<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 531668, member: 66&quot;]Years ago there was a law that a certain amount of the paper money in &quot;circulation&quot; has to consist of United States Notes.&nbsp; These were the old red seal notes that were back by government obligations.&nbsp; Well in the mid 60&#039;s, so as to not have more than one type of money in actual circulation, the red seal notes that came into the Fed were replaced with a new series of $100 United States Notes 1966A and they were stored in the vaults and counted as being in circulation.&nbsp; A small number of these did get out and were valued I believe at over $1000 each.&nbsp; In the 1980&#039;s the legislation that required the United States notes be maintained as part of the money supply was repealed.&nbsp; Paper money collectors appealled to be allowed to buy examples of these $1000 apiece $100 bills but the government shredded all of them.&nbsp; They gave up a potential of a $900 profit on every note they could have sold. (I know they wouldn&#039;t have sold a tremendous number of them, but they still passed up a big free profit.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
