Hello, I recently found this in circulation. Needless to say, it took me by surprise! I am not very familiar with paper, but I know decades-old when I see it It also happens to be my birth year. Not in bad shape... thank you for checking it out! -L
Nice find! Unfortunately it's not worth much, if anything, over face value due to the condition. But it's still fun to find things like this. If you decide to spend it, good luck doing so without getting the secret service called. I barely was able to spend a 1990 note, which had a security strip. Other than the micro-printing, you might have a tough time convincing a retailer that it's real.
Nice find .. I always like the small head bills ..don't find many in the wild any more ... I always like this side of the white house better anyways ..... on this web site it says these bills were delivered between June 71 to March 73 http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials.pdf page 139 good luck
What a cool, fact-filled PDF. Thanks for that link! Thanks also to everyone who commented. I'm saving it... just because -L
I also save all the small heads as i think its how our money sets us apart from others. The big heads make our money look as if it were made in Mexico. IMO.
That one won't be as rare as others in the series because it shows the treasurer's name in the lower left-hand corner as "Kabis". The earlier 1969-series notes showed her former last name "Elston" and are more scarce.
Other way around. 1969 $20 (Elston-Kennedy) had 607 million printed. 1969A $20 (Kabis-Connally) had 366 million printed. Even scarcer is the 1969B $20 (Banuelos-Connally); those only had 151 million printed. But all three of those totals are lower than every other $20 series from 1969 to present, so any of them would be a pretty good circulation find!
