Now inflation has taken its toll. Plus if the notes are damaged as badly as reported, there isn't even any collector value in them. |

The value would have been more than face. I mean come on money cut in to shavens now days, and sold in bags for over face value. |

Too bad it wasn't $1,700 in silver and gold coins .... now that would have
appreciated quite a lot by 2008 dollars. "MJKolodziej" wrote in message ... http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080602/D911SRFO0.html |

I have a ten from 1934 (series C, NY branch) with quite a few folds, no holes or tears, still pleasant to look at. I was given it in change for a twenty about ten years ago. |

When I was 13, which is back when John Kennedy was still president, I received a $2 bill as a payment for being a caddy. Cheap *******, for 18 holes should have made twice that. But I liked the bill and tucked it in a book. Every few years I come across it, now have it in the Bible so I know where it is. Have had it for 45 years now and every now. Obviously circulated, but in decent shape. just a momento I guess -- * /?\ /___\ -O=O- ^ AS & His Magic Hat A conclusion is simply the place where you decided to stop thinking. |

The best note she has found for me was a 1928 B $10 Federal Reserve Note. Its not a Gold Certificate, but in the left top corner it say redeemable in gold. I'm hoping she will find a gold certificate for me. |
