[QUOTE="nickelsorter2017, post: 3440064, member: 87853"]This doesn't diminish your find, and they're fun to get, but... there's a reason people didn't collect $20 bills in 1934. With purchasing power now of a lot less than 5% of back then... being kind it would take 20X face value to break even, ignoring interest, if you had saved the 1934 in 1934 until today = $400 from the collector market. It's one thing to save a 1934 buffalo nickel and need $1.00 to break even... an actual possibility if your nickel was a 1931 S in nice circulated condition. I guess my point is, if there is a point, saving pennies and nickels affords the best opportunity to turn an actual profit over original purchasing power. Unless you find silver or 1934 banknotes in collectible condition :)[/QUOTE]
