If it doesn't hurt you financially, I say "keep them" for 2 or 3 decades. Why not ?
Once the FRN (Federal Reserve $1.00 Note) is gone, and
all of the dollar coins begin to
flood our everyday use by the BILLIONS.......they won't be just sitting in vaults in BU condition anymore ! ....

You'll see
all of the Sacagawea's,
all of the Native Dollars,
all of the
Presidential dollars, and even a lot of Suzy B's will begin to re-surface, and then just massively POUR into all of the banks from the Federal Reserve vaults, then out to the public .......
all of it.
Once there's no "paper dollar" anymore....annoyed or not, the American public
will eventually forget we ever even
had a "paper dollar".
If the Govt. DOESN'T ever get rid of the FRN.....then yeah.....basically just worth "face value".
I certainly have "my" couple rolls of Ole Honest Abe tucked away !
Also do the BU "folders".
Also do a Proof only Whitman album
And just try to keep a few nice singles put away for a rainy day.
Again.....why not ? I say. It's fun.....it's a hobby....there are some "what if ?" considerations.....my daughter likes em'......my Nephew likes em'.....they're circular historical beacons.....they teach.....from a distance they can pass as Pirates treasure....they fly incredibly well at fantastic speeds and directions when fired from slingshots.......just ALL KINDS OF REASONS to keep them.
