    Now that's recycling. In Canada, the money is just burned by the government.

    Britbanana7 this is currency,not money. If you don't know the difference its your problem. This is what happens to all paper ASSETS. They return to their intrinsic value.

    Thats whats up... I dunno if I could find a bank in NC that'd be willing to do something like that without it hugely benefitting themselves.
