We should be able to tear a $20 bill in half to use as $10

So we'd have $20 bills for about 5 years and then it's only half-20s. The drug market could singlehandedly accomplish this, then consider things like strip clubs. I like the idea of going back to metals, that way they can be melted down back into their original value after a while.

Cash is constantly recirculated by the treasury. It doesn't last that long in circulation.

Coin money history is going full circle for you?

In Canada that works. As long as it has the full barcode. I’ve done it before on a bet

I don't think you read the title properly

I think he did. In Canada, a 20$ bill torn in half can be used as a 10$ so long as it meets certain conditions. What doesn’t match the original post?

labrat420@reddit

Why wouldn't it still be worth $20?

[-]

PsychologicalBee1801@reddit

Both half’s are 10 each.

[-]

labrat420@reddit

That's not how it works

[-]

PsychologicalBee1801@reddit

I’ve literally done it. Goto a bank and they’ll confirm it’s not counterfeit. And give you the money

labrat420@reddit

If you have up to 50% of the bill you can get it replaced. The bank just ripped you off lol

[-]

PsychologicalBee1801@reddit

Not in Canada. If you have to 2 barcodes. To get full worth

[-]

labrat420@reddit

No you don't. Send it to bank of Canada and they'll redeem it

That will never work - If you tear a $20 apart, one half will obviously be worth $2 while the other side will be worth $0...

Well we do need some deflation in this country..

SteelWheel_8609@reddit

But on the bright side, you can just add that extra zero you have now to a $10 bill to make yourself a $100

My daughter did this when she was 5 to “make change”

Somenome_from_Heaven@reddit

or 1/20 but it's like that McDonald's coupon that you can rip easily

[-]

Ok_Cheesecake_9581@reddit

Don’t worry, pretty soon $20 will be worth $10 anyway.

[-]

ogredmenace@reddit

Or into 1/4 for a $5 and 1/20 for dollars.

Hope those cashiers are good at eyeballing measurements

gravity_kills@reddit

Just add perforations.

[-]

rasputin1@reddit

or just have a whole other bill that equals a quarter of a 20 maybe

[-]

Whitweldz@reddit

Would the bill remain the same size or would we have $20 bills the size of a sheet of paper? 🤔

[-]

gravity_kills@reddit

We already should have different sized bills to allow vision impaired folks to have an easier time telling the difference. If we switched ones over to coins, and maybe add a two dollar coin, then we have some room to play. Start with the $5 being half its current size and you land at the $20 being only twice its current size. $100 probably just needs to either go away or change shape, although it would be funny if we just had newspaper sized $100 bills.
