What is the worst condition bill that you cant seem to get rid of? Maybe it has some significant value to it or something you just happen to find.

I will go first

The top bill is a 1934 Dollar bill that my grandfather had folded up in his office. He gave it to me for my 21st Birthday.

The Hawaii Note is one I found at an auction.

The bottom one was a $2 bill that my other grandfather kept in his wallet for many many years. When he gave it to me it was so horrible and ripped. Sadly it was a Star Note too.

So what do you have?
Rest in Peace

I've got an old red seal $1 that I thought was really crummy but you have me beat by a mile with that collection.

By the way, I won that crummy note with a $1 raffle ticket at my local club.

I have some silver certificates that I've had since I was a kid -- so a little sentimental attachment to those. Nothing valuable though.

A couple years ago I wanted to get a Continental, but I didn't want to spend much money on one.

Well, these aren't in horrible condition, but they definitely have some condition issues. They were the best I could afford at the time due to their rarity, however, and I don't see me spending the money to upgrade them anytime soon (probably never):

I have a tiny snip-it of a 1935 Silver Certificate that was ripped ages ago. It's literally the left side of the bill (obverse facing that is) and stops around the first letter of the serial number.

I don't want to throw it away because I'm sure there's some history backing it, but I don't want it, and shipping isn't worth it to send it individually. I feel like if I included it in an ebay lot, no one would want the lot JUST due to the fact that they would have to deal with the guilt of throwing it away if they didn't want it.

This note was left to me by my mother. It is in rough shape but I was advised to keep it anyway.

The 1928E silver certificate it the toughest of the series 1928's except for the stars.

Your note would probably sell in the $200+ range
