<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2430204, member: 27832&quot;]My casual impression is that banks actively fish out &quot;old and worn&quot; currency and return it to wherever bills go when they die. A few years back when I was busy searching for silver halves, I remember seeing a bank teller with a thick wad of what looked like older (pre-redesign) bills; I still get a twinge of regret for not asking after them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I assume that there are still plenty of old bills stuffed under mattresses (literally as well as figuratively), and that they&#039;ll occasionally get turned in at banks. They&#039;re probably harder to <i>spend</i> now that the design has changed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your best bet might be to make friends with as many tellers as you can, and have them keep their eyes open for you...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
