If you had a whole brick of HPA's, would you put them all away or only keep a few. Of course after you took out the radar and the dozen inserts.......(ya right!!!) :'(

If you can afford to stash away a whole brick of $5 bills, you need to be asking questions like these instead:

Rolls-Royce or Bentley for my next purchase?
Caspian or Black Sea caviar for lunch?
Venice or Monte Carlo next weekend?
British Airways or Lufthansa (I mean to buy, not to fly on)  :D

I hope someday I have to make a decision as tough as yours.   ;D

HPAs are all over the place. Even if they were tough, a whole brick would flood the market if it was sold off any faster than a note a week. If you had the ONLY KNOWN brick of HPA notes, then perhaps it might be wise to hang onto them, but in this case, put your money to better use elsewhere.

HpA's seem quite common, i have found a few in my change. i would only hang onto the UNC ones.

I agree too.

Usually if you hold on to 20 - 30 MAX of the best quality notes you can find then that will be plenty.

For a really rare prefix I know some people who will keep an entire Bundle but that is your choice to make.  :-?

Yeah I'd hang on to a dozen or two HPA's. Then pick the Bentley. But I rather hang on to the brick of HPB's  ;) Right Huds?

PD  ;)
