I think 1999s are not worth keeping.

What condition is the 1995 $5 in?

Sidenote: found a 1963A $1 today from the bank, block A-C.
Rest in Peace

I bet it is much less than 10% of the population that collect those notes. Probably much less than 1%.


MUCH less. Look at Nationals with a handful known which still sell for cheap prices.

After some pressing, the 1995 looks GREAT.


Had a 1990 $20 with only a single light fold down the middle come through my drawer yesterday. No money to buy it, but it was cool to see.

SDcoinguy, the standard going price I've heard is $1.50 for a $1 certificate, with prices going up for $5, $10, $20 depending on their year and condition.


Got a bill in yesterday it hurt my heart to mark (I've mentioned the evil "magic pen" for counterfeit currency elsewhere on the forum). $100, 1977, and I'm about 99% sure it was uncirculated. The only mark on it was the single very, very light fold--not even a crease--where the lady handing it to me had put it in her billfold. Probably not worth anything but a hundred bucks, but still, it's the principle of the thing--it's 35 years old!!

Can someone please give me some estimate on these bills? I found through my piggy bank since I joined this forum. . The first one dollar bill has a ghost image of George Washington on the other side of the bill.

Received this one from the bank the other day. 1985. I don't know if it is worth anything but it was kind of cool see an old bill. It has probably been a couple of years since I have seen one.

The "ghost" one will easily be a $50-100 retail item, maybe more.

My friend had a 1985 $5 that he thought was fake until I told him it was just old. Should I have grabbed it?

the silver searcher I would have grabbed it because if your friend is not a paper money collector then he knows he has 5 dollars and will spend it. but if he is a paper money collector then he knows that it is an older bill and harder to come by. and for you it is not so much money laying around as it is only 5 dollars of course this only applies if he still has the bill and you can get it from him.

It depends upon the grade and branch. Most aren't worth saving, unless they are near CU. The I branch, only had 73.6 million printed.

Are either of these from a low printed run? And how can I find out any other star notes that are from a low run?
