Grüezi Swiss-Reddit,
I’ve encountered a very weird issue. I found ~240g of CHF which was defintely put through the ‘schrederer’.
I found this in dusted old boxes of a company i took over a while ago and found this while cleaning.
Any Ideas what to do with it? Due to the fact that it’s not a broken ‘Note’ but many destroyed one.
Thanks for helping! Pictures attached – fyi i have not opened it up.

Time to puzzle and bring each full bill to the bank they should exchange it for a intact one 😀
Are you positive those were real bills?
That’s funny. I never saw a post like this before today, but a few posts earlier: https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/s/UzaH3uvFpP
Isnt this some kind of thing you can buy? Like they are devalued and then shredded and sold again?
You don’t know if they are real banknotes or counterfeit ones, do you?

I think there was some software developed in Germany to match up pieces of shredded Stasi documents. Maybe it could help here?
Taking 30% of it as CHF20 notes into account it might be around 15k.

Before more people are commenting bullshit.
The requirements for exchanging banknotes are either:
* a whole bill, even when the serial number is illegible
* ONE piece that is bigger than 50% of a whole bill, needs a legible serial number
* TWO pieces that are together larger than 50% of a whole bill, the two pieces need to have legible serial numbers

If you have a company its not worth your time
Old bills are destroyed and then sold/gifted in packages like this. There is an official procedure for that. This is not worth than paper with pretty colors.
Are they maybe from the Expo?
You could try to complete them as art. Draw missing parts with the pencil.
did the former company owner have something to do with waste management or the SNB?
Thats a expensive puzzle game you got there, time to find some kids and put them to work
I don’t think these are still valid, why else would they be shredded? but i don’t actually have any clue.
Lol so funny 🙂
More than “why were CHF bills shredded” I would like to know why they are so nicely packaged in vacuumed bag after shredding?
Puzzles.
it’s called a _shredder_
Do you know it’s real or just specimens? Otherwise why would anyone want to shred it?

One banknote weighs about 1 gram. If they were all 10 CHF banknotes, it would be 2,400 CHF.
