How can I detonate money?

It would not be wise to detonate your money. First, note that destroying money is a federal offense according to 18 USC 333. That statute specifically prohibits any act that “mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together” a bill, or actions which make the bill “unfit to be reissued.” Exploding your cash is definitely illegal, according to that outline.

Of course, if you don’t care about the law, or you’re looking for an extremely loud form of civil disobedience, there are options. Low-grade black gunpowder is available in many stores. Tannerite is subject to restrictions, but it can work, in a pinch. Contrary to popular myth, gasoline and kerosene flash, but they don’t explode very well. If you have access to military-grade explosives like Semtex or C-4...please, get everything uploaded to YouTube before you get arrested.

Hilarious as it might be to pick up a felony while wasting cash, there are better things to do with your spare funds. The best option, of course, would be to pass it along to a worthy cause. Like this one. Or, even this one. There’s a link at the end of this article to another good option. Patting yourself on the back for a donation feels better—and is much easier—if you haven’t blown off extremities, or been handcuffed by the feds.
