[QUOTE="jlg1130, post: 1430350, member: 26655"]Hey all, So, to cut to the chase: A buddy of mine who works for a clean out/removal/disposal service, found a laminated $5 bill, amongst a bunch of stuff, while cleaning out a house, where somebody recently passed away. The bill was in a box with a bunch of other random junk that the family of the decedent didn't want. The bill is a series 1999 BB-B block note, and doesn't really have anything special about it. The note even looks like it was pretty well circulated, before being placed in the laminate. The note is genuine, as I held it up to light, and checked for the watermark/security strip. My friend wasn't sure what to do with it, so he gave it to me because he knows I'm into currency collecting......and now I'm not sure what to do with it. :too-funny: If this thing weren't laminated, I'd probably just spend it, but I doubt anybody would take it in it's current state. Do you think a bank would exchange it for another one, or is the note forever ruined? I can post pics later, if anybody would like to see it. In the meantime, ideas on what to with it.....and why somebody would laminate a seemingly ordinary '99 $5 are welcomed. Thanks for reading.[/QUOTE]
