wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 10/15/2008 8:12 pm Sorry, but notes (especially the larger ones) are still very common in circulation. Also, hearing that it is almost uncirculated, this reminds me that almost all the old FRNs, including $1s from the 60s and 70s are in really good shape. The quadrant numbers on the plates are all in the 500s and 1000s, which means that the plates were made well since production. Is there a government conspiracy to introduce more currency by printing it with old series years? Has anyone else thought this, or have gotten notes from the past that were in oddly good condition?

I sincerely doubt it. What MAY be happening is that more and more people are spending what has been "tucked" away. A direct relation to the economy. I see a lot of stuff like this at the coin shop. People bring it in to sell. Most of it gets turned away as we can't resell such notes in a timely manner if at all. Especially larger denominations. We usually advise spending it as much as I hate to but when people have bills to pay that's exactly what they do. Notes from $5 in denomination on up are actually being targeted for destruction by the Feds if of the newer "big head" designs started in 1996. Supposedly an anti-counterfeit measure so I would HIGHLY doubt they are putting any of those back into circulation once they get their paws on them. We recently had a customer come in with $1000 face in older 20's and 50s. Mainly 1950 series' and some 1934 series'. We paid a slight premium on 5 of the $20 notes. Betting the rest went toward bills. If one can afford to keep them then keep them. If not, spend them. Report this Post to the Staff
