How come this 2009 Series 1$ Bill looks like it was printed on old paper money. It's the same color as a few 1957 Series 1$ silver certificates I gave to my dad. And why.
Ok I thought I'd just ask because I've heard of some 2009 series Poppin up with silver certificates also. So I thought maybe it didn't get it but maybe it was printed on the old paper.. instead of the new that was all. It looks like it. Thank you definitely. Also this other one I have it in the link also I have.
No.. I dont think that's possible. The BEP does not reuse old currency in that manner. Where did you hear this? Your dollar bill has just been circulated well.
I have old, heavily used bills look like that. It's a cotton paper fabric. It gets worn over time. Most of the time when it gets worn banks remove them from circulation and they get replaced. So many times people don't see the more heavily worn bills, so when one see's one they think something is wrong or an error, etc. But it's just a heavily worn bill which probably would get removed from circulation next time it hits the bank. I keep all my ones until they get to $100 and I turn them in for 20s or 50s. So I see and sort through all my ones. I see a lot of worn 1s and other bills. One just has to pay attention more. Think of what happens to money. You find it on the ground, wet, dirty, stained, etc etc. That can change the color of money. How many ppl used that bill ... did all of them have perfectly totally cleansed hands? how does anything get crinkled and torn like that ?
Ok, I just seen a few all over Google from 2009 series that we're printed wrong. But now I know it's just a really used dollar bill. Thank you very much. Appreciate that.
Just a heavily circulated banknote- as it has minor pieces missing. I come across 1990s $1 notes looking like that all the time.
