Possibly a bank. A bank might get one in a deposit and you could pick it up for face value.......an extremely rare occurrence.

 

A bank if you are lucky because the red seal sticks out in a bundle of green seals.

 

Yes, other than a bank, no one is going to give you a red seal $100 for face value.
You have a minor chance of finding a 1966 $100 at a bank because of it's high face value, but, there are plenty of people aware of it's collector value.

 

1966 or a few years thereafter...

 

rare in the US banks. Easier to find over the border. Notes clear back to the civil war surface in Europe.

 

There was no US currency issued with a 1966 date.
The dates of that time were 1963 and 1969.

 

Here it is! The coveted 1966 red seal $100.

 

Although I see what you mean, the 1966 $100s were released sometime in the 1970s as I recall.

 

AH HA!!!
Took me a while to find it but, yes, it does exist.

Buying one at face value?
Not going to happen (unless you have a VERY good friend or meet someone who doesn't know better).

 

Anything that,s been around that long, has usually been pulled from circulation
Average on a $100 bill is about 9 years.

 

Well, there's the 1966 and the 1966A. The 1966 is more common and circulated examples can go for $120 or so.
In those days $100 was a lot of money and when you got a hundred, it often didn't get spent, but got saved for a rainy day. So many survived more than 9 years in excellent condition because they didn't circulate very much. Even 50's didn't circulate that much. $20 was your big bill in those days.
They need to bring back the $500 and the $1000 as all these hundreds are just cluttering up my wallet.

 

It happened to me in 2009 on this very forum: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/anybody-heard-from-rickie-b.194615/#post-1297407. Let's not forget the North Africa note that RickieB, may he rest in peace, sent to me as well. He will forever be remembered as a kind and generous individual.
