I still have most of the coin and currency magazines that started me in the collecting habit. The other day I was flipping through one issue from 1979 and a crisp new note from that era fell out. It was nothing spectacular but just goes to show you save and forget some of the notes that you come across. Yesterday I was cleaning my garage - and going through some old paperwork - and flipped open an old check stub from 2004 - and I find 4 crisp new 2003A $1 notes. Again - these notes are nothing rare, etc - but the point is - I saved them and forgot about them. When I told my wife about them - she was hoping I found a thousand dollars squirreled away - but alas it was only $4. Has this happened to anyone else? I wonder how many other notes I've saved away!

ron6788 Pillar of the Community United States 655 Posts	Posted 04/24/2018 11:47 am A few months ago, I found a coffee can on one of my shelves that had my grandfather's stuff he pulled from circulation: about 20 silver dollars and 4 Bicentennial $2 bills. My mother told me she had given it to me years ago but I don't think I'd ever even looked inside. Alas, I'm not too sentimental when it comes to money. I auctioned the coins and took 3 of the bills down to the pretzel store (I saved one bill). BTW, if you're a fresh pretzel person like me, take note that this Thursday is National Pretzel Day. They should be doing specials all day. If not, ask them, why not? Report this Post to the Staff
