Last night i moved my dresser to unplug a fan from behind it. Evidently my wallet fell off of it and fell under my bed. My dog got a hold of it and ate my debit card and a twenty-dollar bill (he didn't go for any of the ones or fives only the 20 >.>) anyways was just wondering if there was any way to trade it screwed up money for new bills. I know its a stupid question but wanted to know thanks.

NOTE:it is a rather large portion of the bill missing (about 1/3 of it)

you don't need to, to be used as money all you need is more than half.

I believe you just need 2/3 of it in order to exchange it, so you're good. I dont think you can use it to pay for anything anymore though, since most businesses wont be crazy about getting a chewed up $20 bill.

This reminds of the time a few years back when I was mowing the lawn and ran over my sister's $20 bill that was in the yard for some reason. It was quite funny watching her spend the next several hours putting it back together and taping it up. They werent big pieces either, there was well over a hundred pieces that she had to work with.
