Question: “My first stash of currency was stolen so I can’t redeem it, but I could be on [the US Treasury] list. I don’t want to pay taxes [on the stolen notes].” Don’t worry about that. You will pay taxes on the currency that you exchange. If you have a million dinars and it burned in the fire, you’re not responsible for it to turn it in. You have a million dinars and you bury it in your backyard and you just want to leave it there because that’s what you want to do, that’s your prerogative. It’s not until you exchange it that you have to pay Uncle Sam. Frank26
