What happenes when you burn money?

Answer 1

,

Yes, it is against federal law to burn or otherwise destroy money. The value of the dollar is dependent on how many dollars are in circulation: The more dollars in circulation, the less value each dollar has; the less dollars in circulation, the more value each dollar has. The national Bank of America, the FED, controls how many dollars are printed and occasionally adjusts the amount of dollars in circulation to correct economic problems.

The FED can combat economic problems like inflation and unemployment by printing additional dollars or by taking dollars out of circulation thereby affecting the dollar's value. When citizens destroy currency, they make it harder for the FED to asses how many dollars are in circulation and thereby inhibit the institution's ability to properly respond to economic changes.

It's not against the law to burn the American flag. The Supreme Court has ruled that the burning of the American flag is a constitutionally protected form of free speech.

Don't play with fire. Every year hundreds of Americans die or are injured as a result of accidental fires.

Answer 2

Burning money is illegal and considered destruction of currency. It is essentially destroying government property, which is a punishable offense. Additionally, it reduces the amount of money in circulation, which can have a negative impact on the economy.
