Post your oldest bill found in circulation

Not bad for a bill that’s been in use since 1935. What’s your oldest circulation find?

I can't post it due to the page about to rip off the folder but my father found/bought( I have no idea ) an 1872 bank of Augustus one dollar bill in uncirculated condition.

This dollar was not issue to anyone and it has no date 18 __ but has 1872 in the folder.

 

Nice find.

Printed and distributed 1946-1949. Doubtful is saw use all those years, but a cool find regardless.

 

I assume you mean "found in circulation recently", right? I mean, there are people here who were born well before 1935...

 

back in the 80's i dated a girl who worked as a bank teller in town, i educated her on what to look out for, all these notes came from customers and i got them for face value...

 

This Star note $20.00 I received in 2015


Here is the thread from back then - https://www.cointalk.com/threads/20-00-b-note-star-note-1969-my-very-first-poll.261515/

 

Nope. Post the oldest one you’ve ever found. Preferably with a photo.

 

Well done!

Edit: are you holding those hoping we go back to the gold standard? It would sure be something.

 

I'll be of no use anyhow, because when I was a little kid back in the 60s, I was far too poor to hang onto a dollar just because it looked old.

 

Does this count. I found this in the trash around 1958. Thought it was play money, but cool, so I kept it.

 

Sure does!

 

Up until this year, all of the currency I have was out of circulation.







It was hard to hang on to these as I was just a kid and loved to spend money and that's why you don't see anything above a $5 bill. LOL

 

My contribution to the thread above

 

I started a collection of 1957 $1 all for circulation and got the $10 a couple of week ago.

 

ten dollar bill from 1950. no pics of it. i spent it at the bank to get pennies

 

You found a Pallisades national in circulation? That's a monster... probably a $200 note.

And that Confederate was in the trash for a reason... trash it and spend $20 to get a decent version of the real thing, very affordable note. Life is to short to cavort with terrible condition replicas... like a third-owner blow up doll with too many punctures to count...

 

Great Place, i remember it well
