A $5 bill ... from 1950

Got it as change last night when I stopped off coming home from work.

Says "Series 1950 B" on the lower right below Abe's mug.

Is it worth anything as a collector's item?

 

$5?

I've got my fingers crossed for ya.

 

no. but i'll trade you a new fiver for it.

 

It depends on the condition of the bill, but since it's been circulated, around $5-$8.

Most coins and bills that are worth a lot more than their face value are either A) uncirculated or B) no longer produced (bills larger than $100, for example).

 

Only if Lincoln autographed it.

 

I love the people collecting the state quarters like they're going to be some treasure someday. They made BILLIONS of every kind, with the specific intent of having people collect them. Know what your collection of all 50 quarters is going to be worth when you die? $12.50

 

but i have the hard to get illinois quarter. take that.

 

You should go to Vegas. NOBODY has the Illinois!

 

if you make it to seattle, i'll show it to you there.

 

That just doesn't sound right.

 

Come on, it gives you a reason to show up now, just to see how shiny it is.

 

and the quarter, of course.
