Got this from a bank teller yesterday when I cashed a paycheck. Note the poor centering and alignment mark at the top. I think it might be worth at least $2.00. Nice find!  |

Nice find. I kinda wish they had reverted to the Monticello back after the 1976 notes.

Nice find Skippy. Looks like those small-portrait notes are still out there.

The only 20th-century bill I received in change during my recent US vacation was this 1985 $1 from a snack-bar in Seattle airport just before I flew home!  |

That bill was printed in May 1988 according to the BEP reports, a little over 35 years ago!

The bills we had in England at that time were big, made of paper and signed by Chief Cashier D H F Somerset, and all have been withdrawn from circulation long ago! There have been three design changes since then. I only realised how old this bill was when I got home - it went in my wallet with my other change and I only checked it when I got home. From its condition I was expecting it to be a 2017 or 2013, so the date was quite a surprise! It's now saved in my album. |

There have been three design changes since then. Well that is the thing about our currency. You can spend almost any currency ever printed. Including continental currency and fractional if you can find someone to take it. The only currency that is illegal to spend is Confederate currency. The only currency that is illegal for the average citizen to own is the $100,000 bill. We have had only two major changes to our currency first it was the portrait went bigger then we added colors. |

Notes of $500 and higher are legal tender, but those are immediately sent to the Treasury for destruction when they reach a bank, and IIRC the small portrait bills $5 through $100 as well as the non-colorized big head $100s are also being pulled, but I am not 100% sure.

I was going through a strap the other day and I found these eleven crisp 1993s dispersed throughout. Not only are they from seven different production blocks including a star note, but they are from both the Fort Worth and DC facilities. Maybe someone raided Dad's sock drawer... and here they are 30 years later. I'm sure they're spenders, but interesting to find these together in such good shape.  |

Interesting! That series was only in production for about a year, from mid-1994 through mid-1995.
