Coincollector110 Pillar of the Community United States 818 Posts	Posted 08/30/2015 08:15 am As many of you have heard, I was on vacation last week. Now I'm back, with a bunch of old bills that I traded for after I saw them get spent. One thing I noticed is that every time I saw an old bill get spent, the person spending it was old enough to be my grandmother. So what I'm wondering is, have these people actually been holding onto them since they were new or is it just a coincidence? Report this Post to the Staff

mritchie77 Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 08/30/2015 12:38 pm At my bank, just about all of the crips old bills I get are from people bringing in either 1)their stash of cash from way back when or 2) a family member passed away and they are bringing in their stash. Both scenarios have happened multiple times. Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe it was one of those scenarios you mentioned. Report this Post to the Staff

mikepellerin New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 08/31/2015 12:31 am I used to work at a movie theatre. We would get older folks come in and pay with really old bills. One time a patron paid for two tickets (about $18.00 at the time) with sequentially numbered, silver certificate $1 bills. I traded the bills out with my newer stuff, and offered my manager (an avid collector) the bills for 4x face. I don't collect paper, and he did so it was a good deal. Report this Post to the Staff
