A teller saved it and gave it to me (series 1934). If I was not going to take it they were going to send it in for mutilation / to be destroyed.

Ceylon62,
That's a very good photo of a not a very good looking bill, so probably not worth much other than 5.00, but it would be interesting to see what it would look like "pressed", could you give it a try and show us a before and after photo.

The note I posted is past the point of no return. I hope you were / are joking and am glad I was able to rescue it.

I do have one with the before pic. The note is locked up for now and the next time I get to the bank I will get an "after" pic and post them.

Nick, do you have any before and afters?

Yep, was only jokin, I realize it's past the point of no return, but a good visual of before and after photos would be educational for us newer guys.

I need to (If I get time) post some of my finds later.

I have some friends that sell me the dollar bills they find. I've gotten multiple 2001s, 1999s, and 1995s. A friend sold me a WEB note (1988A, block number FN in VF condition), another sold me a 1985 $1 note and a 1988A $5 note, I got a 1977 $1 in change, and a relative gave me a 1957 star note (Block Number TA) they got at where they work. I also have a 1981(A?) $20 note that a teller saved for me at the bank.

Most of the notes aren't in the most beautiful condition, but they're my collection and I like them

Got these recently in change. I'm sure there's no premium but I'll probably hang onto the top one just because I haven't seen a small portrait $20 in awhile.

The note is AU++ series 95.

It's also a binary serial number of 2's and 8's! Nice catch!

Found this 1925 10$ in circulation about 15 years ago. Some one had used it to bloody well buy a Whopper at Burger King, so I bought it from the till.

Got this 1934 5$ the same way, but not at the same time.

One of the $1 notes that I have older than 1999. Got this one at the bank two weeks ago! (Ask them to see their Mutilation Currency. Pretty weird finds in there )

Just used the scanner for the first time. I think I spent the past half hour trying to save the picture in a format that could be posted . All well, at least I got it posted!

Takes half an hour to figure it out and scan one picture, then twenty minutes to scan eight others .

Got this one in change several months ago.

Sold to me by a friend.

Another friend (Didn't know it was a WEB until about six months later!)

A teller at the bank I go to saves $20s for me. Bought this one, she has about ten others but I can't afford them right now (Tight budget on coin & note collecting).
Old-Bills-Found-In-Circulation!-Post-Yours!

Yet another friend sold this one to me. I have a lot of friends who collect coins, but not many who live near me collect notes.

Same friend who sold me the 1985 $1 Note.
Old-Bills-Found-In-Circulation!-Post-Yours!

Mutilation Note search. Not the most beautiful 1995, but it's the only one I own.
Old-Bills-Found-In-Circulation!-Post-Yours!

Last but not least, a family member found this one at where she works.
Old-Bills-Found-In-Circulation!-Post-Yours!

The above notes are the ones I can think of right now. I know I have more $1 Notes, but there are too many to scan, plus I'm too lazy to scan them
