<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fifty, post: 1058064, member: 24555&quot;]Does anyone know if there is an official policy that commercial banks are supposed to follow if they receive non-current notes. I have gotten a few pre 1996 changeover notes but only because my bank saved them. I know that old notes are still legal tender but doesn&#039;t the Fed want them destroyed because they don&#039;t contain the security features of modern notes? I&#039;ve done some &quot;strap searching&quot; at my bank in the lobby on non busy days and they seem to always mark to destroy the older designs that I return. I&#039;m guessing they don&#039;t check the straps and don&#039;t pull old bills unless received one at a time. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Personally I liked the older designs better. I guess it&#039;s what I grew up with. I remember trading in change and $1 bills to my dad for a $20 bill. He only had one in his wallet. I though I was rich. Having driven/ridden by the White House many times it looks more like the old 20 than the new one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
