Where can exchange ripped 20 euro note?
Hello. My daugher ripped off a part of the 20 euro note. Where can I get it exchanged?
Leen, thank you for your question. If the banknote proves to be a real, any bank in Euro zone should exchange it free of charge. Keep in mind, that even burnt banknotes can be exchanged to the new ones as long as they can be proven to be genuine banknotes. There should be no problem in your case.
Cash experts, in performing a cash acceptability evaluation, establish whether damaged money can be reimbursed.
Our experts evaluate cash that has been damaged in a variety of ways (burnt, mouldy, torn, decayed, rotten, etc.) to establish whether the value of cash submitted for evaluation can be reimbursed.
In evaluating money, experts use all sorts of different tools: needles, tweezers, water baths, paper filters, ultraviolet or infra-red lighting.
Bring the damaged banknotes to any central bank in Euro zone cash offices and present it to the employees of the bank. They will let you know whether you will need to fill out a request form and conduct evaluation, or perhaps they will exchange the banknote right away. Also you can try to exchange in any commercial bank, but there could be some fee. Good luck!
