Is this something that is collectible? Or should I spend it on her? It is in fairly average condition but good for a piece of money that old. There is nothing special about the serial number and it is from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Pictures to come! Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Ark Valued Member Australia 192 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 03:14 am The condition seems to be around Fine or Very Good so the value wouldn't be much more than the face value ($20). I'd say keep it, and spend a different $20 on her. ;D Report this Post to the Staff

TJB17 Valued Member United States 492 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 08:38 am I agree with Ark. Keep it because she gave it to you, and spend another $20 or two on her. GFs soak that sappy stuff up. Report this Post to the Staff
barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5849 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 09:38 am I love finding and holding onto currency that is "before my time." In my case, however, we're talking about Silver Certificates and "red seal" United States notes. Your note looks perfectly normal to me and I would spend it without a second thought. Again, though, that's just because I grew up with those notes and the modern "big head" notes look very strange to me...

Some of my old friends say I had a very good time there, but I'm not sure. The name does ring a bell sometimes but most times I'm not sure why. Bill Collector Report this Post to the Staff
