Yeah, I know it's currency. But for some reason the currency guys always hang out here... ;)

    I wonder where that has been for the last 70+ years or so?

    Decent condition too! Most of the '34 series that customers bring in are in awful shape, I tell them just to spend it.

    The wife's grandmother had a bunch of these put up and hid around the house, other denominations as well. The great grandson found some and spent them the others her dad found and took to the bank. There was so much that the FBI investigated the Mom and Dad. LOL

    Looks like an ordinary $10 bill to me. What is so special about it?

    It is a 1934 series.

    I got one like that in change years ago. Wish I had held onto it. I haven’t seen one since. Nice pickup!

    I like to keep old currency I get in my change. Even the series 1990 $10 bills are cool

    The bitch about that note is that it will have no collectible value for centuries but you can’t spend it, I wouldn’t either. Just 10 bucks dead money.

    Why is it not spendable?

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I don't think Jim meant that it COULDN'T be spent. I believe that he meant that you can't get yourself to spend it. So, in essence, he's right. It's dead money; worth nothing more than face, but too neat to spend.

    Cheers

    Very neat old piece of history issued during the great depression. I'd definitely save it and get a currency holder for it to preserve it.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    Worth putting aside. It'll never make you rich but it is cool. Someone found one of grandpa's $10 bills he had been saving and bought himself a a #4 at McDonalds.

    Actually, if I'm not mistaken the 1934 series were printed up until the 1950 series came out.

    You are of course correct but you can check the signatures to narrow down when they were produced. In this case it may have been produced after the depression so it may have been produced during or soon after WWII. Still a neat piece of paper money.

    My credit unions call me when those come in, I live in an area where we have/had lots of oldtimers that stashed cash around the house that gets found after they go to eternity. I have gotten a few Series 1928s, a lot of red seal $2s and $5s, lots of silver certificates especially $5 bills. Faves though are the two $500 and three $1000 bills I got more than ten years ago now.

    In memory of my kitty Seryozha 14.2.1996 ~ 13.9.2016 and Shadow 3.4.2015 - 16.4.21
