I searched online to find out the <i>value</i>, and <i>the value only</i>, of these bills. I am only asking about <i>value</i>. Not to mention that you're basing that presumptuous comment on a single quote from my well over 1,000 posts on this forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>To repeat, my question was around <i>value</i> from the start. I actually said <i>nothing</i> about collecting. I didn't ask about whether I should collect old bills or not, or whether someone should or shouldn't collect what they like, nor did I even imply that the value of a piece should determine whether or not it should be collected. I was asking about value alone, because I personally don't find a lot of gratification in keeping $100 worth of wrinkled, folded bills around, but if I could sell them for more than face value I would. Nonetheless, I am still keeping some of them for sentimental value.</p><p><br /></p><p>My comments about "lessons" and such were based on the topic of value, not on collecting. The deterioration of the value of money over time fascinates me and the plummeting purchasing power of an 85-year old bill shocked me a little. That's all. I fully realize that people collect even valueless things. I certainly have some. I've been around this board long enough, there is no need to lecture me about the various philosophies of collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
