1976 was the last run i'm aware of. the combo bill/stamp sets issued by the usps have done well. the rest of the issues is valueless. any of the morgethau sigs are doing well in better grades. i'm not much of a rag picker, so google will give more info.

I have one here that says Series 1995. I assume that is the year of issue. Except for being 'rolled' from laying in my drawer it feels and looks brand new.

Old-style look, centred engraving of Jefferson, lots of frou-frou around the edges. I don't understand why that style is easier to copy. I can't stand those Barf-coloured 20s. I send them back to the bank ASAP.

i don't understan why the bep or the mint don't obey the law. designs are required to change every 25 years. dumbass mint says they're afraid foreing countries wouldn't trust a coinage change. does that man the bank of england would be afraid to pay out on a roll of pennies someone cashes in? (freakin morons...don't get me started,)

What law?

No, they're afraid that people around the world would think that the "old" dollars would not be good any more (as happens when other countries recall and issue new notes as economic policy, or to fight hoarding and black marketing) and cause instability in the world. When the new "off-center" hundreds came out there was a noticeable effect on currency markets as people all over the world rushed to (needlessly) convert the "centered" hundreds. Check that currency site I mentioned. Poke around a bit and note how they are clear to state that all US currency is and will remain legal tender at face value. This is a specific attempt to allay those fears.

I found out within the past 8 years that we're the only country that honours its currency no matter the issue. I still don't understand why that makes old foreign stuff worthless even to collectors.

Bill Banaszak, MFE

not true of coins... though most foreign issues are so unless they have some precious content.

depends a lot on the fed district, sig combo, condition and market. some are worth as little as $1.25.

its currency no matter the issue. I still don't understand why that makes old foreign stuff worthless even to collectors>>

Does that mean my $3 bill with Clinton's picture is still worth as much as it ever was? ; )
