I beg your pardon ness-52....the sheet is genuine, the cutting is spurious.

There are some peculiar stains in the margins and the paper has clearly been folded in odd places.
Cut AND paste?

Just go to ebay and type in "false cutting error" in the coins and paper money catagory and you'll find similiar fake cutting errors for sale. Instead of using the French term "faux", Sellers now use the English words "false" or "fake". End result is the same. People buy them and they get sold down the road to unknowledgeable victims. The notes then end up on forums like this where we end up being the bearers of bad news.

Just like chemically altered seal colors and so many other scams. Anyway, genuine note(s), deliberately mis-cut.  to the Paper Money Forum!

Quote: Buddy...what are you referring to ? Assuming you can see the stains and creases, I suppose your question is about 'cut and paste'. Paper restorers can do a really neat job of fixing old paper buy pasting little pieces in to fix a tear or a missing piece. I thought perhaps someone just tried pasting old folded money together to create a sheet that could then be miscut.

I see the discoloration and folds. My guess is the "note" was folded and otherwise mishandled (imparting the discoloration) after cutting.

I sure hope you didn't pay anything for it. You don't even have a large enough portion of an individual note to turn it in as damaged currency and get a dollar.

Actually you do (have enough damaged to turn it in for a dollar) - you have four quarters, which will be redeemed by the BEP and equals $1. Below some percentage (which I don't remember) they give you proportional value.

 Thank you BStrauss3 for enlightening me. My recollection was they used to replace currency only if you produced than 50% of an individual note. Apparently they have changed the requirements.

Quote: My recollection was they used to replace currency only if you produced than 50% of an individual note. I believe that's true, but the 50% can comprise smaller pieces that add to over 50%. We once found some cash (several $20s) that had been run over with a lawn mower, so we gathered all the pieces we could find in the grass and exchanged them at the bank.

It is still 50% or more.
If less than 50% you have to provide evidence that the remainder was destroyed such as burning.
