I found these bills still in circulation. The $20 is from 1934 and the $1 is from 1935. I think that they are both in pretty good condition for being 90 years old.   |

Thanks! When I tried to upload the image, it said it was too big. It also wouldn't let me post when I tried to post the image from image bb. Yes, you will need to optimize it before upload. Uploading Photos |

Hey CaseyCoins I hate to break it to you but they are not 90 years old.
The series year has nothing to do with the year they were issued.
Take the 1935f silver certificate.
When was the year 1935f?
There was not one.
Normally you would use the serial number to figure out when it was printed but these are to old.
You can use the signature combo to get a rough estimate.
The 1934 20 has the signatures of William Alexander Julian and Henry Morgenthau.
Julian was in office from 6/1/1933 - 5/29/1949 and Morgenthau was in office from 1/1/1934 - 7/22/1945 so the print age range is from 1/34-7/45.
Now the 1935f silver certificate has the signatures of Ivy Baker Priest and Robert Bernard Anderson.
Priest was in office from 1/28/1953 - 1/29/1961 and Anderson was in office from 7/29/1957 - 1/20/1961 so the print age range is from 7/57-1/61

Picked this up from my bank yesterday. Quite surprised to get a bill almost 100 years old and to get it in Canada. Don't know much about US banknotes but the red seal is interesting.   |

Surprised to see that $2 red seal in Canada. Why would the bank have that at all, surprised not because it's old but because it's US currency...
I've exchanged foreign currency at my bank a few times but they don't accept older series, even if the bills are still legal tender in their home countries (ie: Switzerland, Japan etc).
Btw: a few weeks ago I was at a gas station paying for my gas. The clerk was so excited because the customer ahead of me paid with $30 in "old bills". They were small heads from 1995 or so, but she was young and that looked "old" to her. I asked if I could buy them at face value and she said "of course". It was four $5 bills and one $10 bill. They're in my desk now with my stash of small heads and when I have time I'll upload pics.
(Keep this thread going!)
