1934-A $100 Bill

Postby hirbonzig » Thu Jul 07, 2011 11:22 pm

While standing in line to cash in some casino chips, I noticed the lady ahead of me turned in an old $100 bill. When I got to the cashier I asked if I could buy it. She said no problem and I got the old bill for face value. The bill is in fair shape, it's been folded over and over and has a few yellow marker stripes on the back. Dose this bill have any value over face value? I'm guessing this bill might be worth $101( like an Ike dollar coin worth face plus a couple cents).

paper money is hard to move. I had a bunch and pretty much gave it away at almost face value. I would say trade it to a collector for some silver or something

I know that it is worth at least $100. Search e-bay. My guess is that it ain't worth more than face.

Sounds too damaged to be worth anything special. But a cool way to hold money if you need to.

Finding the right person who would think it is spectacular is about 1 in a million.
How many people do you know who collects laminated lincoln cents,
besides me probably none. Someone would love to have that 100 dollar bill,
but you gotta find em.

Very little value above face. Neat banknote to own, but pricey. If you decide to send it back to circulation, I'd take it back to the casino where it should be easily accepted.

Otherwise, just imagine the fun you're going to have at a retail location or even a bank as they (and their supervisor) figure out what in the world you have there. Teenagers already look at me like I have 3 heads when I try to spend a $2 bill or Ike dollars.

Some of the districts are more rare than others, though. Then, if it's a star note, it's a candidate for saving.
