About a year and a half ago, my dealer turned my on to currency block numbers. I started looking at all of my currency, like I had looked at my coinage change for the past 30 years. I have acquired a few bills from the older design, before the 1996 conversions. I have a few hundreds, twenty's, and tens. I also have a handful of $1 star notes that I just cant bring myself to throw back into the wild.

Does anyone know of a place where people who collect black numbers can trade bills? or is it even worth keeping the older bills for something.

I really wouldn't want to put cash on e-bay, because after all of the fees, you would most likely come out losing money.

I'm sure the small heads would do well on the collector forum on the Where's George newsgroup. The * notes would move, probably little to no premium unless shorter runs or really nice. I may join in on that action too!

My signature says I'm doing a $1 block set, but that's really been dispersed over the past month to pay things, but once I get enough saved up I plan on starting it up again.

Do you collect from circulation or uncirculated notes?

Block numbers are fun to collect. In my cans I trip across them. But in my case it's Large size silver certificates. I had almost all the 1899 Indians, GEM, and I do have all the 1899 $2's, 14 of them for 10 FR numbers, all finest known. Both sets started accidentally. I'm more a dealer than collector so when I have a few of the same series, I try to fill the holes. Yes, it was expensive.
