<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bucephalus, post: 2379725, member: 73862&quot;]They printed almost $8 Billion worth of 2009A star notes. That would fill about 80 wooden pallets and weigh 240 tons. There is no shortage of them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That may be true for Series 2009, but that&#039;s not what was posted. Series 2009A LH* has about 8 million stars across 6 runs and isn&#039;t very limited in availability. Long term potential must account for inflation. If you&#039;re not making at least 2-3% each year you are losing money (buying power). </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m reminded of the 1934 $500 notes, barring a rare block they generally go for about $1500+/- today. Had they put that money into savings bonds or the stock market they&#039;d have $50,000 or more today. In 1934 the average annual salary was $1,368 and today the average household income is $53,657. $500 in 1934 is thus 36% of your salary then, while $1500 today is only about 3% of your salary</p><p><br /></p><p>Would you trade 4 months of wages now for 1 or 2 weeks wages in 80 years? Which is what people did if they kept new $500 notes in the &#039;30s and try to sell them today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
