I work at a deli and have the opportunity to go through about $5,000 in cash on a weekly basis. I mainly collect silver coins, but whenever I find an older Federal Reserve Note I buy it from my boss. Over the past couple of weeks, I have come across a nice 1977 $20 FRN, and this week a guy used a 1985 $10 note that I bought from my boss. I have some pictures below. Was just wondering if anyone knows anything about these two series of notes - are they worth anything over face value, sought after, or just cool to hold onto? I'd appreciate any info I know there's a 'What's it Worth' forum, but the last time I posted about paper money there, I was redirected here!
Both fairly common and large print runs but you never know so keep picking them up when you can. Good Luck!
It is extremely rare for me to get Minneapolis-Mineapolis anything. Even just regular cash. And believe me when I say, I've gone through thousands of bills. I have very little Minneapolis notes in my collection. I would keep both notes in a heart beat. I specifically keep all $5's-$100's Series 1995 and earlier anyways, but with the one being Minneapolis, I would be more temped. As for the $20, it is old enough to keep anyways...
I like the serial for the $20. How do you like the currency holder? I was just looking at the same one at hobby lobby?
I like the 20 myself. I check all my notes for decent SNs, stars, and dates, but rarely keep anything over a $1 bill due to cost. I'd definatly keep those if I could afford it. Good finds IMO.
It definitely serves it's purpose! I got it at Hobby Lobby. They had a different holder that was a black leather binder, but it was way more than $3.99, so I just stuck with this. I don't have many Fed notes anyway, so I don't need a lot of album space right now. Thanks for the replies guys. It's amazing how older, solid green notes stick out like a treasure amongst all of the colored, Monopoly money in circulation now.
