Wonder what paper money would say if it could talk?

Got this yesterday at the bank...

A spender really, but I took it anyway because this teller goes out of her way to save things for me.

Every so often you get lucky and find a hidden gem on eBay or being offered by a US online auction house.

I found this scarce note on eBay this week. It was listed in the Coins & Paper Money>Paper Money: US>Small Size Notes>Federal Reserve Notes category.

It was being sold by a US coin and currency dealer out of Spokane, WA as AU+ (no folds but some handling).

Charlton catalogue lists highest grade as AU. Paid USD $250.00 (Best Offer).

Hi,

I picked these up from my local bank today:

2 x 1986 $5
1 x 1979 $20 and
1x 2001 $10 FEC 7241523 in about good condition, but with missing circle!

They're still out there!

Happened to be at the teller for the first time in almost 2 years doing a simple funds transfer.

At the counter beside me, someone was turning in a pile of old notes (noticed the 1954 $20 on top) - the teller was asking "is this Canadian money"? Immediately I stepped in and offered to exchange the notes off the customer.

There was $83 in the pile, 1x1954 $20, 1x1954 $10 (DF), 1x1954 $10, 1x1954 $5, 1x1954 $2, 2x1974 $2, 8x1986 $2, 2x1937 $1, 2x1954 $1, 12x1973 $1.

Nothing remarkable in the pile (the 1954s and 1937s were in rough shape), but still a cool find at the bank by pure coincidence! (I've never gotten 54s or 37s from a bank before)

The teller at my bank is a nice guy who saves cool things for me. Found me a 1975 $100 a few days ago - not very good shape but I am not a picky collector.

The guy who counts money at my work knows that I like cool old bills so whenever he gets bird bills he calls me over and I get to trade out for them. Found a lot of 20s and 100s that way, a few fifties but mostly those two. Actually got this one on Friday - someone actually spent this at a store in 2016. I'm not complaining, though:

That could go under near misses, too. I swear I've had at least 10 bills in the last three days that were almost-radars with the final digit wrong.
