Old bills found in circulation! Post yours!

an old note and a star note. double cool.

^^^^Thanks guys.

Here's another find of mine, that came my way last Friday.

Series 1950A $10:

Cool note :) .. I think that note was printed in December 1978 from a run of 640,000, according to uspapermoney.info..

(I'm writing this mainly just to understand the concept of old star ranges..)

Got this one today. It is very crisp and I suspect didn't have any folds before the person who gave it to me got hold of it. It's from a time before the internal strip so I checked it with a magnifying glass before I took it.

I've been a cashier just over 3 years now, and I've seen (and kept) more than my share of old bills. Generally, I won't keep anything unless it's from series '88 or earlier; series '96 $1 bills hit circulation hard every time somebody discovers an old change jar and the economy takes another dive.

But, I've had some interesting finds over the years, including:


Series '35-E (Priest/Humphrey) $1 silver certificate. Used to buy groceries.


Series '63 $10 star note. Used to buy a scratch-off lotto ticket. Still crisp.

$280 in series '81-85 $20 bills, all lightly circulated. The customer said that it was her "rainy day" fund from college, but she realized it was worth about half as much as it was back then.

And of course, more than $400 in star notes (about 80 bills, mostly singles) and a nice collection of neat serial numbers, including a $20 bill with serial number 00000211.

And truth be told, I will probably end up spending most of that collection. Bills are expensive.

Finn235 there were no $1 dollar bills printed for series 1996.
