Damaged Euro Note

[John Brown]

We've just had today's mail delivered and one of our Christmas cards was in a sealed plastic bag from La Poste. The envelope was torn badly.

Inside with the card is about half a ten euro note, corner to corner with 90% of the foil bit and the number in the bottom corner on the back.

Not sure what to do ?

I'd go to my local Banque de France, or maybe La Poste could help these days.

I think generally you need all of the damaged note in order to be able to claim a new one from the bank. Someone else could claim with the missing bit.

It's unwise to send cash in the mail anyway, but we all know this... don't we? [;-)]

Thanks Sid & Idun

I was thinking the same someone else claiming with their bit of the banknote

That's why I pointed out that my bit contains the silver strip and the serial number.

I'll try La Poste or Bank and show them the damaged envelope

Merry Christmas

Holy sh1t, I have just solved the recession!!!

If we all tear our money in half, then claim new notes from either half we will all double our money.

Its flawless. Who is going to try it first?

Or.... you could fold your notes in half, then half again then in half once more.

When you open the money out, you wil find it increases [geek]
