Communication with the Bank of America

So I've sent various emails to a variety of countries politely requesting shredded money. I'm not in the least surprised that when I contacted America to request shredded this was the response...

How ironic that I have to pay money to buy out of use, somewhat worthless money. How does this make sense?!

A country which is very much thought to be money orientated is asking me for a fee in order to get their out of use cash. For simply taking it out of their hands has turned into a business. Yet, the Bank of England hasn't asked for a thing other than my address. Such different outcomes for two very different societies.

Maybe the Bank of England are missing a trick here... there could be a big business in selling shredded money which is probably why they made me promise not to sell any artwork I create. This makes my rebellious side want to make something aesthetically pleasing to sell and see what happens!
