I would keep them all but the non star 1976 $2 and the 1985 $20. The silver certificates have a premium and the others are old enough to have a small premium now and will go up in the near future. John1  Edited by John1

If I'm not mistaken but isn't the $2 star a replacement note?

they all look like keepers to me, not sure about the $20.00 note but the rest I believe I would definitely keep if I could

thanks for the input everyone. I guess it doesn't hurt to just hold onto them.

I would not keep the regular $2 bill, but definitely keep the star note.

I am going to agree with the masses. I would not keep the 1985 $20 due to the condition. As for the 1976 $2 if you don't have one then I would keep it until a better one comes along. The rest I would keep.

Interesting thread!
I know that silver certificates are always worth a premium and that star notes are desirable to many collectors. It never occurred to me, however, to hold onto "regular" notes from the 1960s or 1970s. Maybe it's because silver certificates are from before my time and are therefore "old," whereas I was around in the late sixties and early seventies and therefore those notes just don't seem particularly exotic or valuable to me.
Does a Series 1975 five dollar note really have any value above and beyond face value? Or is it simply that it might someday?

Does a Series 1975 five dollar note really have any value above and beyond face value? Or is it simply that it might someday? Well, considering they didn't make Series 1975 $5 bills  If you meant 1974 or 1977, and the note is not in uncirculated condition, then no, little to no premium. Most save them just because they're older and every day that goes by, there are less and less of them. They might end up bringing a premium someday, but it's not guaranteed. I mean, 10 years from now, say somebody wants to build a Series set of $5 bills. They need a 1974, but don't want to pay $15 or whatever for an uncirculated one. They find somebody with a circulated one, and are willing to give $7 for it. In that case, the note brings a premium, but only that specific note at that specific time. There is no promise that it will sell for $7 if the new buyer decides to sell it, or that an identical note will bring the same price. Finding a buyer and an agreement on price is what brings the premium, and the market. Market is also important. Right now, not many people build Series sets of circulated $5 bills. Maybe the market will grow in the future. Nobody can really say with certainty. |

Yes, I meant 1974...
And from what you said, I don't think I'll be searching out and hoarding bills from the 70s right now.

 , folcan99! I'd keep the SC and *2. The others I'd keep until something better to buy came along. |

You pretty much answered your own question when you said you don't collect paper money. Thanks for the pics, though, we love that.

Thanks everyone for opinions. Since I'm not hurting for money right now, I guess it doesn't hurt to leave them in my drawer. lol. They are cool to look at so why not.
