P>Every year, the Mutilated Currency Division receives about 23,000 cases, people will send money that's been somehow damaged, and we reimburse, annually, about 40 million dollars. It's a free service the government provides that we pay dollar in dollar out. We require 51 percent of the note present to pay on it and that just protects us from paying twice on the same note. Once we determine the amount, we will send a treasury check for what we discover. The most challenging cases are usually cases that the money has gotten wet and sat for long periods of times, and it'll actually petrify and be solid as a brick. A lot of it is “the dog ate my money.” We get hundreds of those cases a year. A lot of people will hide their money in the oven and forget about it, or they'll get it wet and put it in the microwave and that will ignite the currency. Our most infamous case took place in the '80s, and what happened was a farmer lost his wallet in a field and discovered that his cow had eaten it, and we always encourage the submitter to send in the package as it is; and the farmer sent in the cow's stomach, which we were able to retrieve the wallet from and reimburse the farmer his currency. Our office consists of just under 20 people, and we have 12 people that examine and process the submissions, and they do roughly between 1,000 and 2,000 claims each year. We're called upon when a lot of people hit their low point, so any relief that you could provide someone after they lost all their money in a flood or after their house burned down is very rewarding. Hopefully we're a service that you will never need to use, but in case something does happen, we're here for you.
