I was checking the drawer I use at work and saw that someone used this to pay for items. I quickly replaced it with a regular $5. I have never seen one in real life, let alone owned one. Looks like someone used a counterfeit pen to check if it was real a few times, bummer.

I rescued one a month ago. I guy was trying to use it in a vending machine. Lol I helped him out with a new bill. Lol.
 
Nice save! Don't you just love the green color on the back? It looks so different than the ink colors today.
My husband ran across a hundred, but the idiot spent it. :BangHead:
 
good save. you don't see silver certificates pop up in circulation very much any more
 
if I ever see one pop up - I ask if there are more..`..
 
Nice score on the Silver Certificate. There are still some nice things out there in circulation.
 
I bet that either some parent is now missing one from their collection or gramps needed some chawin tobaccy! LOL

NICE!
