I was always told if you have AT LEAST half of a bill and it obvious what it is; the bank will replace it with a full one and they will take the half piece out of circulation. This is what they do here, of course, the highest I have ever taken in was a $20. My mom worked at a bank in another state & they also would "buy" the half bill for the full amount & take the piece back. Good luck, worth a try!

A more-specific answer ...

The Treasury requires that as much as 2/3 of the bill must be intact and at least one serial number must be visible in full, although exceptions can be made for unusual damage due to natural causes such as mildew or rodents.
