Really old money and stange coins

[relichunters]

So I need some help on Value of these.

I've had them many years, probably 10 years or so. The $10 bill is 1934 and in great shape, and the $5 is 1963 and it's like a red note or something. The coins are another country and don't know anything about those. Any help for all of it?

easy 10 yen japanese coin -- 1 krona coin (swedish thanks for the swede pat EU)-

5 dollar is "red seal" silver certifcate was worth $5 in silver before the USA came off the silver standard in 1964 --- the 10 is a "green seal" federal reserve note worth $10 in silver *in exchange ---the USA came off the gold backed standard in 1933 under FDR --to wipe out the nations debt he made ownership of gold coins illegal --they were to be turned in at face value -- (a $20 gold piece ay the time had about $35 worth of gold in it so the govt by selling off the gold piece "made" $15 on each coin and used that money to pay off the big bankers who held the us govts depression debts ) in exchange for the $20 gold piece you got either a 20 silver dollars or a "paper bill" with the statement that it could be redeemed for silver at treasury location (ah yes silver for gold -- to put in in modern terms being gold today is $800 an oz --so $20 gold piece was worth $800 in gold (in todays money ) and silver at say $10 --thus 20 / 1 oz silver dollars is worth only $200 (in todays money)---so 800 worth of gold for 200 worth of silver -- in effect it was one of the biggest robbies in history. --you only got 25% of what it was really worth.

I'm going to assume that you are a young man...because if you think that those bills are really old then you've seen nothing yet!

The second coin ain't strange (to me) it's a 1 Krona, Swedish. Copper & Nickel alloy.

[relichunters]

Excellent thanks for all the information.

So in general they aren't worth a hill of beans.

Love those old " green backs ", when I was stationed in Germany back in 76-79, I got a 1936 $ 20 from the bank when I cashed my check ( if only that bill could talk ). I owed a buddy $20 and tried to pay him with it. He said he thought in was bogus, when I checked the date he sure wanted it then.... But I kept for about 2 years before I had to spend it.

The 1963 fiver you have is worth about face value due to the condition. The 1934 "A" series ten dollar note is worth around fifteen bucks. I'd keep 'em anyway...

Relichunter - the lime green bank notes are valued slightly higher then there darker green counter parts. The mint had problems with the dyes used and a lot of old federal reserve notes have this light green color. It was an accident but millions of bills were printed with that dye lot so they aren't rare. And actually the government did take the gold coinage out of commission and tried to retrieve them with the purpose to recoup losses and made the use of them illegal. Or not legal tender and melting them down is a crime.

I spent time in south korea in the 70,s it is 10 won and really not worth much but they look cool I have A 1000 won note from back then Roi

 

[Goodyguy]

So is the first coin Korean 10 won or Japanese 10 yen?

I'm confused

 

[ivan salis]

japanese my opps (corrected it in my post) -- now then why did the US govt via FDR'S order make owning gold illegal --and tell folks to switch to the silver standard then? if not to profiet from the exchange differance and thus pay off the nations depression debt?

The second coin ain't strange (to me) it's a 1 Krona, Swedish. Copper & Nickel alloy.

"Sverige" is Sweden, in Swedish.
1 K is the denomination, i.e. 1 Swedish crown.
The motto translates as "For Sweden Today"

It's an ordinary circulation coin. At current exchange rates 1 crown is about 16 cents.

yep take in gold at $20 an oz in 1933 then along with along with the "big money backers" of the world revalue it up to $35 an oz in l934 (hellva nice racket) -- producing a "instant" $15 an oz in "profiet" margin --amazing isn't it --and they gave normal american citizens $20 worth of silver in exchange for the $20 gold pieces which were now worth $35 an oz each -- however only the govt could profiet by it as it made owning gold illegal for "private citizen" (ie the little man) they used the "instant wealth "to get rid of the national debt that the "money brokers" held over the US GOVTS HEAD. thus balancing the books for the wealthy's bad
management of the 1929 stock market and the fiscal crash that followed by watering down the nations money from the gold standard to silver .

Had the price of gold been raised in the late 1920's there would have been no depression, thus no need to go off the gold standard.

I agree with Ivan on this history lesson.
