Thanks for the info. I remember my dad trading his paper cash for gold as instructed on the bills themselves. He still has a stack pf those useless notes because I seriously doubt Uncle Sam will keep that pledge. Those were the good ol’ days. If silver goes through the roof I am getting a scuba ourfit to get all those coins that fell out of my boat. I buy silver every month just a few here and there. I still havent seen any recovery really. Obama’s rein I saw it at 47 an ounce. All 2019 it was about 20. I just checked. It was up to 30 an ounce. I ought some more just for the heck of it. There goes that 600 ebt card I got.
You might check the quality of those old bills (are they in good condition?) there is a market for them, value depending on condition, denomination, year printed, where it was printed etc. There is probably more value in that paper than you can get asking Uncle Sam to give you $5 worth of gold for a $5 old bank note.
