<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Texas John, post: 1156298, member: 25813&quot;]Small-portrait notes ($5 and up) are under an &quot;actively withdraw&quot; rule. That means whenever they turn up at a bank, the bank is supposed to remove them from circulation and return them to the Fed for destruction. This is true for all other types of &quot;obsolete&quot; currency as well, and is regardless of condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Banks are allowed to re-issue them on an as-needed basis, however, and it&#039;s ultimately up to the individual bank as to how strictly it follows the rule. Nonetheless, most small-portrait notes that end up at a bank get withdrawn and destroyed, so the ones you get in circulation usually lurked in a book or hoard before being spent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
