It wouldn't have been the same book then. The fact that you are even asking the question shows how much you have engaged with the situation and are frustrated. They could have laundered money if they knew how but these characters live in the backwoods - they're nor sophisticated heist criminals or investment bankers :-)

They didn't have to launder (or burn) the money. They could just spend it. Even if the FBI agents didn't lie about marking the bills, why would they spend precious resources and manpower tracking those bills down now that both the kidnappers are dead? Tracking the bills would allow them to track down the kidnappers but would they do that for some random thief? Think about the enormous task of going all over the country to cross reference every hundred-dollar bill with the list? And those bills are not going to be spent just once. So just finding the bill is not enough. The FBI have got to trace the entire history of the bill's usage. And that's just assuming the bill is going to stay in the country. Hank and Sarah could have exchanged it for foreign currency in another country. They could exchange a few thousand dollars in France, then head to Germany in a few months and exchanged another few thousand, and so on. As long as they restrict the exchange to a few thousand dollars each time, it's not going to raise suspicions. Basically, it's going to be a fool's errand to track down the bills, and the only reason the FBI would even consider doing that is if the kidnappers/murderers are still alive and free.
