My collection of bills are to the extreme in terms of grading. This heavily folded an dirty bill is just a little older than the $5 bill I featured last week which was near perfect. Since currency collecting is not my first choice I tend to but them aside only if I notice, unfortunately that is not often.
When I first started coin collecting as a child I never thought of collecting bills because they were too much money to just put aside. Then I inherited a bunch of $2 bills and tried to keep them. Unfortunately I needed to buy some stuff with cash and spent them all. For years I just did not bother. After collecting state quarters and seeing how quickly they added to real money I figured maybe try saving $1 bills. Soon after saving a few I got several silver certificates and thought I should try to collect them all.
Granted having a job and earning a paycheck was a big factor. Not being dependent on an allowance was great. Collecting coins or currency is better the more money you make. Also at the time I cashed out my paychecks so I got a lot of money to sort through at once. Slowly I started plucking out one note from each denomination and series. This went well until about 2009 when I went electronic. Having all my financial transactions done electronically actually saves me time and money but nearly shutdown my finds.
Change finds depends on the amount of cash you come across, the more cash = the more opportunities to find something. Unless I get a bigger paycheck or the bank changes its fees I am stuck with e-banking and see few opportunities to get cash.

Hi, been looking around on your blog and it is great, very informative. Just today I received a 1950 series D $10 bill back as change. Pretty good shape, no rips or tears with just a fold in the middle. The serial number is B 35436845 J bank of New York. Any idea of its value? Is it worth keeping or should I just spend it normally?

About $11.00 no big loss if you decide to use it.
Value of a Fiji 1975 50 cent?
Thanks.
Fiji 1975 50 cent about $1.00
