[QUOTE="clembo, post: 253455, member: 8033"]My wife went to the bank for me today. I always tell her to ask for "old style" notes. She got one a 1969A $20 note. No tears or writing but circulated. VG-F note. So what should I do with it? I'll spend it. The reason I'm not keeping it is that it's not particularly rare. About 80 million of them were printed for this block (G-B) If it was CU or even AU I would probably keep it. If it was a 1969B series I would keep it. The point here folks is that just because a note is old does not make it valuable. Just like with coins education is the key. Honestly, I believe there is a lot more "rare" currency to be picked up at face value than coins but you have to know what to look for and what to pass up. Dropping one cent for a wheatie in change is a no brainer but dropping $20 for a 1969A is a different story. That's six gallons of gas (how pathetic is that?). Just sharing an opinion, a perspective and a little information with y'all. clembo[/QUOTE]
