Insurance/Recovery Tip:
Most of us found out the hard way that fire safes just don't help in a firestorm. Worse yet, many of the things we keep in there just usually aren't covered by insurance. Here are a few tips for replacing these items.
 
If you can find fragments of your currency (paper or coin) you can turn it in the Federal Government and they can replace it. Check out their website for details:
http://www.moneyfactory.gov/section.cfm/8/39
 
If you had stock certificates usually the corporation has their own procedures. For example here is the clause form the Time Warner website:
SECTION 4. Lost, Destroyed and Mutilated Certificates.
 
The holder of any certificate representing any shares of stock of the Corporation shall immediately notify the Corporation of any loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such certificate; the Corporation may issue to such holder a new certificate or certificates for shares, upon the surrender of the mutilated certificate or, in the case of loss, theft or destruction of the certificate, upon satisfactory proof of such loss, theft or destruction; the Board, or a committee designated thereby, or the transfer agents and registrars for the stock, may, in their discretion, require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such person's legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond in such sum and with such surety or sureties as they may direct to indemnify the Corporation and said transfer agents and registrars against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.
To replace lost savings bonds, follow the procedures outlined on the Federal Reserve's website:
