<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gatzdon, post: 303733, member: 8247&quot;]My guess is that the rate of incidence for older notes such as legal tenders, silver certificates, gold certificates, etc... is low enough that it&#039;s more cost effective to kick them out with the counterfeits and manually verify their genuineness.&nbsp; That&#039;s why I think it would be more cost effective for the FRN and the US Treasurer (for notes that are obligations of the US Government) to use the BEP&#039;s website to re-sell these notes, even if they resell them in bulk lots.&nbsp; If they destroy the note, they get nothing for it.&nbsp; If they sell it, the get more than face value and it&#039;s more than likely still removed from circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always see the statement that the US Treasurer meets the obligation to keep a minimum value of US Notes (legal tenders) in circulation via red seal $100 bills.&nbsp; This makes me wonder if they do in fact send small size $100 legal tenders back out into circulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
