Message:: [QUOTE="tbudwiser, post: 1421619, member: 32774"]Okay, so what about a 1934A $10 dollar bill? Do you think it was worth anything throughout the '60s and '70s? I doubt it. Probably not even the '80s. Yet today, they do in fact sell for over face value. Why doesn't the OP's bill follow the same rules the 1934A $10 did? Why can't he save it for 30-50 years? It may have some value then. Okay, so I think I can guess what your next argument is... Production (because that is what I would bring up next if I was on your side). Let me save some time. Sure, we all know that there were more 1985 $10's printed then 1934A $10's. But out of all the banks I have been to in my life, they all have one common final destination for older style bills... The shredder. Not only are banks all across the nation shredding these small heads, but also, there have been 2 major sweeps of old currency. Once in 1990 when additional security features were added, a lot of paper money from Series 1988A and earlier were shredded. Then again in 1995 when the "NexGen" currency redesigns came out. And by "sweeps" I mean the BEP consistently reminding the banks to send in the out of date bills.I'm not upset at all. I love arguments like these. How do you think that after 100 years of banks sending in small heads to the BEP to be shredded, that it will still only be worth $10? Now that just sounds crazy to me. You say a lot that contradicts yourself. Think about it.[/QUOTE]
