> The Federal Reserve has a department of people who reassemble damaged cash so the rightful owners can be reimbursed, usually after a fire, but they have also done this with money that had been buried or ruined in a flood. One wonders if they’ve ever had to deal with something like…this…before. (Probably.)

A few years ago I read an article about the division of the Treasury that replaces mutilated currency. And yes, they have had to deal with this dog-digested cash before. Probably on many, many occasions, knowing the nature of dogs.
