Recently I received in change the $5 bill with big purple 5 on the back. I seems a bit silly to put these anti-counterfeiting measures especially since the Euro is worth more and the $5 bill won't get you a gallon of milk in NYC.
Still it's not much of a change since the last one. Speaking of change I did get a few other pieces, an old nickel, a Canadian cent, and a Trinidad & Tobago quarter.
None of these are worth a premium but I still like putting them aside. I must congratulate some of the visitors to this site because they have found some valuable pieces. Errors worth hundreds and older bills worth thousands. While I've yet to find anything that special I will keep searching.Here's the stats...
