00:00Did you know it's illegal to destroy U.S. money, even if it's yours?

00:04Yep, that crisp $20 in your hand?

00:07You can spend it, save it, even frame it, but tear it up or burn it and you're breaking federal law.

00:12According to 18 U.S. Code Parf 333, mutilating, cutting, defacing, or destroying U.S. currency is a crime.

00:20Wait, what if it's an accident? Or for art? Good question.

00:23Intent matters. If you're doing it to make the money unusable, that's illegal.

00:27But artistic or educational uses? Usually okay, just not too extreme.

00:33Destroying money on purpose can lead to fines or even jail time.

00:36So maybe don't film yourself setting a $50 bill on fire for views.

00:40Spend it, save it, don't destroy it.
