The paper reported this morning that a Golden Retriever belonging to a man in Montana ate five $100 bills. The man salvaged the pieces of the bills, washed them, taped them back together and sent them to the Treasury Department in hopes they would be replaced. |

Here in UK, as long as you can save the number on the note, the Bank of England will refund the value. Er... just one question...from which end of the dog did the chap retrieve the money?! |

The Catch-22 is that the Treasurey reports that it normally takes 6 months to 2 years (their rough estimate) to get it done. John |
