Is a taped bill legal tender?

Yes. Or you can take both halves to the bank tomorrow and they’ll trade you for a good one.

Thanks!

Yes and that goes for Canada as well,but our bills now are made with a plastic like material that is supposed to be tear proof.

Yes, and you can tape a torn check too. I have ripped open envelopes with checks and torn them and just taped them together again and took them to the bank.

Yes, @SQUEEKY2 we have that too only we call them “debit cards” ;)

As long as you present more than 50% of the note to a bank (how much more I cannot say, and I also can’t vouch for every branch manager to be aware of this), then they should retire it and replace it. (I don’t know how retired currency is guarded and transported back to the disposal facility, because obviously once your 50%+ bill has been retired if it got back into circulation someone else could do the same thing.) So, yes, worn and damaged notes still have value until they are retired.

In Canada supposedly no, I was told not to accept any damaged currency as it is not legal tender anymore. Take it to a bank and they should take care of it though.

Yes, but you must be able to present pieces with both serial numbers. This prevents the redeeming institution from paying out twice.

@Espiritus_Corvus “Yes, but you must be able to present pieces with both serial numbers. This prevents the redeeming institution from paying out twice.”

So a little white-out, plus some handy work with a green magic marker, and I’m good to go.
