where do get old coins and bills

OK, does anyone have suggestions on which bank I should go to, to get old coins and bills, 2 dollar bills, and rolls and boxes of coins. Thanks!!

Unfortunately, there isn't an "old money bank", Andy.... the closest thing to that would likely be a coin dealer.

Some have better luck at certain locations than others, but there are no sure bets. You're going to have to figure this one out you self by trial and error.

 

Drive through small towns and look for old banks.

Do you think he drives yet? Or even has permission to go that far from home given the questions. Just sayin'

$2 dollar bills can be found at almost any branch of any bank in any town.

 

are they usually old when you ask for 5 of them??

 

I was going to go to my PNC bank tomorrow get 5 $2 dollar bills and 3 rolls of pennies...

 

What series do you consdier to be old? Why 5?

 

Go for it! But go with low expectations, so anything "old" you get feels like something special.

 

I mean older than 1976

 

the reason I'm doing 5 is because I have a $10 bill

 

I'll send you some old bills for free... but you have to promise you will pay them

 

Chances are slim.

 

You don't have to spend it, just because you have it. Ask if they have any old $5s or an old $10 as well if they don't have any older $2s. Do you own any books on Small-sized U.S. Paper Money, yet? For about $15 you could have a decent one to learn about every series out there.

 

what do you mean??

 

Electric bills, phone bills, cc card bills, that sort of thing

 

He's just yanking your chain...

 

haha, now I get it... No thanks I'll pass...

 

have you ever tried PNC bank for old currency???

 

I'd recommend buying either or both of these books if you are getting into U.S. notes:

Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S. Paper Money (Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S. Paper Money 1928 to Date) Tenth Edition

A Guide Book of United States Paper Money, Fourth Edition

No, I don't acquire my notes from the bank. They are usually mishandled, and in poor condition.

 

Wells Fargo. I just got $100 in $2 bills. 3 1976s.
