Doesn't really belong on this newsgroup, but I'm just replying to your
message. You answered your own query...The Federal Government IS allowed to
destroy money...The people that make paperweights, etc. with shredded money
in them BUY it from the government. Obviously a company's not going to get
$10,000, shred it, put it in a paperweight and sell it for $10 or whatever.
They just buy it from the government. I guess they shred some (Ollie North's
job?), and burn some of the rest, I believe.
