<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Good Cents, post: 3602781, member: 100720&quot;]Yes, I hear that now and that is what I will be focusing on moving forward.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I put all the 100&#039;s notes aside, it was with the intention of finding the answers to all of these questions immediately, while I also knew in the back of my mind that if I needed emergency cash I could always grab these. But life gets in the way and it&#039;s been 6 years now, and I&#039;m just getting around to asking (and thankfully didn&#039;t need the emergency cash). Truth be told, the notes are nice and crisp, easier to store than crumpled bills, and in that way they are still useful for an emergency stash.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just glad I&#039;m finally learning all this now so I know how to move forward. I&#039;ve always collected what was interesting to me personally (have some $1 notes that end in 10-U which makes me smile because it looks to me like it says &quot;IOU&quot;. I have some $1 notes with other interesting things on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I saw a news article about the new $100&#039;s coming out I went and got the 5 UNC of the old style, and then 5 UNC of new style on the day they were issued (honestly, I was upset that I missed those opportunities for the $5, $10 &amp; $20 notes a few years earlier). It was the &quot;collector&quot; instinct in me that at times gets the better of me. It was the same instinct that made me buy every newspaper on the newsstands in New York on 9/11/2001 and 9/12 and 9/13 as well as a handful of New York postcards of the Twin Towers a few weeks later from a street vendor. I still have those postcards. I like things like this. Sometimes they make sense, sometimes they don&#039;t. (I gave 95% of the newspapers to a guy who was creating a 9/11 museum and was looking for rare newspapers that he couldn&#039;t find and kept the few &quot;main&quot; papers of the day for myself for historic value. I take them out every couple of years on 9/11 to show the young&#039;uns, show friends, family, to remember the day, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, like I said, my instinct doesn&#039;t always serve me well. I&#039;m just glad I didn&#039;t wait another 6 years before getting these questions answered! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you again![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
