<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harrync, post: 2671933, member: 58588&quot;]Related story I just have to tell. Back in the 40&#039;s and 50&#039;s, &quot;Mr. Phil&quot; [full name Philpott - I don&#039;t remember his first name, everyone just called him Mr. Phil] had access not to just a bank vault, but the Federal Reserve bank vaults. [Of course, he was president of the Texas Bankers Association - that might have had something to do with it.]&nbsp; He managed to pick up things like $50 Federal Reserve Bank Notes.&nbsp; My brother once bought some notes from him. He asked Mr. Phil if a check was OK, because otherwise he would have to use his beat up $1000 bill that had taken him years to get out of circulation. Mr. Phil said of course he&#039;d take a check, but they didn&#039;t allow beat up money like that in Texas.&nbsp; He waded it up and tossed it to a teller at his bank, said deposit this. She said &quot;Yes, yes Mr. Philpott.&quot; Then he said &quot;I&#039;ll replace your $1000 bill with a nice crisp one - which district do you want?&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
