<p>[QUOTE="G8R8U2, post: 1462579, member: 38585"]This may seem like a silly question, but I recently acquired a 1981 $100 bill through a regular transaction, and it seems like it's in awfully good condition for a note that is now 30 years old. It's still crisp, but has an almost indiscernible crease down the center. But even with that, it still stands straight out when you hold it at one end. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are no tears, stains, nicks, or other bends or creases. The corners are unbent or worn. There has been no writing or anything else done to it. Frankly, it's in better shape than most of the other money I handle from day to day, even paper money that's only a few years old. I'm not sure it could be in any better shape if someone had closed it in a sleeve and a book right after getting it from a bank in 1981.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no way to scan it or post a photo right now, and I'm not sure paper money this recent is worth much over face value; but I hoped I might get some other opinions based on the information I was able to provide on whether or not it's a keeper or a spender.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
