Message:: [QUOTE="Legomaster1, post: 3601823, member: 101260"]$100 notes last a VERY long time.(15 years on average because they don’t really circulate). Whenever someone spends [a $100], it usually gets put under the cash drawer, stored in a store safe, or kept in bank vaults.They don’t get around as much as $1s, $5s and $20s. With that in mind, it will take decades for the new blue colour hundreds to accrue any value over face. They are still being issued.Try collecting small head $100s (1993 or before)- those become less and less common every day. I also don’t think that people hold onto bills because they are new- if someone has a “rainy day” stash, it will contain whatever bills are available (at stores/banks/ATMs).I once obtained 3 consecutive1988A fives at a bank, and it was obvious that someone held onto them for a prolonged time period. Altogether, whether you have first issue blue $100s or final issue B&W $100s, they will be worth face value- even in the coming decades. Why? 1. Both types of note are common(millions printed) 2. Both series are still abundant in circulation (because they are a new series) 3. Considering the lifespan of a $100, these notes should still be available for at least a decade. 4. Very few paper money collectors need high denim./face value for their collections[/QUOTE]
