Is it me or are all of the older style $ 20 gone...

Peaceman

I know that the government is replacing them with the new style but I haven't seen ONE in months..... I wonder what 50 consecutive older Unc. $ 20's will bring on ebay......

BurritoGrande

I cannot remember the last time I saw one of the old 20's.

Also, I have really come to like the new, new 20's. I like the color. I didn't think I would.

Still lots of them in New England. I got $300 from an ATM today, only 4 of the new style $20s.

nolimitz

Rarely get the new ones here in Id.

I agree. I don't get any $20 Saints or Libs in change any more

BDP

Old twenties as in the big head style from 1996 or the original style? and just to let you know, unless you have a rare block or a special serial number, a Unc. 20 will bring only a small premium over face, even if that. even if they are in consecutive order...they're really not that rare.

Peaceman

ok... now THIS... I don't get.... I've seen 2-3 of these..... or THIS.... I've got five 8's in a row once....

note to self..... look at all new currency......

BDP

Peace,


the high price in the first link can be attributed mostly out of stupidity. Simply put, that bill is not worth that much. this shows the hype graded currency can have, which in alot of cases makes a note go for more than what it's really worth. yes, Third party grading isn't looked upon too highly among collectors. but thats for another thread.

the second link highlights how much people are willing to spend on special serial numbers. as you can see, solid digit bills bring high premiums.


if you have any more currency related questions, please post them on the currency board. we're nice people!

Still lots of them in New England.

I can vouch for that here in Boston. It's about 50-50.

The Fed eats them up when they go thru the system

Deadhorse

Wait a minute! Just yesterday I got 20 $100 bills, brand new, still in the fed wrapper, all sequential from the bank.

Are you guys telling me they are worth more than $2,000 in that manner?

Seriously??

kranky

Where I live, about 15% of the $20s are the old style.

deadhorse, I don't understand what you are asking.

northcoin

Yeah, nobody ever gives me those old style $20 Libs (or even the more modern Saints) in change anymore either. What is this world coming to?

Shamika

If you are talking about the pre-1996 small head style $20, the answer is no. I can't remember when I last saw one.

LanLord

A couple days ago I got a whole bunch of the older (new) twenties at the ATM. What I would really like to find is a bunch of the older (old) twenties just to put away. But then I collect just about everything these days.

Placid

Put one on eBay and see how much it sells for.

CarlWohlforth

I still get plenty of the "older" ones. I spend them first and keep the nice new ones for later. Another case of good money driving out the bad

Neptune

is it true that the new ones have the chip inside?

no. unless atleast one of them has a special serial number, they are worth no more than face value

atarian

I see less of them at my job last one being a 1929 $20 . but now its like once or twice a month

LALASD4

I got 3 old $20 in my pocket now but no new ones.

Also I have 200 mostly consecutive # $1.00 bills that starts with 88888 if anyone is interested.

mgoodm3

Just checked my wallet: three old, no new.
