Why would you buy a bag of trash?

Maybe to throw a money-themed 16 birthday party.

Sort of highlights the lack of value in the dollar. Obviously it's from the treasury, and they can decide how to distribute money so it doesn't lose value, but this somehow still feels like waste, money that could go to other causes, like homeless shelters or road repairs

I think you're misunderstanding. TYou're confusing 'money' (in having a value determined by treasury) with 'shredded bills' (which has no value, and had no value)

These bills have been decommissioned, they literally can't be spent, even intact.

[-Nurot]

I'll get the scotch tape.

That was my first thought seeing as how you only need 75% of a bill intact to bring it to a bank. Even if that's not the case then you at least need to have 50% (or even all the pieces in this case) and you can always turn it in to-

They will judge if it's real and if so they will allow redemption.

Unfortunately this poor bag of money upon inspection .... is not real money-

These notes were removed from the manufacturing process prior to delivery to the Federal Reserve System and have not been monetized.

So, wouldn't that just mean your paying $45 for complete rubbish then? If they have no value, then your not really buying a bag of shredded money, just a 5ibs bag of rubbish.

The money in your wallet is just paper. It has no value beyond the value you put in it based on pure trust. It's a physical representation of a concept, nothing more. Whether that include circulated or not, a dot missing from Franklin's pupil, or such... that's totally up to you.

Even if it was money that had been in a bank and used to transfer goods, you're still buying a 5 lb bag of shredded paper and thus, still rubbish either way.

Naw, it's closer to cloth.

[Faroth]

Naw, it's closer to cloth.

Technically you are correct. The best kind of correct.

[Trassk]

Naw, it's closer to cloth.

its also closer to bacon.

[Kujako]

its also closer to bacon.

Where do you get your bacon if you think that's true!?

[Damajin]

No thanks, I have a cat who still has her claws and sure loves to use them.

[Glnger]

Is this what Trump was talking about when he claimed to have "$billions"?

Naw, these are cheaper and more his speed.

It contains animal fat, bacon contains fat, thus it's closer to bacon then paper

the shredded money ( afaik ) has also been washed in some chemical which can show up should anyone have the patience of a Tibetian Monk and put a single note together,
