<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 1627404, member: 12789"]I was at the credit union dumping my coin roll hunting rejects this afternoon and was asking about older $2's etc that they might have - one of the tellers interrupted our conversation and said she had some old fives that they have had in that branch for a couple of years since it first opened. They came from an older lady that found them in her husbands stuff in a box in the basement after he passed away - she had brought them in and the vault teller looked through all of them and told her they might be valuable - and she should take them to a coin dealer. She persisted that she just wanted to put them in her account since she didn't want to bother with a dealer. The lady had told her that her husband died in the late 1940s so these were saved before then. She ended up depositing over $500 worth and the vault teller bought several of them to save - she said there were gold seals, brown seals etc. But the rest of them have been there ever since - $425 worth. She had another teller take them to the drive thru window to give out - but she hesitated to because due to their age and thinking that people wouldn't take them. So there they sat until she brought up that she had them:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://scottishmoney.net/banknotes/usa/fivers30jan13.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>A bad iPod pic - the earliest note in the lot is a 1928-C, the last is a 1934-C and there is only one of those so it may have been one of the last ones added to this accumulation.
