[QUOTE="NOS, post: 7822691, member: 2098"]I had pretty incredible finds today. I went into a BofA branch to do a withdrawal of $500 worth of ones. Early on in the transaction the teller opened her drawer and I saw the back of an older crisp twenty. I inquired to buy it and to my shock she said she had $960 worth of very crisp old twenties. I was like, "Oh, my goodness." The teller went on to explain an older woman had died and her family had discovered $18,000 in cash she had stashed away in her house and kept secret. I don't know what the other $17K encompassed or what's happened to those bills but the family deposited all of these old twenties.

She was surprised to hear these bills would just be destroyed if they were shipped out and said she wouldn't send them out. So from the $400 sampling this is what I have: 1981A-1 (L-B) 1985-2 (L-I, L-L) 1988A-2 (L-D, L-G) 1990-13 (A-A, B-L, B-M, B-P, D-Ax5, G-Ex4) 1993-2 (L-A, L-F) Four of the D-A notes are consecutive pairs and all four of the G-E notes are consecutive: [ATTACH=full]1344333[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1344334[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1344335[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1344336[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1344337[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1344338[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1344339[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1344340[/ATTACH] So, pretty amazing!
