Go to the bank and get four $100 bills. Using a xacto knife, cut out all of the serial numbers of the bills. Then, cut off 1/4 of each bill in the follow method:
* Cut 1/4 off the left hand side of the first bill.
* Cut a rectangle out of the next bill using these coordinates: Top: 1px, Height: 100%-2px, Left: 25%, Width: 25% ... where 1px is about 1/8 inch.
* Cut a rectangle out of the third bill using these coordinates: Top: 1px, Height: 100%-2px, Left: 50%, Width: 25%
You now have:
* One bill with the left quadrant cut off.
* One bill with a big rectangle cut out... but is still barely in tact.
* Another bill with a big rectangle cut out.
* Three 1/4 pieces that you tape together to create a 4th mutilated $100 bill.
Go to the bank, and retrieve your hard earned $400.
