Partial of a $10 New Zealand Note?

Question

I have a partial(as in only the corner) of a New Zealand $10 note, and i was wondering whether it was usable?

It has 1 full serial number and the anti-counterfeit clear window.

Would that be enough for it to be used/ can i even still use it?

Thanks

Answer 1

By rights, it should work, although i once had a $5 note that only had one full serial number and McDonalds would not accept it.

Answer 2

No.

It is not legal tender and anyone who honours it will lose out.

You can take it to a bank to pass on to the Reserve bank, and they will consider (only consider, mind) replacing it for you.

You must present the RBNZ with at least one serial number.

Answer 3

It has to have both serial numbers otherwise people could tear them in half and get $20 out of one note.

Answer 4

To be on the safe side just take it to your nearest bank. I doubt if any retailer would accept it.
