<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 3602101, member: 11668&quot;]In addition to what others have said: It&#039;s important to remember that notes don&#039;t go up in value just because they&#039;re &quot;old&quot;.&nbsp; They go up in value because the number of collectors who want them is greater than the number of notes available to go around.</p><p><br /></p><p>So in order to know when (or whether) your notes will increase in value, we&#039;d have to know how many collectors will want them in the future, which of course we don&#039;t know.&nbsp; If collecting early-21st-century $100 notes becomes very popular, then your notes could be worth many times face value in just a few years.&nbsp; But historically, collectors have tended to focus on lower denominations; if that trend continues, it&#039;ll be a very long time before there&#039;s strong demand for recent $100&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another point is that, while there are a number of collectors of current notes, there aren&#039;t a lot of collectors of recent-past notes.&nbsp; There are dedicated collectors who are trying to obtain one of each new block that comes out, or each new star run, or at least each new series.&nbsp; But while plenty of folks are looking for the latest Series 2013 or Series 2017 notes, almost nobody is trying to assemble a block set of Series 2006 right now.&nbsp; The collectors who were collecting a decade ago already finished that set, and the collectors who&#039;ve started collecting more recently are usually worrying about today&#039;s new printings, not trying to backfill.&nbsp; Again, it&#039;s possible that future collectors will behave differently, but that&#039;s not the way I&#039;d bet.</p><p><br /></p><p>So my prediction would be that the collector demand for 2006A and 2009A $100&#039;s over the next couple of decades will be basically nil.&nbsp; Unless and until that changes, they&#039;ll be worth face value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, that doesn&#039;t mean you shouldn&#039;t save them.&nbsp; I&#039;ve got one of each in my collection, because I want to have examples of each $100 design.&nbsp; But I wouldn&#039;t recommend saving them in the hope of selling at a profit in your lifetime.&nbsp; There are other ways of making money that are much more likely to work.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
