And I can't believe she didn't think it was real. I guess that's why she's working at 7-11 on a Friday night.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04399098868122212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469901.post-1138739751493132082006-01-31T13:35:00.000-07:002006-01-31T13:35:00.000-07:00I can't believe the clerk didn't realize what it w...I can't believe the clerk didn't realize what it was! I always watched for stuff like that when I was a bank teller. Most interesting thing I found was a 1934 ten dollar bill. That was 15 years ago and I've still got it.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08026901741592239194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469901.post-1138727028073670522006-01-31T10:03:00.000-07:002006-01-31T10:03:00.000-07:00I used to run across odd/old money occasionally wh...I used to run across odd/old money occasionally when I worked retail. I would buy the weird bills if I ever had the chance. I once had someone use a $2 bill from 1922 to buy something. Instead of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on the back it had a likeness of Monticello. And the seal on the front was red rather than green. The first time I ever got a weird bill was when I worked an ice cream stand in high school. I got this strange bill with really dark ink that raised my suspicions (for some reason, the ink on old bills seems to get darker). Then I noticed it had no "In God We Trust" on the back. In my naive 14 year old mind, I thought it was conterfeit too. Turns out, it was old and printed before they started putting that phrase on money. Check yours out and see if it's missing too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469901.post-1138725404314808592006-01-31T09:36:00.000-07:002006-01-31T09:36:00.000-07:00In the average curculated condition your is in, th...In the average curculated condition your is in, the 1957 $1.00 Silver Certificate is worth about $3.00. If it had a "Black Star" seal the value would go up to over $50.00. Great treasure for you! Those bills are getting to be harder & harder to find :-DConqueresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05774479570940056663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469901.post-1138722356537974912006-01-31T08:45:00.000-07:002006-01-31T08:45:00.000-07:00holy...crap...THAT'S AWESOME!Hang on to that, it's...holy...crap...THAT'S AWESOME!<BR/><BR/>Hang on to that, it's a collector's item (and not like a limited edition mcdonald's toy type of collector's item, either.)Derek Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17070955480737897609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6469901.post-1138721581060543922006-01-31T08:33:00.000-07:002006-01-31T08:33:00.000-07:00I was at work one day when a customer handed me a ...I was at work one day when a customer handed me a $20 -- it looked a tad strange, but I chalked it up to being very, very crisp and flat. Later on I looked at it again -- 1934.
