How many of you have ever found a Silver Certificate in change? Please list the denomination & the date of issue.Better still,post photos if you can. Aidan.
I've found about (8) $1 Silver Cert's in change. Sometimes I get them from friends who use them when we play cards. They're not common, but I've managed to pick up a few. I think I've amassed about 15 so far. I'll take some pics if I remember where I put them!!!
I've been known to spend silver certs (and the occasional red seal $2 and $5), just so somebody would notice them and perhaps get interested in paper money collecting. They were circulated common notes that I'd pick up in the process of buying and selling. Last one I remember spending was a 57A $1.
I found a $5 silver and a $5 red seal from an Antique store I visit. They knew I collected coins! These are the first silver, etc I've found in change. SM
Starbucks my uncle, about six months ago, found one at starbucks. Otherwise i have never seen one in change
One time got a $5 silver certificate in change at the video store at Cannon Air Force Base (Clovis, NM). Still can't figure out what happened to it; am sure I saved it but I haven't been able to find it in my stuff since moving from there.
Only ever found two. Both from vending machines I had. One is cooler than the other. Can you see why? My only guess is it was probably jackeen! Happy hunting, Michael
Once, a one dollar certificate, I think. It was many years ago, and it wasn't exactly collector condition. I imagine that it's stored somewhere.
rex - the yellow seal on peachy's note means it's from the emergency issue of World War II, made to pay American troops in North Africa and Europe.
