Has Anyone Ever Gotten A 1928 Gold Certificate Out Of Circulation?

I actually once received a 1929 national currency note from the bank. A $100 bill.

Most of the notes you mention - certainly North Africa, Hawaii, FRBNs and odd Nationals - were commonly seen in the 1950s, along with the occasional $1 red seal US Note. I can remember seeing $10 golds once in awhile, and surely the $20s must have been around as well.

Remember, these carried no premium at the time.

As a 12-year old, I used to go down to the local bank on Saturday morning and search through bags of any denomination I wanted, including silver dollars.

Times have changed.

When I was a teller, on rare very rare occasions I would see 1934 series FRN's, and I got 2 silver certificates including a $10 one. Another teller I worked with got a funny back $1 silver cert, showed it to me, and then decided to keep it in their teller box. Well one day, a customer saw her counting her box, and she ended up giving it to him because she had forgotten what exactly it was lol.
