Finally got an old small portrait 50 that passed through my own cash drawer. Nothing too special, but it was my first one.
I've gotten several more small portraits, but nothing really worth posting about.
Also got a 1957A Silver Certificate in decent shape.

Hello, I just joined a couple days ago, and I have a few old bills I got out of circulation years ago, some from circulation from the 1980's. Here is a 1934 Series C $5 note.   |

Here is another note I got out of circulation years ago. Not in the best shape. A $5 Federal Reserve Note, Series 1950 D.   |

Customer handed me $7 for gas today, including this worn $5 US note, said he didn't want to spend it but he needed the gas more, I assured him that it was going to a good home as I bought it out of the drawer in front of him.  |

I have a question for currency collectors. At what point do you draw the line between age and condition? I've been trying to as many of the star notes and small head bills that I can find, but they are popping up a lot quicker than I anticipated. Now I have a few grand tied up. I've decided to keep everything from the 50s, 60s and back (and possibly the 70s) regardless of condition, but I can't decide if it's really worthwhile to keep bills from the 80s and 90s if they have a lot of creases and/or ink marks, etc. Any feedback is appreciated.

When I asked my friend to borrow a dollar at a marching competition, he gave me a nice crisp AU 1969 one dollar bill. It was the surprise of the night.
Oh, we got eigth in the competition.

WVblueandgold,
Personally I collect any old small head bills I can get my hands on. It might be because they are pretty rare around here in NY. Most small head bills after the 80s are face value even if it is in decent condition (unless they are an error, fancy serial, etc of course. If you can afford to collect them at face value, I say go for it. They become rarer each passing day.

Thanks for the advice Woodford. I managed to pick up several older bills today. The oldest were 5 1934 $20s and 2 1950 $20s.  |

In my "small head" a keeper? I exchanged $20 for 4 $5s in a bank some time ago and this was one of the $5s. It's a 1985.   |

In that condition it'll be worth face value. Still fun to find those in circulation though.

Personally, since I don't do much with my money, I keep every small portrait notes (and the good condition 1996-era notes that I find.
It'll always be worth at least face, and I'll spend it if I happen to need some emergency money.
I feel like this will change, however, once I go to college and become more strapped for cash.
