Money Replacement
Bills
Handle burned money as little as possible. Attempt to encase each bill or portion of a bill in plastic wrap for preservation. If money is only half burned or less (if half or more of the bill is intact), you can take the remainder to your local federal reserve bank for replacement.
Ask your personal bank for the nearest one or you can mail the burned or torn money via First Class Registered Mail to:
U.S. Treasury Department
Main Treasury Building, Room 1123
Washington, D.C. 20220
Coins
Mutilated or melted coins can be taken to the federal reserve bank or mailed via First Class Registered Mail to:
