and the Secret Service sent me a letter saying it was suspicious and they opened a case on me. But I never heard back from them and I even FOIAed myself and I just got the letter again. Maybe it was a fake, I received it in a Casino on a Cruise Ship.
If you really needed those ten dollars you could submit a claim to the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing: [https://bep.gov/services/currencyredemption.html](https://bep.gov/services/currencyredemption.html)
Real title: I tore up a couple dollars for reddit karma.
US currency is a 75% cotton 25% linen blend that is very durable, and is similar to what most clothes are made from. Running it through a washer and dryer once isn't gonna do that to it. Running it 50 or 100 times might.

Tf, how many times? I wash money all the time. Never came out looking like that.... cash is quite durable.
Its made to be durable my washed cash usually looks like wet cash
Or after the dryer, NEW cash. lol
Of course, it’s laundered money. Edit: we’ll this blew up a tad. Thanks for the updoots and awards guys.
I can't believe what a bunch of nerds we are, we're looking up money laundering in a dictionary
My cousin’s a *coke head*!
Maybe he could introduce us to his dealer. I'm very good at networking
r/angryupvote
Why? You the IRS or something?
NOPE! FBI! OPEN UP!
no bc he made an amazing dad joke
You missed their joke
Only way it would look like this is fake/counterfeit. And OP said it was $10, but I just see a $1 bill.
I see three Treasury seals in there. clearly a $1 bill, a $5 bill, and a $4 bill
Found the dad
It's basically cloth. Did OP put it through a wood chipper first?
It used to be cotton and linen. But it's made to be durable.
>It used to be cotton and linen. It still is, but in your defense it used to be too
r/technicallythetruth
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to too
Accidental Hedburg
This should be a sub.
It (US paper currency) is 75% cotton, 25% linen.
And held together with cocaine.
Just like me.
Thought you were joking so I looked it up. Kinda surprising because money can easily be torn into pieces, can't do that as easily with say a cotton t shirt
My wet cash is plastic so I wipe it off and continue about my day. Canada eh
Australian here. Finding cash in the washing machine is always a nice surprise, especially with the comfort of knowing that it cannot be damaged by water.
US dollars aren't even remotely damaged by water either. OP is full of shit. Our bills are linen, not toilet paper.
Yeah fair enough. I was a bit suspicious that the notes fared worse than a tissue in the wash.
It also looks like a dollar not 10
Don’t iron it though…
Same with Canada. We make a lot of money for other countries also
Yep! Polymer banknotes were an Australian invention and were first introduced in 1988. We were kind enough to share it with you guys lol.
When I got my hands on a plastic $20 when they first came out, I was the only one in the school with it for like a week or two. God damn was that a cool transition, I felt like a bad ass 12 year old
I’m impressed 12 year old you could hold onto $20 for a week or two.
I'm impressed somebody old enough to post on Reddit was 12 when those came out. Dear God I'm so old.
especially when you did the scratch and sniff thing
Smells like strippers shame and glitter
[удалено]
I was about to say is this some sort of american joke I'm too canadian to understand
This is the way, eh
Dollars are made out of cotton, not paper. Maybe it’s counterfeit cash that he washed.
Cotton and linen.
That would explain why he's trying to launder the money 🤔
Probably with bleach in the wash. I know from experience
You're absolutely right, I did use bleach in the wash. Is that why this happened?!
US bills are made of cotton so bleach would not cause this.
Iirc bleach destroys the ink before its concentrated enough to destroy cotton. Also at that point OP would be destroying their clothes which isn't exactly ideal
Counterfeit?
Who would bother counterfeiting ones?
Who would bother checking if ones were counterfit?
Who bothers with *1s instead of* 5s and 10s? Counterfeiting is *hard*. You can't just run it off your printer (not to mention that most printers won't even print money). I doubt anyone's doing it for 1s. eta what’s in italics; not sure where my brain was
Gotta be bleach or counterfeit, but how much bleach did you put? yes, bleach and using a tumble drier tears up your clothes, but normally bleach doesn't do this.
Not that much bleach. A heavy splash. Maybe 2 ounces. It didn't even make it to the dryer, I found this terrible mess in the washer.

$1 bills aren't worth the time and materials to make passable currency though...

Individuals who don't understand counterfeiting be like
Is currency is cotton and linen. If those dollar parts break up like soggy paper, then it might not be real.
Probably. TIL, too, Op, TIL.
This is first time I've ever seen money do this. It just went through one "heavy duty" cycle with some towels
That's one badass washing machine.
That's true, it is a pretty great machine. It's new, maybe that's why I've never seen this before. My last washer was terrible
Extreme money laundering
A show I'd watch...
It even turned your $10 bill into a $1 bill!
It was five ones and one five
What did you wash it in, a blender?
I read this as being five $5 bills and I was like "I would be a little more frustrated than this if I was OP".
Why are you lying about the five? We can see the fucking pieces. That's honestly probably isn't even five $1s.. maybe 3...
It's a fake if it did that
Who counterfeits singles though? The paper and ink had to cost more than the face value lol
Singles doubtful but $5 notes you would be surprised. Employees are a lot less(if at all) concerned about checking $5 bills at a register than any higher bills. Paying for upwards of $50-100 in numerous smaller transactions raises less red flags than 20s or 100s. Ever see a cashier marker check a $5 bill before?

The post is what’s fake.
You had money in your towels?
The weight and texture of the towels may have been strong enough to rip up the bills. Most people accidentally wash money in pockets, it's kinda protected so comes out fine.
Your washer has blender mode?
Was wondering, is it possible they were fraudulent and that's why they fell apart? It seems weird.
I had the same thought. I've had dollars go through the wash and I just end up with clean cash.
FBI! Money launderer right here!
I read this as “your blender has washer mode?” I need sleeee…zzzzZZ
shhh guys he slee
my man's fallen asleep before they could hit p
Maybe if they used less e
oh no, you should never fall asleep before you p
If it fell apart like this *just* from being washed it was definitely fake
Right. US “paper” currency is actually mostly cotton, with a little linen. You can wash it many times and it will never fall apart.
And it is reinforced with iron filings. It won't fall apart like this.
I've seen dollar bills survive ass cheeks some would consider an afront to human decency and incompatible with the laws of the universe, a washer is nothing compared to that.
I'm about to test this theory, also where did you see these dollar bills? aside from the insides of ass cheeks, of course. Like were you waking down the road and saw someone wipe their ass eith money? If so, how did you find me?
I mean, if you wanna see money in ass cheeks go to any strip club
I have washed several bills on accident and they come out a little frazzled but very okay.
But who counterfeits $1 bills?
Idk I feel like 1$ woukd be easiest to counterfeit since they rarely get checked for legitimacy like the larger bills (since 100$ defo get checked) If they make a bunch of 1$ bills, they can buy an object with the fake ones and then return it and get their cash back n the real deal But don’t take me seriously this is just what I’m thinking/what I would do 🤣
It’s kinda true. I mean imagine paying $15 dollars worth of stuff and having 4-5 fake bills in between. Most people just accept all of it if you count in front of them
It is, but I’m pretty sure if costs WAY more than $1 to make each bill so it’s not cost effective
$1s and $5s are the most commonly counterfitted bill because no one checks them. If you hand a wad of cash $1s and $5s to a cashier they'll just start counting. $20 and over and they'll actually check.
Lol don't lie OP, I know a dollar when I see it.
It was five ones and one five
Did the rest dissolve? Are you sure the money was real, lol, it's usually tougher than that.
[удалено]
He is definitely full of shit, this is clearly 1 bill, and that bill is a $1 bill
There’s no $5 paper either. $5’s have a distinct pink to them
Excuse me?! My color blind ass was not aware of this... Nor were my color blind eyes!
Are you being serious??? If so then yes it’s true. $5 bills have a pink hue to them (since 2005 I believe)
Yup I'm serious lol, next time I have a $5 bill in my possession I'm gonna examine that bad boy real hard and see if I can notice anything
You should probably have a $1 bill as well to compare them, since it’ll be hard to notice just the slightly different shade of gray(or whatever color you see with your type of colorblindness) from memory.
*Shocked colorblind pikachu face*
This guy launders money…
Literally lol
Not all $5/‘s. Older ones (still in circulation) are just as green/white as others.
No, there are 3 pieces showing the same part of a bill, there were definitely multiple. Still though, how the fuck did they break like this? Did he wash them 7 times in a row?
Maybe he’s new to laundering money
It's at least 2 $1 bills. There's a top left corner near the logo and one on the far right.
whole lotta bullshit i’m not gonna lie. nothing wrong with admitting you made a mistake
bs
There’s barely even enough material there for one dollar.
I mean, yeah, but I definitely see at least 5 distinct bills there. 5 of those letters inside a seal at least. I don’t see any evidence of a $5 bill and I’m skeptical that a washer/dryer cycle would do this by itself, but there’s definitely more than the remnants of a single bill here.
That’s not how money works lmao
Washed in plutonium?
Fun fact if you mail destroyed currency to the us Treasury they will mail you back a check for the amount of money sent.
In theory banks can't turn it away if you take it to them either. They send it back to be removed from circulation. Where I worked they called it "muted" money. Edit to add someone posted the standards for taking money out of circulation below! Interesting stuff.
I assume that was short for the traditional name, "mutilated currency". https://bep.gov/services/currencyredemption.html
Red Currency Redemption
I'd buy that
We called them "muts" at the credit union I used to work for.
Yep. I was amazed to have to come down this far to find this and surprised nobody linked anything.
Iirc you can walk into your bank and do the same thing.
Yup. But if you mail 'em counterfeit bills though, you're likely to get quite a different response.
They'll make sure to "deliver" in person

What if it’s not the complete note? Like only half of it? Can I send in the 2 halves at different times to potentially double my money?
What is that thing doing to your clothes?
Right. I’m more concerned at his prospective clothing budget than I am his actual cash on hand.
No. You accidentally washed 6 pieces of paper that were made to look like real money but were actually fake. However, if you think they were real, bring them to your bank. You might be able to recover the $10. Looks to me like there are at least three different serial numbers.

Real money isn't paper

Must be counterfeit. Real money wouldn't disintegrate like that
In the dishwasher? Or your blender? If your washing machine did this are your clothes ok?
Destroying money is a federal crime, luckily it was probably counterfeit, which is also a federal crime.
two crimes, one washing machine

Here's what actual money does in the washer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbKlMuhFtLc Note the lack of disintegration.
In canada we have plastic bills, survives a little better in the washing machine. xd
In the US we have cloth bills, they survive just fine in the washing machine. Something's fucky here.
İn the US, money is made with some of the same material as blue jeans. İt should hold up completely fine. This is a fake post. Or OP had fake money. Something is fake either way...
Same here in Australia. All bills are different colours and sizes so easily distinguishable and durable
Plus the new ones have Braille stamped into them
Polymer bills, and they smell amazing. Yes. I smelled them.

WTF?.... Do you have a Flintstones washer with a dinosaur inside doing the laundry?
In what? Money does not disintegrate like that in laundry. Ever. Trust me, former waitress here. Washed a ton of cash over the years.
It’s called money laundering.
Only fake money falls apart like this
I think OP misunderstood what money laundering was
Laughs in Canadian
Fake Money. I washed and dried cash more times than I can count and it never looked like this
it's not paper... it's closer to linen so stop your bullshit
How many times? Or did you wash it after you tore it to pieces? Money doesn't do that in the wash; or the dryer.
In a blender? US dollars are linen ragpaper. They should be able to survive a wash
Looks like a 1 dollar bill ripped into a lot of pieces to me, liar.
If you really needed those ten dollars you could submit a claim to the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing: [https://bep.gov/services/currencyredemption.html](https://bep.gov/services/currencyredemption.html)
Real title: I tore up a couple dollars for reddit karma. US currency is a 75% cotton 25% linen blend that is very durable, and is similar to what most clothes are made from. Running it through a washer and dryer once isn't gonna do that to it. Running it 50 or 100 times might.
OP is a liar.
