Not at all my area but I'm sure the experts will want pictures. I doubt if it carries much premium unless it has a special serial number or is from a short print run.
You can always get a top o the line museum grade holder & put it in a big custom frame. That way you can say ya got money just hangin around.
All kidding aside now.. Any more info would help in determining the value. Such as the signatures. Is it Buchanan-Regan or Ortega-Regan? What Letter is on the Federal Reserve Seal?
The question is vague at best. edited to add; Sorry @Wheatie44 if this seems harsh, but it's virtually impossible for anyone to give you usable advise without more information, and preferably, a photo or scan of the note in question.
With a few folds you say. I don't have my paper value book with me at work but the average was $7.00 for your bill.
I doubt it's worth any more than face, admittedly I don't know much about paper money, but I have a $10 star note from 1950 that I've researched and it carries no premium over face value, from the limited research I've done I think most of the premiums come with rare errors, star notes with low runs, or select pre50s bills
I just found a 1981A $5 note in my change (Ortega-Regan). Crumpled and folded many times, but I am definitely keeping it and it's going in my collection. The last time I got a 1980's banknote was 2 years ago. In this day and age where everyone uses credit and debit cards, it's harder and harder to come across any paper money older than 2006. This is why you see schools arresting kids for counterfeiting when they pay for a school lunch with a 1950's red seal $1 bill. People aren't used to seeing old money anymore.
There are no 1950's red seal $1 dollar bills. It was a $2 bill. I have a few 5's I can't bring myself to spend. 2 are almost low serials 00008500 and 00005428 and I recently got a nice condition small head.
