Before they started printing &quot;big head&quot; notes I went through a lot of money at work and rarely saw anything that spectacular in change.

Knowing I was into coins she told me about them. I bought them all, then bought a blackbook to get a rough idea and to learn about grading. Put em up on ebay with big pics, my grade and a TRUE explanation. Started them at a price to cover my fees. Well, they all fetched $26-28.</p><p><br /></p><p>Until the &quot;bigheads&quot; were firmly in place I pulled a LOT of older notes out. Easier to identify due to size. People have been pulling the coins forever it seems and now it&#039;s happening to currency.</p><p>How often do you see a thread like &quot;Got a 1969 bill today&quot; on CoinTalk?</p><p>It&#039;s kind of the same thing when you think about. The old &quot;bills&quot; are disappearing fast so people pull them.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s old and it&#039;s different and many people see that be it coins or currency.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
