My first $1 find that dates past 2003. I am a beginner on collecting if anyone not excited as me to finding it.   |

Just a spender. For a small sum on Amazon, you should buy Schwartz and Lindquist's "Standard Guild to Small Size U.S. Paper Money", which will help you easily determine which notes might be worth keeping.  |

Nice find. Just a heads up: It is a 1969A and it is prior to 2003. Condition is not that great so no premium. Check for a low run size,if it is then it's a keeper. John1  |

It might not have any premium value, but I think it's fun to find old stuff in circulation. No harm in keeping it.
When I first started to really collect, I kept just about anything old until I my interest narrowed to just a few things. I still keep a lot of finds that have no premium value just because I like them.

A spender, but always fun to find old currency in circulation!  I have the tendency to be in the "it's only a dollar, keep it" camp, but just remember those add up quickly if you're not careful. That said, I think it's time to convert my "it's only a dollar" stack to a graded note. |

Cool find, especially considering the typical lifespan of one dollar notes is just under six years.
The series 1969A one dollar notes were a short print. Printed between Sept.1970 and Feb.1971 (6 months). All districts are represented for non-star notes, and all districts are represented for star notes EXCEPT Dallas.
I'm guessing by the threads started and posts, that KittenLove collects strictly from circulation and is primarily interested in fancy serials and older series dates......so that would make this an exciting find. Finding a note in circulation, printed over 45 years ago must be a thrill for new collectors which is what this hobby is all about. The note may not, and may never have value over face but look through the one dollar notes you receive in change and see how long it takes you to get a note older than this. Unlike coins, which are never retired, paper currency is constantly being shredded and replaced with new notes.
Cool find KittenLove.

SteveInTampa Thank you for the reply and you understood what I was saying. Thought that this was a place to share your own personal finds with other collectors and learn from them. I am not looking for a value on what I find. If I do find something really great and won't be selling it either.

It's funny how rare they are these days. When I couldn't keep too many of them, 20 years ago, I could regularly find ones back through the 60s. Now I can get a stack of bills and nearly all of them will be from 2009 and later -- though bank tellers will tell me that sometimes people still bring in silver certificates to them. It's a nice find.
