Yeah, I know Nick......I was only joshin' with you. I actually can walk and chew gum at the same time too........Sometimes I get a little confused though and try to take two steps with my left foot without alternating to the right foot, but I usually don't fall down too often.

One of my friends young son used to fall down a lot. They made a cushiony headband they made him wear to protect his noggin. Perhaps I could get them to make you one too?

Thanks, but I don't think that will be necessary. I have heard about these cigarettes that will help me quit chewing gum.........(or was that the other way around)? I have hit my head so many times from falling down that I just don't remember. Nice note though.

Ooops, I guess you didn't post a note did you? Time to spit out the gum anyway.

I'm not really a note guy. I have a $10 and $20 Confederate States and a $5 Hawaii and a North Carolina Bank note (crisp). Other than that, I Just wanted to say welcome :-)

@ monkeyman67

It's all just about learning and searching. Yes you miss some, but learn adapt and have fun. My day is made more than often by just finding a new fancy. I carry them home like a warrior returning from the hunt and proudly display them to my GF who is less than impressed. So I then post them here where people will actually appreciate them.

@ zeewool

You are in rare form today... that last post was actually funny.

Thank you guys. I went through 500 $1 and found 2 *'s.
I was 1 digit off on a rader. I got the $1 so I could get more bills. Are the higher $ bills worth more, beside face of course?

No, I think that (despite logic), the $1 note remains the most popular denomination across the board. The $1 note is printed in astronomical numbers, which many perceive as an greater opportunity to make a find. It also costs less to purchase (relative to a stack of $5 or $20 notes), so the accessibility for most folks is there.

I went to the bank for my bills. Some of them were ratty. Is it best to ask for uncirculated? I also felt like a jerk returning 500 bills and asking for more. The guy had to recount them all by hand. Is there another way to handle this? Is the bank the best place?

Oooooo yeah, I can imagine.....

Some of the guys here get new notes sealed from the BEP. I'm sure they will tell you how.

I have a rule that I live by. I never return the same notes to the bank I purchased them from. Obviously in order to do that you need accounts at 2 banks. Buy from one, return to the other that takes the sting out of it. The employee just thinks you have a vending machine business or something.

I really am glad that you are here monkeyman. 20 minutes later, and I still have tears running down my cheeks. That was the funniest thing that I have read in a long, long time.

I guess that you'll know that you are pushing your luck when you start receiving death threats attached to your monthly bank statement.

That is exactly what I said to the guy, "you don't have a bill counter?" I have been bobbing and weaving in and out of different branches so no one figures out my game. That was TD Bank by the way. I have another banch I have an account in so I will pick up from one and drop off at another. Alot of branches around too but the TD has great hours and weekends.

Another alternative to banks is casinos. When I go to A.C to play poker I'll bring an extra thousand down to put through the casino bill breakers. Once all the big bills are broken up I put the change into a slot and then cashout and take the slip to a cashier or payout machine.

I will be at the casinos next week. I will definately do that.
I got a 50000007 sn last night. If that 5 was a 0 I would have been the man.
I have decided that I will probably collect the older Gold and Silver notes. I will puor through these guys to find some value so I can buy the other bills.
