Due to a recent announcement by United States GovernmentWalmart, Target and other chains have decided not to accept dollar bills that are in poor condition. This decision was made with the objective of improving security aspects in the handling of money and preventing counterfeits or the use of paper money in poor condition.

These are the dollar bills that are rejected in the United States
Between the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Secret Service, the Advanced Counterfeit Detection Steering Committee and the United States Government, they have made this decision to strengthen the measures of the monetary system and protect the integrity of the dollar.
Currently, the bills that are in issue and circulation are those with the values of: US$1, US$2, US$5, US$10, US$20, US$50 and US$100 dollars. But there are others with larger denominations such as US$500, US$1000 and US$10,000 that are no longer produced but are still accepted. In the schedule, the arrival of new designs is already planned: in 2028 there will be a new US$50 bill, in 2030 it will be the turn to renew the 20.
Between 2032 and 2035 the same will be done for the US$5 bill and between 2034 and 2038 there will be a new design for the US$100 bill.
