<p>[QUOTE="nickrapak, post: 381500, member: 4587"]Okay. If you (or anyone else on this forum, for that matter) is willing to pay $2 over face for any and all notes older than 1988A, then nobody will mark these "rare and collectible" bills. Yes, I believe that some older notes should be saved, and Where's George? doesn't allow ANY bills older than series 1963 to be entered, to somewhat counteract this. But okay, let's say your rule is applied. That ordinary 1988 series $1 will pass, unstamped, from person to person until it is worn out and shredded by the FRB. Same goes for the 1995 and older $5s-$100s, except with greater urgency. Face it, paper money collectors are a small (albeit slightly larger) portion of the population. Many people will not really give a damn about a series 1963 short run star note, and spend it like any other bill. So what now, do we employ collectors to check the serial, series, and plate numbers of all bills that go to the FRB for shredding? You can't save all of them, just beglad you saved the ones you did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
