Russians told what to do with damaged banknotes

As for damaged banknotes, their acceptance is regulated by separate rules. Torn, heavily worn or glued banknotes may not be accepted as part of standard exchange transactions, but citizens have the right to hand them over to the bank for examination and subsequent exchange through the banking system , Rusyaev explained.

He noted that when handing over damaged banknotes to the bank, it is necessary to clarify the terms and conditions of replacement. The lawyer added that the financial institution is obliged to draw up a corresponding act that will confirm the fact of acceptance of banknotes.

In this case, the bank is obliged to draw up a corresponding act, and the client should clarify the terms and conditions of the replacement , Rusyaev summed up.

Earlier, Nikita Chaplin, a member of the State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes from the United Russia party, said that dollar bills have no expiration date. According to him, in this regard, Russian banks cannot refuse citizens to accept old-style dollars if the banknotes themselves are genuine and in satisfactory condition.
