<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daggarjon, post: 309260, member: 4230&quot;]very true oldbucks, while the eyes, likes and dislikes of every collector changes over the years - there are certain undenialble truths - the reserve banks shred, burn and just plain destroy notes not fit for circulation. The criteria for this is not just limited to soiled, torn or otherwise unrecognizable notes. These notes deemed not fit for circulation are also pulled based solely on series date, or age. I do not have the link, gatzdon (i believe) posted it in a thread not long ago, that lists the criteria for this. I do believe that 1990 is considered &#039;old&#039; or unfit for circulation - i woudl assume its because of the old design, and they want them pulled to limit the amount in circulation so conterfeiters have less of a chance to imitate them. So, this note, if sent back tot he bank, has a good chance it would sit there until a customer came in and recieves it in his change. However, there is a chance it could get shipped back to the reserves - if it does, we have a good idea of what would happen. </p><p><br /></p><p>As some young grasshopper pointed out <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, 1990 isnt all that old, and that &#039;some&#039; would love to see some of these notes thinned from the circulation pool to help increase the value of those remaining. All i am saying is that while we all hope our collective collections will increase in value, a loss of any remaining notes is just that - a loss to all. True, there are a million of this denomination and series left i am sure, but at what point do we stop and say, i think i should keep that note. Say this note is spent, 30 years from now, it manages to find its way back to the the poster. and he says &#039;Wow, this note is really old&#039; but now its been circualting for 30 years and is a rag. But now, he keeps it. If it is kept now, in 30 years it is still in very nice shape.</p><p><br /></p><p>My opinion - and its just that, my opinion. </p><p><br /></p><p>Numismatics is great, everyone can have their own opionions, and everyone of them is correct 100% of the time <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (at least in &#039;how&#039; they collect <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
