I&#039;m sure paper money experts here can be more precise as to when they started doing that.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I still see the old $100&#039;s on ocassion... more often than old $20&#039;s in fact, which makes sense since $100&#039;s don&#039;t circulate as much and thus last quite a bit longer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
