I have damaged U.S. currency and need to send it for redemption. What form do I need, where do I mail it, and what are the specific packing instructions for brittle, flat, or metal-mixed currency?
Navigate to 'moneyfactory.gov'. Click on 'Mutilated Currency Redemption'. Click on 'How to Submit a Request for Mutilated Currency Examination' to find the required form and mailing address. Go back to the 'Mutilated Currency Redemption' page. Click on 'Mutilated Currency Packing Directions' to find the packing instructions. Synthesize the required form, mailing address, and the specific packing instructions requested.
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 the packing instruction for brittle currency (pack carefully in cotton and box as found). Accurately describe the packing instruction for flat currency (do not roll, fold, laminate, tape, glue or alter). Accurately describe the packing instruction for currency mixed with metal (remove coin/metal, do not send in same package).
