Message:: [QUOTE="NOS, post: 3389210, member: 2098"]Oh, I plan to hang onto it or see to it that it goes to another collector if I decide to let it go at some point. Two weeks ago I received a 1969D $1 note from a bank; on Thursday I found a rare 1969C $1 note from another. They are out there; it just comes to being in the right place at the right time. Dealers will tell you they're only worth face value but $100 1990 notes in Mint CU condition can be worth more than face value but to the right collector. Examples would be from someone who is looking for a series example of the denomination or is looking for a specific block or district (although, block and district collectors are said to be rare for $100 notes due to their face value). [ATTACH=full]900379[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]900380[/ATTACH] About 60% of the time when I ask a teller at a bank if he or she has any "cool old bills" I will walk away with something of interest. I picked up these old hundreds quite recently. Sadly, I can't justify hanging onto every old $100 note that I come across.  The A-A and F-B I plan to trade out at a nearby casino; the G-A I plan to hang onto for a while as a crisp series example; I may hang onto the L-A for a while as a novelty since worn 1990 $100 notes don't turn up too often. I ponder about the life it's had since it's clearly been allowed to freely circulate for a good while even though these have been actively sought for destruction since 1996.[/QUOTE]
