sostra New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 7:03 pm Hi all. Received an extremely crisp & clean(almost uncirculated?) 1985 100 bill at the bank the other day. It is Chicago seal with unremarkable serial number. Should I hang on to it, or spend it at the coin show tomorrow? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

sostra New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 7:18 pm Thanks amida. Was surprised to get it since the tellers usually pull out the "old style" bills when I'm getting cash. They call them obsolete! I don't collect currency but thought it was neat. Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 7:21 pm It is neat...not much of a currency guy here. Hence my answer. Bring it to the show maybe someone will give you a premium in trade? Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/13/2011 02:20 am well its just another $100 bill then, I can't see any reason to keep it. I have gotten quite a few older 100's when I have gotten a check cashed or something and they are nothing special unless the serial number is special Report this Post to the Staff
Nickelman Pillar of the Community United States 1397 Posts	Posted 03/13/2011 08:30 am If it were from the 60's I might consider saving it. If it were from the 50's I WOULD save it. 80's just isn't old enough. Report this Post to the Staff
