Where can I trade in my old paper currency ($100s) for fresh new bills?
The Federal Reserve distributes currency only to depository institutions and does not distribute currency directly to the general public. Contact your depository institution to exchange currency that is old or worn but not damaged or destroyed. Currency that is more than 50 percent damaged or mutilated should be forwarded to the Office of Currency Standards at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP). For further information on handling mutilated currency visit the “Mutilated Currency” section of the BEP’s Web site.
