Hey I had first dibs!
I allways keep every siver coin I find, every Silver Certificate etc
I just do it for a collection of oddball things that I think that my Grandkids will get a kick out of and maybe study some history or even make them some money or they can do what I did and sock it away for their Grandkids etc etc I have pictures, stamps, toys and other small worthless junk that (1) will be worth somthing one day or maybe (2) remind them of how much I loved them after I am gone.
Anyway you slice it, "face value" is a bargain
TT

LOL! Agreed, you get first dibs. We'll take any "left-overs". :)

Yup, some of my fondest memories are of watching my husband "explain" the art and history, along with numismatic "valuation" to one child or another along the years. We're still awaiting the first grandchild. :)

It certainly is, especially as silver certificates, 90% silver coins, etc., continue to appreciate daily. That the $3000 is worth "more" is a "given", although exactly how much "more" depends on *many* variables such as: date, mint mark, condition, scarcity for coins; series, date, signature, etc., for bills.
That's why we find the insistant comments that this money only has face value to be odd. :)
I'll take the new ten- an old one is only worth a dollar.
