I've gotten a few small face, but they've all been 1995--not unexpected when you handle large sums of money.

I DID find a 1988 the other day, though! $1. Shocked the life out of me! (Also, one with a fun serial number--all in trinary.)

I don't really pay that much attention to paper money, but these are the oldest I've found recently

$1 1963
$2 1976 (I never get these in change...)
$5 1977
$10 1950a, 1963
$20 1985a
$50- all colorized

Out of curiosity, should I pull out the small portrait notes?

Got a 1988 $100 the other day at work but it was pretty beat up so I added it to the deposit. Plus I don't have an extra $100 laying around lol.

While not technically found in circulation (my mom found them in a book she purchased for 50 cents at her local Goodwill) they would probably fit best in this thread. The top one is no big deal, but the star, according to info I found, is not too common. Other than an old fold down the middle it's in pretty good shape! The third bill down is from circulation, and I almost spent it! You don't see too many 1963's floating around anymore. The bottom one is an interesting number. Worth keeping? Probably not, but still interesting.

Found a 1988 today that's clearly been in circulation since printing. Whew, looking at George made me feel good about my own complexion!

Copper, that $2 star note has a fairly low serial number too. That's cool!

Coffee barista handed this one back to me, nice to see fancy serials in a onesie/twosie without having to search straps.

Whoops, the binary I just posted isn't an old bill. But interesting nonetheless.

My boss very sweetly saved me a 1950A $20 she found while running a drawer! He's got a little wear (SHOCKINGLY little, for his age and being in circulation), but when he's done pressing I'll post some pics.

Double-posting to report a 1993 $5 in GORGEOUS condition . . . if not for the bright pink ink spilled across the right side.

My crew always keeps an eye out for old bills and I count the drawers in the morning. My best finds yet are a $20 1934 and a $10 1934a. Both in wonderful condition. Only a centerfold on both of them. They came in a week apart too.

I came across some old bills and wonder how to tell if they have any value? Oldest I have in front of me is a 1977 $20 with slight wear. You can tell it's been folded, but there isn't any wear from that.
