<p>[QUOTE="davedawg, post: 334198, member: 9026"]I went into my bank today to pick up a $500 box of Kennedy Halves (They order whatever I want, great rapport with them). Anyway, I showed them a $1 Star Note and told them to keep their eyes open for them and to set them aside for me. I also asked them to look out for the pre-monopoly looking money (sorry if that offends the serious paper money collector's, I don't know what else to call it. Well, when I walked in they quickly called me over to the teller booth and said they had 7 old $100 bills, the earliest dated 1974. But what blew my mind was that the teller told me that some old lady came in and deposited several thousand dollars into her account and they were all Star Notes! $4,000 worth of $100 bills. So, I picked up the 7 old notes and 4 of the Star Notes (That's all the money I had at the time including the $500 Half Dollar Box they ordered for me which I felt obliged to buy). Short story long again, bearing in mind that I have no idea about paper money, should I go back and get all of the $100 Star Notes and even trade in my old $100 notes? Two of the Star Notes are consecutive and one is 7 or 8 numbers away, basically the ones I got today are only 80 numbers apart in the last two digits. She said she would set all of them aside in the vault until I could eventually get all of them. What are your thoughts? Get all the Star Notes or keep mixing my collection? Here are some pics, by the way, they are all in crisp, perfect condition: Let's put it this way, I collect coins as a hobby, not for money making. Paper money, on the other hand, is something I will turn around and sell if it's worth my while so keep that in mind if you're interested! Thanks</p><p>Dave[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
