authorJonB New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 10/15/2015 4:20 pm I recently discovered a small stash of money in an old suitcase I used years ago. The following bills were inside: 1 $100.00 B3, Series 1988 4X $ 50.00 2@ Series 1985, 1@ 1988, 1 @ 1990 3X $ 20.00 1@ Series 1985, 1@ Series 1988 and 1@ Series1993 4X $ 10.00 2@ Series 1985, 2@ Series 1988 33X $ 5.00 All in sequence (Series 1988) A few missing from the original pack of 50) Could someone advise as to their current value. I tried to exchange them in Brazil for Brazilian Reals and they refused them for being too old. I'll be in the US in 2 weeks. Author Jon Report this Post to the Staff

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 10/15/2015 4:28 pm The condition of them is obviously important... are they perfect or used noted? Also whats the first and last serial number for the $5s? Do any of the notes have stars next to the serial number? These things would be important clues for determining values...

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/15/2015 4:57 pm So let me get this right - you basically forgot about more than $500 in cash? Maybe you should check your other suitcases whil you're at it! Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7618 Posts	Posted 10/15/2015 6:25 pm The uncirculated notes might bring a few dollars over face value on ebay. You can also drop in to a couple of coin shops and see what they offer you for them. Look up values In a recent edition of the Oakes/Schwartz Small Size Currency Guide book before you part with any of them. Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff

Heck I think I'll go check my suitcases! Quote: Unfortunately, due to inflation, you have lost money, not gained money. A potential pitfall of collecting money in general (or letting it sit under your mattress). If they're in good shape you could make a few bucks per note on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
