🔥 PHASES OF THE FULL RECYCLING PROCESS

Phase 1 — Collection of Old Notes

• Banks, ATMs, and stores gather damaged or unfit dollar bills.
• These notes are sent to the Federal Reserve centers.

Phase 2 — Sorting & Detection

• High-speed machines check every note.
• Torn, faded, or ripped notes are separated for destruction.
• Good-quality notes are sent back into circulation.

Phase 3 — Security Verification

• Machines scan for authenticity, security threads, and watermarks.
• Only original Federal Reserve notes go to recycling.

Phase 4 — Shredding the Old Notes

• Industrial shredders turn old dollars into tiny pieces.
• Billions of dollars worth of old paper money is shredded every year.

Phase 5 — Compressing & Processing

• Shredded money is compressed into large blocks or bricks.
• Some shredded dollars are recycled into products like:
– gift items
– paperweights
– souvenir blocks
– energy fuel
– special recycled paper

Phase 6 — Final Disposal

• Some shredded blocks are sold as souvenirs.
• Others are safely disposed through eco-friendly processes.

Phase 7 — New Dollar Printing Begins

• After old money is destroyed, new dollars are printed at the Bureau of Engraving & Printing.
• Fresh sheets → security printing → serial numbers → cutting → packaging.
