salmon Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 My father in law has collected these bills and gave these to us. Just wondering if anyone else collects these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 My dad....who's in his 70's....did the same and gave them to Debbe and I when our kids where born. A couple of years ago we gave half of them to our daughter when our grandson was born. Our son will get his half when he has a family. I told my daughter to pass them on when she has grandkids. Hopefully by then they might actually be worth something. Right now it's just a fun family tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 My wife stashed some away when they were discontinued but I don't recall the denominations or how much she has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 at most recent trading, i'm betting they are worth $188. i'd keep them to pass on down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky or Specks Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Not bills but I just got some circa 186-70 east coast colonial pennies. One for each of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 My mother and sister both collected mint $1 and $2 bills, so we have lots around here.. as well as Centennial dollar bills... and as Steve points out are worth face value on any good day. Now King George $10 bills are another story and I won't say how many of those I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 My old man also has some American bills from before confederation I believe. They are hand signed and are for individual states not the united states of america. They have been passed down to him and as far as I know he has never had them appraised. He tried locally once but the local guy said he didn't have a clue and referred my dad to someone in Toronto. If you know my old man driving on a big highway...the 401...is like krptonite to superman so he never pursued it any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danc Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Cold up there... Yup. It's either -30 or snowing and milder. Only time I leave the house is to go to the beer store. That's where my $20.00 bill broke in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
