I think $1 bills would have been more effective to search, especially since there are more years of printing, though many of them don't really have any collectors value.However, it is cool to have a 1970s bill.

You may want to post your bill finds in the Paper Currencies forum.

One of the banks I frequent has two 1950B ten dollar bills but they have been marked by counterfeit pens :(
I did get lucky and got a 1976 two dollar star note in AU condition from a bank a few years back :)

I stopped at a 7-11 on the way to a friend's 4th of July party and this was sitting in the cash register. It's not in good condition but I got it for face. IMG-20120704-00250.jpg IMG-20120704-00251.jpg

if the 1942 "war nic" does not have a giant mint mark above the dome on the back, it's not silver.
