Movie The Post and gold certificate

Postby henrysmedford » Tue Jan 23, 2018 1:07 am

I just got through watching the movie The Post and there was a scene where they were looking at the money from a lemonade sale and there was a $10 gold certificate in the pile. At least I think it was a gold certificate and if so could you still find those in circulation in the early 70s? So if you happen to go see the movie could you keep an eye out and let me know what you guys think ?

Franklin would have been ALL OVER that gold certificate if he saw it!

substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

could just be prop money that is based off the gold certificate, but id imagine there were still a small handful finding their way out of old coat pockets, purses, mason jars, books, safe deposit boxes etc

my mom found some US 90% in an old purse she hadn't worn in a few decades
