i got this 10 dollar bill from a gas station with some change i received wonderin if anybody knows much about it,or if its worth anything. thanks for the help.
Even though it talks of a 5 dollar bill...and a different bank...it still may hold in your case of the 10 dollar bill. That is a pretty nice "given" find!!!
"...10) I have a 1929 $5.00 bill which says "Whitney National Bank of New Orleans." How much is it worth?
You have a national currency note. Its worth really depends on its condition. Anywhere from $40.00 in very good condition to $200.00 in uncirculated condition. There were many different banks on the National Currency Notes and they vary in price. The same applies to large size notes...."
Maybe you can ask a question about yours....I am just learning about coins...so I know nothing about the bills. Just trying to help....let us know what find out.
Good Luck,

"Are national bank notes still accepted as currency, or are they only collector's items?
Yes, any national bank notes still in circulation are legal tender at face value as a matter of law. National bank notes were issued from 1863 to 1935. They are probably worth more than face value to currency collectors, however, because they are very rare." http://www.federalreserve.gov/generalinfo/faq/faqcur.htm#4
Hi Dustin. The newest currency book I have is 2005 but it list the 1929 $10.00 bill as a type 1 ( the charter number on the left side of the bill is black, as opposed to brown on the type 2). It ranges from $25.00 in a.b.p. (average buying price) to $225.00 in uncirculated. And again this is coming from a three year old book now. Hope this helps.
I just looked this up in my copy of the 20th edition of the Standard Catalog of U.S. Paper Money (Krause Publications, 2001). National Currency pricing is based on state rarity (Ohio is rarity 2) and bank rarity. For small size notes, The First National Exchange Bank of Sidney is a rarity 4 (very scarce). Pricing is $35 above face value, possibly a little less because of condition.
