The Mint and the BEP are just trying to keep their busy hands in collectors' pockets, and I hate that.

These bills seem to over priced a whole lot. I'd rather find my new bills at the bank when I walk in and ask if they have any new bills.

In defense of the BEP, I doubt your bank will have new currency with an 8888 start serial number. Some collectors have all or most of the "Lucky Money" notes dating back to 2002 and collect more out of tradition than of hopes of having something really valuable in the future. To me, it compares to coin collectors that buy annual Silver Eagles knowing they are paying triple or more of what spot silver is worth. |
