Anyone know anything about old money?

[behemoth]

We found this, took it to an coin shop, he took it in the back for 15 minutes, came out, and said "I'm prepared to offer you 100 dollars for this."

I declined, thinking it was probably worth much more.

Anyone?

Crap, currency. I do coins. My Dad has recently gotten into currency. Any chance of getting a shot of the other side of the bill? Let me shoot it to some people I know.

Sorry slow loading dial-up hadn't pulled all your pics. Let me see what I can find out.

$20

This is the only item I could find on eBay for Central National Bank.

It doesn't help a whole lot as yours is almost 20 years older.


***Edit***

Actually google found this:

$5

ah alright, i just found one that was similar and posted

Looks like something after the Stock Market Crashed. At first I thought it was a Bank note instead of a Federal. But its in great shape for its age. Personally I'd hold out and let that price jump up.

[Thordic]

Its from before the stock market crash. It was prior to the Federal Reserve Act, however.

DO NOT sell it. Ill check with my brother he is a coin/currency dealer, and see what his books say. (yeah there are "blue book value" for money) It has amazed me what some money is worth. If the dealer offered you 100 I can almost guarentee you that it is worth at least 300

If new money is so hard to counterfeit, why don't people just counterfeit the older 20's?

Seems silly to spend alot of money in upgrading a counterfeit operation when the old 20's are just as acceptabel as the new ones. Or better yet, someone could make a buttload of money copying easy to counterfeit collector currency, then selling it to pawn shops.

double post much?

Heh, if that things worth a lot, anyone have any idea what those pure gold coins from the 1800's are worth? I have one in my safety deposit box, and so does my brother/cousin, and my grandmother still has several left in a small pouch. Just curious if anyone knows.

[mclaggan123]

coins and currency are real funny when it comes to value. i have some roman coins from when ceaser was a general and there worth less than that $5 bill. back before the federal reserve act money was made by the state, thats why yours says cleveland and the other is from utica NY. currency is valued on 1. how rare it is, 2. how good of shape its in, 3. collector wants, and a few other things. i would hold onto what you have and contact an appraisal company such as tiffany's of new york. there are many company's that do this type of work and they will tell you the exact value if it were to go to an auction. pawn shops and other collector shops are there to make money so they will give you 25-30% of what its actually worth. just do a google search on collector currency and see what you find youll be suprised. just let us know what its worth when you find out cause im curious.

I know that you can marry into it just as easy as a poor girl.
