At my age I've come across many early notes, of course (gold certificates were still circulating when I was a kid), but had no interest in keeping them until I got involved in paper money collecting in the early '90s. Since then, this is the only cool note I've found in circulation in all those years -  |

Oldest I've pulled was a crisp 1969 $1 bill. I've got a friend however who does accounting for a business who pulled a 1923 Silver Certificate that someone used to pay with.

Probably my oldest, picked from a local gas station I frequent.   I really like the old car on the reverse, too bad they don't do that anymore. Edited by Tunnioc

Remarkable that notes printed before WW II are still floating around!

I forgot to say that my 1928-B series 5$ note was also redeemable in Gold. I would like to get the gold in 5 one $ gold pieces. or face in silver or other coins of the era.

Remarkable that notes printed before WW II are still floating around!  . I think one of the cool things about living in the US is that there's such a huge quantity of notes circulating out there -that it is possible to find the odd very old series like the ones "garys64wildcat" listed. Great topic/question btw. Finding old notes "in the wild" was what pulled me into this hobby (also the fact that my brother got all my grandparent's coins!). As a teen, working at a car wash in the late Seventies, there would still appear the odd 1954 series. They mostly looked like the one attached below. I had heard about a "Devil's Face" in the original series but never found one (actually printed in 1954) but noticed asterisks printed in front of the serial numbers of our 1969-1975 multicolored series (and started to put those aside too).   |

Does finding a note in the garage count as "circulation finds". This past spring I found an 1850s Nebraska obsolete and a $100 counterfeit Confederate in a box labeled as my mom's old sewing junk. Most of the box turned out to be treasures and heirlooms that my paternal grandmother held onto that was completely unknown to exist. The old pouch also had an 1886 V nickel and a 20 cent, commemorative halves, etc. 4 generations of pocket watches in there too. |

Many Series 1928 FRN,SC,USN ; 1929 National Currency and FRBN, 'Hawaii' and 'North Africa' notes. Everything except a Gold Certificate. High denomination notes, 1928, 1934, 1934A. Yes, I am old. Additionally, I spent most of them...
