I have a bunch of silver and gold certificates. This is probably worth $10 on a good day. Keep it they are neat!! ---

I see all sorts of weird/old money, two weeks ago I had a guy come in and try to pay me with dollar coins, most of them were the newer ones but he had one from 1976 and he also had a morgan dollar from 1887. The jerk in me wanted to just accept it and swap it out for a buck at the end of the night, but I decided to be honest and let him know what he was trying to give me, because he was obviously completely oblivious to what he had. ---

I don’t know your situation but it made me think of that LOL. I love that show, and love those moments. Not the case with gold and diamonds here…I can assure you. I’m a frugal prick and often miss deals because I won’t pay a premium even. I wasn’t expecting retail but on his bread n’ butter (gold and gems) I would expect he has a market for them and wouldn’t gouge to the tune of expecting to pay 10% of retail. ---

if you buy jewelry. Lets say the price new is $4k to purchase. The company has mark up prices that can go over 300%. So that $4k piece, is not really work much at all. I would keep the old bill. Its just a cool thing that has alot of history behind it ---

I don’t know your situation but it made me think of that That or when someone has an antique cabinet from like the 1200’s that came over on a boat and has a huge historical significance. Typically it would be worth some crazy amount of money but the person decided to apply a coat of finish to it before they brought it in making it worth nothing. ---

When I worked at McDonalds when I was a kid, there was this old dude that always used to pay in old bills and coins. Mostly 2 dollar bills, but sometimes he’d use silver certificates and some really old coins, usually 50’s and earlier. The $2 bills were always mint. I still have a few of them. ---

LOL, probably the same old guy I used to rake leaves for when I was a kid. He’d always pay me in $2 bills and odd coins. I can’t remember if I saved them somewhere or spent them in my broke college years. ---

I always go through pennies and nickels in my change… $0.0261153 is the melt value for the 1909-1982 copper cent on September 15, 2011. $0.0597940 is the melt value for the 1946-2011 nickel on September 15, 2011.
