Last week in Queens, New York, a couple made an unexpected discovery while magnet fishing in a local lake. James Cain and Barbie Agostini pulled out a safe containing an astonishing $100,000 in cash. The couple received clearance from the NYPD to keep the money, but there was a catch - the bills had suffered damage, potentially affecting their value.
During an interview, it was revealed that if at least 51% of a damaged bill is presented to the Treasury Department, they may issue a new one. The couple mentioned that they were in the process of dealing with the damaged bills and awaiting further instructions from the Treasury.
