found a nice 1950D series $100 bill. B-2 BA block. in rahter nice shape one major fold no ink or tares in it.

its nice and maybe i should what is your imput

even though you are coin people if you saw an old bill like this do you go for it ever or pass . what paper money finds do you go for.

If I got it at face value, I'd toss it in the safes with the rest of the hoard, if I had to pay over face value, I'd pass.

all my paper currency minus 1 bill has been all at FV. my 2 1934 series $100s my 1928 and 1934 series 20$s and my hoard of $200 in $10 1934A series bills. i just wonder how you all deal with old money. do you use it for trade bait or what

If I knew what "B-2 BA block" meant I might have a better idea.

atarian

ok
B-2 means the 2nd national Bank. there are 12 national banks all together from A1 to L12. B-2 means New York.

BA block is the letters on the bill . B9999 9999A is a lower number than B 0000 0001 B cause a BA block is always printed before a BB or BH or BR block.

Sequitur

Federal Reserve banks/districts:

coppercoins

Except they are called "Federal Reserve Banks," not "national banks."

I'd spend it. Very little of the 20th century currency has much of any value circulated...too common.

I got a 1934 $100 in change a couple of years ago in not so good shape and was wondering what to do with it. It is always worth face but any premium? My dilemma as well.
