Paper Dollars...

[goldencoin]

Hello,

I was thinking to myself that 2 dollar bills never circulate, and therefore, have a greater possibility if producing older ones. I would like to know what dates and mints to look for- plus any varieties like star notes. I would like a list of the most collectible $1, $2, $5 dollar notes as well as varieties worth keeping for those with access to a paper money guide.

Thanks

i was purchasing $2 bills from the bank for a while. reciecved almost entirely brand new crisp bills every time. nothing old at all. probably 1976 was the oldest. most banks will have new bills stocked.

That's a decent generic catalog for going back to the dawn of US currency.

A better reference would be

This book will give a better breakdown of the notes and help you figure out which districts are worth more, especially for star notes.
