1/2 of 10 bucks

I have a 1/2 a 10 bucks and I don't know what to do with it.
At first, I thought I'd just make it into a play money for my 2 girls then I thought I'd keep it for a little longer and see if the other half will come to me.
What should I do with it? Can I just take it to the bank to get the face value or is it worth 5 bucks now?
Please, any one reply.

Go take out a wad of 10s, and rip off a little bit of each ten to construct a good full 10, and then tape every other 10 you had to rip something out back together. They'll be a little smaller, but it'll pass.

I had 1/2 of a $20… and the Royal Bank of Canada gave me a full 20$ for it. Shocked the poop right out of me!

I had heard that the bank will give you $5 for it; based on a special bill measuring ruler or something. But, don't take my word for it… it's just what I heard.

I've heard you get paid by the serial numbers. both serial numbers full value..One serial number half…But I don't know for sure..Take it to the bank and find out for us…

Thats good to know I have a half of a five $ bill. I had no Idea what to do with it. Couldn't bring myself to throw it out. I'll try the Royal Bank here and see what they say.

right

I had half a bill a while back, and I was told by a local bank (BMO) that they can "only accept a bill with BOTH serial numbers".
