Who, in the first place, would spend this? Some kid raided his parent's collection to get some candy and pop?

I have to wonder if it could not be conserved professionally. So sad.

 But I wonder what the cost of the restoration would be.... It's a shame. |

Well, in answer to the original question: ignorance and lack of training.

with all the above! The way I look at it is, there are 7.5 billion people on this blue marble. A vast majority of them are oblivious to many, many things including the value or rarity of some currency.  Edited by Tootallious

I can see a gas station attendant marking this up as counterfeit.
Walk into any major retailer and try paying for your purchase with series 1928 / 1934 Federal Reserve notes, blue seal silver certificates or red seal Untied States notes and watch the cashiers freak out and start calling for the head cashier.
As mentioned previously ....all due to inexperience, ignorance and lack of training.

Agreed... even though we have all this wonderful social media at our disposal and everyone is so much more "enlightened"... few really care to use it to actually learn anything, develop critical thinking, delve into history, or step outside their bounds/comfort.

That is my first time encountering such a bill (or banknote) in that situation.
I believe it is against the federal regulations to "deface" the bills---I read that somewhere.
It is such a shame that a old bill got a bad treatment from the cashier. I am sure the person who found out that this particular note was lost forever as it was stolen plus "defaced." Terrible!
Again, young cashiers and head cashiers do not see these notes daily---it is understandable that they would thought the note is fake.
I have not seen older bills in the circulation lately. That could explain this situation partly?

I'm pretty sure the cost of restoration,if possible, would exceed the value of this note.
It's truly unfortunate.

 I don't know why better training is not done for those in charge of handling cash. |
