These notes are not rare and in fact I got all of my in change. Over two decades of passively collecting I got quite a few silver certificates in my change. Luckily since old U.S. paper money issued since 1861 is still legal tender then there is always a possibility of finding them.
Granted these are small size notes and pre-1928 notes were larger so finding them may be as close to impossible as you can get. This 1957-A series dollar was printed in the early 1960's so it is easier to find in decent shape. A billion and a half were made so unless near perfect do not expect to get rich.
Here's the stats...

A while ago i found an interesting way to expand my coin collection:The church I go to is a big old one and is a tourist attraction and there is a donations box. My dad works there at the church and he lets me buy world coins straight from their safe. :) Unfortunately he doesn't let me look though usable Australian money as they get that in the hundreds of dollars tough offertory. I had some pretty cool finds like a 1964 New Zealand Florin, some Australian one and two cent pieces, some american state quarters, tokens from a tax free shop in taiwon, a 1953 japanese 10 yen coin,some Australian Monorail tokens,a 5000 Vietnamese Dong coin (I though that denomination was available only in notes) and a one G(pretty sure its guilder) from the Netherlands and probably more that I've forgotten.
Over in America you are lucky as you get quite a few foreign change finds (but not maybe many right not many right now) whereas in Australia the only foreign coins I have ever gotten in my change are New Zealand cent coins and Fijian 50 cent coins (both are the same shape of Australian 5 anc 50 cent coin respectively).

--That is cool they just had an article saying that most errors and odd money gets taken from banks by cashiers and tellers right after they are delivered.
So I guess if you know someone who deals with money that is a great way to new finds.
