Thanks for the addition, tyude! Shoulda known that, considering I've recently taught a lesson on Presidents Pictured on US Money. Tell you what, they might be worthless to try and spend, but those bills are HIGH DOLLAR collectors items now.

No problem. I was looking at those on eBay yesterday and they (the graded ones especially) go for a LOT of money. I didn't know collecting money was such a popular hobby.

Yeah it sure is! I like all things vintage (hence the vintage baseball collection) and I also have several vintage coin items. Unfortunately, I don't have any bills, although I have had in my possession a Civil War confederate bill which was awesome. But it was sold. The best thing I currently own is an 1893 Indian Head copper penny. Looks like this:
Funny thing is, I used to work at Cracker Barrel and I was a cashier. I would bring a handful of pennies with me to work everyday and if I saw something interesting/exciting in my drawer I would substitute my boring penny for that! I have several wheat pennies from the early 20th century from doing that as well as that Indian Head penny. That's where it came from.

Lol, I don't collect coins, but I do have a wheat penny, I think I sold something in a garage sale and someone gave me a wheat penny along with some other coins, at the time I didn't even know what one was, but one of my best friend collects graded coins, and his best coin is a 1923 USA Buffalo Nickel MS62, don't know what that is, but it sounds expensive. I only collect cards, I have a lot of vintage and I would say my best card is by far a Topps Nolan Ryan/Jerry Koosman RC.

Keep up the search! It's a fun but money-consuming hobby (just like sports cards, I guess).
