<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 4024899, member: 15588"]Based on what I found online, and the answers here so far, these bills appear to be nothing more than spenders, which is amazing when considering the relative purchasing power of $1 in 1935 versus $1 today. The 1935 silver certificate I have will purchase a lot less for me now than it would have for the person who put it aside some 85 years ago, regardless of condition. Strange that putting aside such bills appears to be a very losing proposition in the end. The lesson seems to be to spend bills as soon as possible because, not having any inherent value, they will just lose value over time. This doesn't hold for all bills, of course, but it seems to apply to the vast majority of bills from the 1920s to the present.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
