I Got A New $100. Post Yours!

So, now that they have been out for 2 weeks, what are peoples opinion of saving more than One?

Unless they are star notes, fancy numbers or consecutive numbers, will they be as common as any other $100 bill.

From what is on ebay, the stars bring the most. One person even had a pack of 100 with a BIN price 0f $12,000.

Opinions?

I have 5 consecutive put aside, but was wondering if they were worth saving, knowing how many are being printed. In the end, I'll probably keep two.

I have to admit I like the new polymer notes from Canada much more. The designs are nicer, the bill is more durable and it is easier to tell if its counterfeit. We should start making the switch to polymer and redesign the notes. I'd love to see things like the 1969 moon landing, Old Faithful in Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, etc on the back of the notes. Real Americana...not a bunch of buildings in DC.

Kinda surprised you have them this soon in Germany.

Without getting a map out, where are you located in relation to Landstuhl. Was stationed there 40+ years ago. Some of the best years of my life.

Hi mfhorn,
I have this bill from a German trader.
He told me that he bought a package in New York.
I was surprised that he got a Atlanta package in New York.
I paid $131 for a bill because I did not want to wait.
I live about 80 miles south of Landstuhl. My Town is called Ettlingen which is at the foot of the Black Forest.
Though I live in the south but I'm from Hamburg.
There are some Hamburg in the U.S. which are named after my city. It pleases me when Americans tell me that they had such a great time in Germany. I've heard something like this a few times.
Some U.S. soldiers remained after their service in Germany and have started families here.
Germany is not the USA however Germany is no total other world.
We have much in common.
An American friend from New York City which stay in Hamburg told me few Years ago that there are three cities where he can live well. These places were New York City, Hamburg and maybe Chicago. Anything else would be strange to him :-)
( Sorry for my bad English. )

The BEP does not always change the series year with each change of a particuler bill. The new 100 dollar bills were scheduled to be released in 2009 and those were dated 2009. All of them were ultimately destroyed and these new bills got a 2009 A series date. The feds have been doing this for ages.



That's not what I have heard, it is just the opposite since the quality control on these was much more strict than other printings of new currency.

maborshi, check your bills to see if you havwe any in the 05011941 to 05311941 range if so, then you have some birthyear notes which are quite collectible and have a decent premium themselves in addition to the premium for being star notes.

Here is one of my new two new star notes. The other serial number ends with 429.

hey theforce

What purpose does it serve putting an old date on the note? They clearly were not issued until this year.

unlike coins whose dates change with every year a bills series year will only change in the event of one of the following:

1. either the secretary or the treasurer name changes.
2. a new design is introduced.


hope this helps.
