I'd say spend it if you need the money.

I don't really know anything about paper money, but I pulled a 1950 series D $10 out of the cashier drawer yesterday. Some fold marks and a smudge, but pretty good shape for 70 years old in circulation, IMO. Is it worth keeping?  |

Also, 1976 $2. Nothing real special, as far as I know, but nice and crisp still.

Got this from someone paying at work today. I'm sure it's not worth anything over $20 but I haven't seen on of these in quite some time so I grabbed it to hold on to for a little while and thought I would share it with you all.   Edit: Not sure why it looks so weird when being compressed down to fit the post but if you click on the images and check them out in full resolution they look fine and have much greater detail.

I had recently posted about this in the half dollar hunting thread. A couple weeks ago, a teller offered me a 1934A $500 note along with the halves she had. I didn't have the cash for both, so I only got the halves. Besides, I normally collect coins, not currency. I ended up with 10 40% and a 90%. Yesterday, I went back and got the note, and then had my dealer look at it. He offered $625, and I took it!  It had a small tear, or I would have gotten even more. The owner himself got a good look at it, and was pretty impressed, especially since I found it at a bank. BTW, Williamsonj320, I think the weird pattern is due to anti-copying patterns in the bill. Back then, people tried to make fakes on laser copiers, and they would often look like that. Edited by CPC24

I've found a BUNCH of 1985 bills lately--lots of $5 and a startling amount of $1, plus two $20 and a $10. All mid-80s series. I would worry that it was a collection except that most of them were buttstank nasty--I think it's more likely a roll someone's been holding onto. I'm more forgiving about bill damage than most of you guys and I wouldn't have touched a lot of these for collection purposes.
Also, several 1995. Does the Fed hold onto paper money as well as coinage? [hmm]

That makes sense I guess but if you click the image and see it in full resolution there is no distortion. So I think it just so happens that the compression caused the design to look weird.

It's dropping the resolution, and causing the moire patterns. Back then, copiers had a much lower resolution, so it would work. Now, the resolutions are so high, the Fed has resorted to other ways to foil counterfeiters.

It wasn't in the greatest of condition, and my wife wanted me to hurry up and sell it. The dealer is selling it for $650, so I did alright.
