| Oldest note found in circulation
There is an "oldest coin found" thread going on over in the coin forums, so i figured we needed an oldest note found thread!
Here are my oldest. I found them separately in change very recently. http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic.php?u=11130S5RAi&i=1044270

I found this when I managed a truck stop. http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...872/280001.jpg
....and it made me do this. http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x...ncingalien.gif
If you can't tell by my "lovely" scan it's a 1928A Series.
I actually pulled a lot of the 1934 series' in denminatiions from $10-$100 back then. Lots of 1950 series' as well.
My wife found the oldest star note for me. A 1950E $5 star note.
That's the ONLY thing I miss about managing a truck stop.

In 1987 while working as gas station attendant in Oregon somebody paid for some gas with a 1928 red seal $2.00 note, when they left I bought it out of the till.

OK, not extremely old, but you'll all cringe at this story.
My sister works for a bank in FL and pulls things out for me.
One of the tellers at her branch came across a 1950 $20 bill and was thoroughly convinced it was counterfeit. She marked it all up with the "counterfeit pen" and the fact that the ink was black convinced her even more. So off to the secret service it went only to come back a week later with a letter stating it's genuine. Only then, was my sister able to buy it. For those that don't know, when you report a bill as counterfeit, you are required to write your name and date on the bill too.
I haven't seen it yet, so I'm hoping my sister was exagerating about the extent of the counterfeit pen marks.
