<p>[QUOTE="wacky1980, post: 1296436, member: 32383"]i would say that, of all the pre-1990 bills, the ones i see most frequently are the 1963 series (and the A and B series as well). i have tried to think on it and figure out why this would be, and the only conclusion i can come to is that the older notes are coming from collections or hoards owned by people that can no longer afford to keep them. how else would a 1974 series $10 or a 1950 $100 end up in my drawer, in better condition than most of the '06 and '09 bills? it had to be kept somewhere secure and protected for a long time. where else but inside a vault or collection?</p><p><br /></p><p>also, being in the rural area i'm in, i would guess that i do have greater access to a pool of resources that isn't as heavily scoured as a more urban area. i know of about two people that frequent my bank to look for finds, and they don't come by very often.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
