Eli5: sincerely just out of curiosity, if a bank robber is caught after a dye pack explodes and the money is returned, what do they do with the money? Is it cleaned or do they throw it away?

Question

Edit: thank you for all your helpful responses! My curiosity is sated!

Answer 1

Long time back, a robber stole money from the bank with a die pack. He puts it down the front of his pants and runs out the store. At some point the die pack exploded and blew his nads off. He sued the bank and won. But lost too. Not sure if that story is an urban legend, but it was told repeatedly at my branch office.
