<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldFinger1969, post: 26081809, member: 73489&quot;]I mentioned in another thread that I added another edition of a U.S. currency book with pricing. I realize the prices are just an approximation but they are better than nothing. <img src="https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/smile.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> I find comparing the prices for the same U.S. bills 7-10 years apart instructive to see what has happened in the past.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>It got me thinking....<b><span style="color: #0000ff">what HAS been the trend in U.S. currency/bill prices the last 15 years or so since the Great Financial Crisis of 2008-09 ?</span></b></i><b><span style="color: #0000ff">&nbsp; </span></b>I know for coins we had a major bear market as evidenced by the PCGS 3000 Index which we have discussed at length on CT over the years.&nbsp; Went down sharply into 2020 and since has reversed.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Is there a price index for currency bills ?</i> Does anybody know how the U.S. currency market has done over the last 15 years ? Prices up, down, or flattish ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Based on my admittedly beginner level of experience and not someone who has access to The Greensheet or sees dealer prices frequently....<b>it appears that except for certain &quot;trophy&quot; bills that most bills in the $500 - $15,000 range are FLAT or even DOWN the last few years, maybe going back 10-12 years. </b>I noticed in the HA auctions that bills coming up for re-sale for the first time in a decade or bills similar to one which set the high-water mark...are going for LESS or at most about the same price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unlike coins (which can rise up with PM prices providing a floor) I didn&#039;t see any evidence of a bull market, outside of that nice rise in Large Denomination Currency lower-grade bills that we saw in 2020-22 by new buyers during Covid.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Any thoughts from the veterans out there ?</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
