If they are star notes, then they might be worth saving. But no matter how much I like old dollar bills, if they aren't any of the above, they probably aren't worth keeping.

fcrazo Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 10/15/2011 1:52 pm Amazing to find such quantity at one place. There is a chance that someone had those as part of a collection and tried to sell them and realized there was no market for them or not enough value to justify the effort to sell them individually.

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 10/15/2011 6:13 pm Barr notes are accepted at any bar in the US. You got 325 of them because the people who held them for close to 50 years found out they couldn't get a premium on them. Report this Post to the Staff
The_Duke Pillar of the Community United States 1745 Posts	Posted 10/15/2011 6:17 pm It's amazing how many people collected them back in the day. A friend of mine says his Mom gathered up all she could find, mostly in the Bar. Now people are finding out their not worth much. Report this Post to the Staff

googoo Valued Member United States 466 Posts	Posted 10/16/2011 10:39 am hmm, I had no idea what these were, but after a quick look in the CCF search bar I found out that Barr was a secretary of state who served for a very brief time frame the notes I think I read were from 1963 series very interesting I would keep them just because I like old notes, but that is quite a bit of money. If you don't need the money though, there is no real reason to ditch them in my opinion. It's not like depositing the coins in the bank will gain you anything. Maybe buying silver with them would be a better investment then just holding them. Report this Post to the Staff
