Note at the end of the article, the money needs to be examined by an "experienced mutilated currency examiner". The word 'experienced' already indicates someone who is not inexpensive, and then note that this process can take up to two years... Assuming an hourly cost of between $70 and $100 for the examiner, would it not just be cheaper to check that the 'remains' are not forgeries and then pay the guy his $500. Instead we taxpayers will get hit with a bill of $50,000 to $300,000 depending on the salary and the amount of time he actually spends on this job over the two years. Even at the low end it is still significantly more than the original $500!
