Finding a few silver certificates years ago is what started me collecting!
I am the person you reference at the end of your video regarding the $500 gold certificate. The way it happened is a little bit different. I visited a Wells Fargo branch in Lafayette, CA about 2 years ago. I spoke to the teller about currency. He told me about a woman who walked into the branch a couple of months prior. She looking to exchange a $500 gold cert for common denominations. She explained that she found the note in a book owned by her late grandfather. By the teller's account, the note was AU. Since he wasn't a collector, I'm inclined to think it's closer to XF. The teller knew the note was worth money, though he didn't know how much ($20k+ in that condition). He wanted to buy the note from her, but didn't have $500 to pay her. He explained that he couldn't "borrow" the money from the drawer and pay it back later, or he would risk losing his job. Instead, the teller asked the woman to come back after his lunch, when he would have an opportunity to obtain some cash. The woman agreed to come back, but she never did. The teller thought she found out how much it was worth and kept it, or went to another bank.
I'm sorry to say this but I would have risked losing my job for a rare note like that Job's come easy. not 500 dollar gold certificates in that condition XD
Being a teller would make it easy to find those notes.
Best score I had was the teller fom the bank called me and said a guy was in there that had a $1000.00 and a $500 note... It was almost closing tiime and bank had to veriify to make sure they were real. They acted like they didnt want to deal wiith him. I pulled up and asked the guy what he wanted for both notes .He said all i want is the $1500. Hell yeah bought both.......

About 10 years ago. I went to get a birthday card at a local Pharmacy in a wealthy town. I guess my clothes weren't high-class enough for the cashier. So she hands me back my change trying not to touch my hand or even make eye contact, which I almost wrinkled up in anger. But the dark green of a $20 bill caught my eye. I turned it over and saw the date. 1950-E. Then saw the STAR. Needless to say I had the last laugh. I sold it for over $125 on eBay as it was crisp uncirculated.
Thanks for showing your video on the bills. I really never knew that you could ask the bank for them as long as they got them on hand, Charles
Excellent advise my brother! I do exactly as you have instructed and have been rewarded as you have mentioned.
My BEST score to date October 11, 2017 to be exact is when I went to my local bank here in the good ole' bay area, cali. I found a stack of 1's that had 63 silver certificates 1935e-1957. in there were also a rag 1963 c douglas Dillon, and 11 1963B barr notes. the other 25 notes were 2000's. Oh man I had a great day that day.
great video. thats real good info and very encouraging to know all those bills are still in circulation. thanks blueridge.
Very informative video. Thanks.
Thanks for showing this!☺
It is very nice to see a collector discus the history of the item and how it was display
Sick collection. Thanks for sharing
I'm actually the collector you referred to at the end of your video, regarding the $500 gold cert. The actual story is a little bit different. I walked into a Wells Fargo branch in Lafayette, CA. I was chatting with the teller about old notes. He explained that a woman walked into his branch, and asked to exchange a $500 bill. It turned out to be a $500 gold certificate in AU condition. Since the teller was not a collector, I'll assume his AU is closer to XF. He knew the bill was worth money, though he didn't know how much it was really worth ($20 - $25k). He wanted to buy it from her, but didn't have $500 on him. He couldn't just pull the money from his drawer and pay it back later, because he explained he could've lost his job over it. Instead he asked the woman to come back later that afternoon after his lunch break. During his lunch, he withdrew $500 cash to buy it from her, but the woman never returned.
Thanks for the advice, I had made friends with some tellers and from that they hold and look out for the IKE dollars that come through. Thanks
How much would be a good price for one of the hawaii 1 dollar note
Really cool info!
Thanks, great info!
Wow thanks for the info!!! I'm always cashing checks and the next time I do will ask the teller just that!!!
Nice video :) A lot of rare bills there.
Great finds at Wells Fargo i found a series 1963 $100 dollar star note
wow cool stuff!! did you find these all thru bank strap hunting?
Hell YEA !!!!
OMG thank you ! this makes my life so much easier
PS I started collecting dimes, any suggestions? things I should look out for key dates ?
would appreciate it thanks again
If you collect pennies and come across a 1943 penny it's worth over a thousand dollars
Nice positive ending Subscribed!
lol i began to recognize your voice without looking at your screen name. so which dates should we begin to collect? is there a beginning date to look for? i am speaking about old notes not about errors. which books or website links are for a reference to look for dates? thanks
Thanks I got a date tonight!
Thank you brother.
...but thank u for showing us your nice collection.
Should the Birth year be at the end or beginning of the serial number? Or does it matter?
what does the star mean?
if you have a bill with one of the numbers printed bigger than the other numbers is it valuable
Hi i have 3 dollar silver certificate with a star on the numbers how much are they now
This video you made how to found those bank notes is true in about two years ago I started to asking for those rare bank notes with start and haft dollar and every month he save for me so I having a lot of those bills note. So yet the key is getting friend with the taller. Good luck
Those are some nice looking bills.
wow, interesting!
This is the best thing every
Does this work with more modern, newer banks? Or only the quite older ones? Because I think that the older banks have more access to the older notes and coins, or am I mistaken?
+garrote seventy You'll find the same selection at either.
I have a good bit of Old and rare coins and bills
Birth years can they be any bill even the new ones
I got a 1966 $100 rednote
Do you collect star notes?
The star in the serial number is made when the bill is torn or damaged during production the bill is reprinted with a star so it is know that it is not a counterfeit.
I have 4 $2 bills that are in order on the serial numbers, what would that be worth?
Imakevids67 what's the year and bank made?
probably 4 dollars but there are a few exceptions and I do. mean very few .
$8
Hey I have a question, I've been sitting on a 1928 series B $20 bill. It's stamp is light green, and it's got two minor folds. Any rough estimate of the value? I can't find a stable price online.
I'll give you $40
I always go through the drive-thru because I have anxiety when speaking to complete strangers for extended periods of time. I'd never be able to form a friendship with a bank teller.
Step by step and you'll do great Blake.
@@kona1967 Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it. My original comment was made three years ago. I've made a lot of progress in that timeframe. My banknote and coin collections have grown considerably since then.
@@AidenRKrone 👏 👏
Teller gave me dozen crisp red seals & silver certificates but they had a black mark on them .at face probably only face value kept them look unc.
are star notes rare?
“There’s a Hawaiian note” can tell by brownish color not Hawaii printed on it🤪
any body know if ben franklin was ever on a 1000 dollar bill.I found one cleaning out a attic but I cant find a image of him on one but it looks legit.
YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME! YOU SHOULD DO THIS FOR A LIVING. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
what if you have a all red ink 5 dollar
It is indeed possible to find such old banknotes at any bank. But you have to be there just in time. Once they know you after a while they will even make you the offer to call you when they have something. The chances to create a relationship to your teller are much higher in smaller branches rather than in bigger ones like in downtown i.e. But on the other hand the chances are much higher at the bigger branches to get these old notes. But the driving and the time you need to invest in order to wait and to get the bills are much higher at the end than buying them at the coin store for a more expensive price instanlty. I think that makes it even. But it is fun anyway. I made the experience that the very old bills you get at the bank are in a very poor condition. Pre 1970 super rare and mostly worn out.. From 1970: mostly better, not worth to collect imho, but uncirculated. Bills from 1990 but stars: not worth to collect. (Probably in 50 years...)
I tried it last week asking for old bills right away this other tiller said I have silver dollar coins do you want them and then the other tiller said there 2 old 5s want them then when I was leaving that teller said give me your number I'll phone you when we get more
Whoa how nice of them
When I worked at a bank there were two or three guys that always tried to 'hit me up' for old coin and currency. They didn't want to bank with me ......yet they still came by monthly to see what I'd give them.
After a few weeks I absolutely dreaded to see them.
There was another guy that wanted me to order cases of rolled....fifty cent coins. I did it once and he purchased $200 worth in rolls. He also wanted 'free' fifty cent coin rollers. The very next week he brought most of these back and wanted me to order another case. I refused.....the shipping cost on a case of fifty cent coins is roughly $25 and the bank cannot return them unless the shipment totals $2000. So we were stuck with enough fifty cent coins to last for years.
Funny how none of these people wanted to bank with me.....yet thought nothing of asking for free stuff and tieing up my tellers with small talk.
Jimmy B That's exactly the kind of reaction I hope to avoid from coin roll hunting. I'm terribly concerned that I'll become something akin to "that guy" who comes in and causes aggravation. I'm trying to take precautions, but the anxiety is still there.
Very interesting perspective! Thanks for sharing!
How much cost 2 dollars 1786g?
Thanks for the video. But what about when you have bills that are thrashed and have 85/90 % and you can't really go through the treasury exchange deal?
My financial institution changed and said that they were going to still be the same and that's not at all what happened. Before it wasn't a big deal but this new group of kids they have these days.
any body know bout red seal $5.00 bills date on it is 1928 E?????
it's a constatation,not an insult.
30$
Hi, i have a 1976 $2 bill where the green serial number and stamp on the right side is off center (it's too low). I can't seem to find any videos that talk about that particular error. What do you thinK? Also, I have three $2 bills, 1976, all in sequence. Are they worth anything?
I forgot to add that the bills in sequence are also star notes
+Iamalwaysgodschild Are you interested in selling those notes? I'm new to collecting but 2$ bills are my favorite it seems like and that would be super cool to have three 2$ bills in sequence. let me know, Thank you.
+K sweeney You can get them new from the bank
I have 1976 $2 bills ,in order 2 groups of them . 22 bills & 36 bills in sequence.All in uncirculated condition. also have others years & types
Just went to the local bank and now have them on lookout for old currency, apparently they had some last week, but already sent it to the fed. Oh well, I did what I could, they're going to call if they get anything.
I wanna them. Will you sell them ?
I have a old $2 with red ink is it worth anything
Yes it's worth like $6-$8
Why not show the reverse side of your notes, particularly the "funny back" one you mentioned.
I got a $1 bill that is a star note from the year 2003 and it has the serial numbers h041 49 370
Do you live in North Carolina?
Found a $10 bill from 1929 federal reserve bank of Boston a national banknote!
cool
@1:43 BlueRidges DATING TIPS 101 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Have to have a buyer though
anyone still finding old bills at the bank, mine seems to have run dry a little bit? i was starting to think about heading to other banks in addition to see if they have anything...
GREAT VINTAGE $ 5 DOLLAR BILL !!!
I already knew that 3 banks are saving me anything that is old rare and they also order me a $500 & $1,000 dollar bills
Stacey Evans
They do exist but are rare:
Although they are still technically legal tender in the United States, high-denomination bills were last printed on December 27, 1945, and officially discontinued on July 14, 1969, by the Federal Reserve System.
The Federal Reserve began taking high-denomination bills out of circulation in 1969, after an executive order by President Nixon (rather than actual legislation passed by Congress). As of May 30, 2009, only 336 $10,000 bills were known to exist; 342 remaining $5,000 bills; and 165,372 remaining $1,000 bills.
order for you? wrong
I want to the bank today and dropped off $60 worth of Dimes. I have a pretty good relationship with the teller and he said "are you sure you want your usual stack of $1 bills I have a 1950 $20 bill for you." so I exited the bank with a 1950 $20 bill that is in stellar condition.
how do I private message u?!!
Would this work if I am a kid? I really don't think bank tellers would take me seriously. If you could reply it would be great! Have a great day and as always excellent video!
Collector 123 Probably, tellers tend to be nicer to children.
+Collector 123 I have the same opinion as the other poster who answered. People are generally nicer to kids. So being a kid may be an advantage in your search for rare bills.
I got a 1934 $20.00 bill fromm the ATM at my bank 2 years ago. Its in pretty good shape No damage or marks. What would be a good guesstimate on this?
+Roy Neptune $30 or so. They're not rare nor hard to come by.
+dadasmithywinkle I've searched through tens of thousands of bills and my luckiest find was a 1950C silver certificate...
YoloBagels Do you mean 1935C? There was no 1950C.
I go to a bank where the manager probably knows by now that I'm a coin/bill collector. Once in a while, I ask her for rolls of pennies and she is happy for me to buy a box. I haven't asked for any old bills- don't want to tempt my luck with the manager.
I have a $2 bill red seal 1953
poor tellers are being used for their bills
Lol
My dad used to occasionally bring the bank teller girls a bunch of pastries I asked him why and he said one day I may want a favor and they’d be more likely to help me.
What kind of bank that I want to inquire this $1000,$100, $100,000 old USA money. Please help me The value of this money?
mu banks just say nope to a silver or old notes. to many people here. they don't even stock half coins. plus charge to return any money
actually bought that one at a show 😂😂😂
Ooh sorry that I forgot to make a video, I'll make it tonight
what this guy says is legit information,,, ive been grooming these 2 kinda airheady but nice girls at wells fargo,,, they have one of those skinny folgers coffee cans. (not the fat ones) there on site just to stash good shit for me,,,, mostly susan b’s and ikes is the take ,, but ...none the less its proof that what this guys says is indeed true,, and there are hundreds of thousands of banks out there,, the smaller the town the better..... also.... in my experiences....
I found 3 $100 star notes!!!!!!!!
Do you have 1 million dollars bills
Or you can just ask the teller, they will just hand it to you, instead of spending months trying to get some one to like you. 😂😆🤣
I don't find much of those bills anymore I'm glad I was given a 1934 5 dollar silver certificate most of my old bills aren't worth anything poor shape
How to get u my email for pictures of rare finds I have , must see . I have no channel
Show the whole note .
@snakeboy63 my best friends mom worked at a bank for a few years and held on to all the cool stuff she got in
my best friends mom was
that star US note must be rare, eh?
I asked my bank and they didn't have anything interesting at all 😟
About a year ago U.S. Bank gave me 5 1974 $100 Bills! I was furious because nobody would cash them!!! Finally I went back and got my money exchanged but I regret it to this day.
+BiltonFriends who wouldnt cash them? Most places have a pen or marker they can test the paper with....the design is different but the paper is still the same.
WreckingCrewResurgen Seriously nobody would take the bills from me . At the moment I worked 65 miles from home and had no gas, tho I had $500 im my wallet. until I finally walked into a walmart and opened a family bag of salt and vinegar chips and drank 1/2 of a Voss LMAO! they called the manager over and she accepted A bill finally. She said she could tell it was real because she used to be a bank teller. I got lucky lol
Don't let your bank manager nor the tellers know that you have this TH-cam video account.
