[QUOTE="clembo, post: 240279, member: 8033"]Not necessarily true. One has to know what he/she is looking for. I've told my story before about when I ran a truck stop. Saw at least $12,000 in cash every day that's why I started collecting currency and I started with star notes. I soon realized how expensive that could get as I frequently saw $100 or more in star notes a day of ALL denominations. So I did some reading and started pulling the notes with low printings and older notes. There are a few $1 notes that get large premiums due to low printings. Factor in that and the fact that a $1 note gets used a lot so it gets shredded much sooner than a $100 note. Yes, I do have some higher denomination notes. I completed the 1996 $20 and $50 district sets in XF-CU out of cash at work. The most valueable of all of those is the AH-* twenty. Only 640,000 printed. It's like mintages on a coin. My best $1 notes? 1999 F-*. Pulled two CU notes out of a fresh pack. 640,000 printed and valued at $85 each. Was worth my 2 bucks. Currency can really be a ball if you know what to look for.[/QUOTE]
