I know this isn't copper related but i didn't know where else to post it and i really want your guys input. From what I can tell old bills in good condition are worth a lot over FV. Would it be a good idea to put away a few sheets of $1 from the past ten years or so? Think about the last time you got a bill from 1980 or maybe even 1990, not often at least for me, because they are used up so quickly and taken out of circulation. In my opinion $1 bills would be the best to do this with since those usually have the shortest life span in the wild, do you think this is just a waste of time or a potential money maker?
thanks

I think that you have to wait 50 plus years at least for it to pay.

Kiwi,

Not unless they are star notes. The mintages are just to high. Even go back to 1963 $1 notes and they aren't worth much. Highest being $32 for a star and $9 for a non star and thats in UNC-63

I mean you could get lucky and get like a 1981 Dallas start note worth $1250 or 1985 St Louis star worth $1350 or 1988 Atlanta Star worth $1400 or 1988 A Atlanta star worth $1400. Thats basically it from 63-now for $1 notes.

I think your money is better of someplace else...but thts just my 2 cents.


Also there is a numismatic section so it could have gone there :)

Just because a guidebook says it's worth that much doesn't mean someone is willing to pay such a price.

Look at certain Web Note auctions on eBay. Web Note B-L block from the Series 1988-A is worth up to $1300 in uncirculated condition according to the books. Now look at the auctions. Starts at around $10.

Yes, I know this. I wasen't saying you will get that for it. I was just mearly pointing out that out of the last 47 years there are only like 4 $1 regular circulation notes that are worth anything....

Although a nice complete set of Germans bills from throughout the entirety of the Weimar hyperinflation would be something to admire... and might be worth a pretty penny. Never seen one marketed anywhere. I've got the stamps tho

Hoard now and hold on!
