'70s vintage $20s

[galenrog]

Is there any interest in 1974 and 1977 series $20 Dollar bills? I have access to a few hundred of these through my bank and they will hold them for a few days. They are circulated, and my best guess might be VF20 and a little better. Sorry, no photos. They were offered while I was making a deposit. Looked through for stars and earlier notes. No such luck. PM me with any interest. If you are from my part of Oregon, I will even tell you which bank branch.

I'm not a currency dealer, but I don't think there's a premium for those older $20s. You've already checked them for stars or any significant errors, so that potential treasure trove has been eliminated.

Usually, those from the Minneapolis district have the lowest number printed and these may be worth a little more. I'm sure that the ones from the major Fed Reserve districts of New York, Chicago, Atlanta and San Francisco and the most common. Also, I think these earlier notes don't have the magnetic strip embedded in them and may not be recognized by ATMs, slot machines, automated toll booths, etc.

Too bad you can't use those to buy what their purchasing power actually was back in those years. Sad thought, eh?
