My Shredded banknotes


( 1000 Pesos Shredded Bills )


( 500 Pesos Shredded Bills )

What you see is real this are not play money. I got my shredded bill from Rex Dianala.He is from Iloilo Philippines.According to him he got these banknotes for free, already shredded. Sometimes, the Bangko Sentral gives away shredded money when they have exhibits around the country. Of course they don't shred them just for that! The Central Bank regularly shreds worn-out and defective paper bills so they may be replaced with fresh notes. When they misspelled the president's name as "Arrovo" instead of "Arroyo", they were forced to shred millions of 100 peso bills.


( 100 Pesos Shredded Bills )

In the United States, their federal reserve shreds so much of their banknotes (7000 tons annually!) they are having a problem of where to place them all. They've used the shreds as stuffing for mattresses but the dirty bills were just too smelly and causes rashes. They plan to use the shreds to make materials for roofing and for walls . They even plan to build entire buildings with it. Some prefer to make money stationery.

20 Pesos Bill ( Dated 2008 A )

I found this 20 Pesos bill when my classmate pay his Debt. Accidentally I Found out that this 20 Pesos was dated " 2008 A ".An Anonymous commented in this post that the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) simply ran out of serial numbers for the standard 2008 notes (702 million, if you count single letter serial numbers), so to avoid duplicate serials, the "A" was added to the 702,000,001th note onwards.
