<p>[QUOTE=&quot;funkee, post: 1728202, member: 37925&quot;]Because Joseph Barr had such a short term in office, many folks hoarded notes with his signature thinking they would be valuable one day. Despite that, a very large number of notes were printed with his signature. As a result, the notes have barely appreciated in value after half a century.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Packs of these &quot;Barr&quot; notes are not uncommon, still in uncirculated, original condition.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m confident that someone had several of these packs and spent them in your town. It isn&#039;t uncommon to find older notes like these in circulation during recessions, when people have to reach for their mattress cash hoards. So someone who was frustrated with pitiful returns on their investment probably spent these at face value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
