On the average, a dollar bill can be used about 8,000 times before it wears out. Banks will destroy notes deposited with them that are no longer in good condition. In general, the lower denomination notes are used more frequently, so last the shortest time. A $50 note, for example, is estimated to last 8.5 years.
