I have damaged U.S. currency and need to know how to submit it for redemption. What form is required, where should I mail it, and what are the crucial packing instructions to ensure my submission is handled correctly?
Navigate to 'moneyfactory.gov' (BEP.gov). Go to the 'Services' section and then click on 'Mutilated Currency Redemption'. Click on 'How to Submit a Request for Mutilated Currency Examination' to find the required form and mailing address. Click on 'Mutilated Currency Packing Directions' to find the packing instructions. Synthesize the required form, mailing address, and at least three key packing directions.
State that BEP Form 5283 is required for submission. Provide the correct mailing address: Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Room 344A, 14th and C Streets, SW, Washington, DC 20228. Accurately describe at least three of the following packing instructions: do not disturb fragments, pack brittle currency in cotton, do not roll/fold/laminate/tape/glue flat currency, send container if applicable, remove coins/metal.
