My wife does upholstery and covers for boats. A friend asked her to reupholster a small Ottoman. So Anna is taking this ol thing apart and she hollars across the shop that the Ottoman has shredded money in it. So I get out of the boat I am working on to check it out. Sure enough, it’s stuffed with shredded money along with other type of stuffing. The Ottoman looks to be factory made original. Has anyone else come across this? ------------- I support the development of hybrid automobiles and alternative fuels as I need DIESEL fuel for my ALLIS CHALMERS! |

Non-shredded money isn`t worth the paper it`s printed on. ------------- Real heros wear dogtags, not capes. |

If you can match up the pieces and tape them, won't the Bank replace it. I certainly would be tempted if they were $100 dollar bills. |

my understanding is the serial numbers are recorded and a new bil is issued to replace it. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| Casinos have paper shredders on their machines. Put in money and it does not come back out. Must be a paper shredder. |

I'd wanna know the ottoman's history... I wouldn't be surprised if it was manufactured at a state or federal prison. Does the wood have any branding marks on it? What's the construction, and what fasteners were used in it? ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest. |

| I know this is years late but did your wife or you ever find out anything else about the shredded money? I just recently found an ottoman that appears to be fully stuffed with shredded money. This one is round though. I'm just trying to get any more information about this peculiar choice of stuffing. |
