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.
