That last photo, at first glance, looks a bit like a DEA seizure shot.

I would consider cutting a square out of my lawn, of exactly the same dimensions of one of those blocks and replacing it with a block of shredded money, (most probably in my backyard). Interesting show 'n tell somewhere the barbeque.  |

How much did it cost to purchase the 7 blocks? Not a cent. Long story short., In my early years I worked in a paper mill. I was the receiver and I unloaded a tractor trailer load of this stuff (about 35K pounds). It was unusable because it was what we called "wet strength" (could not be reduced to pulp),hence could not be recycled. Have you ever noticed that you can put paper currency thru the wash over and over and never harm the bill? That's "wet strength". The entire load went to the local dump and was buried. I filled a box and took it home. This is all I have left of 50 or so bricks. I've had these for 30 years +/-. I know of people that have used it to make paper weights, pillows ect. ect. I think the only place in the US that produces paper for the US mint is in Massachusetts. |

do the pieces show enough printing to confirm they're $100 notes? or can you find other denominations mixed in?

All 100's.....I recall the bails being marked as to the denomination. So I saved what I could/wanted of the 100's.

Seeing money shredded up makes me sad.  It's kinda as if I'm seeing the cremated ashes of Benjamin Franklin.  |

That's going to take a lot of time and tape to turn those back into something useful!
