New design $20.00 star notes

[7557rb-migration]

I have only seen the new designed 20's floating around the north

end of Ca for about 3-4 weeks now and today I sold something at work

and guess what the customer paid me with. Star notes. Now I don't

personally collect them, but I know some of you do. Here is 4 of em

in consecutive order. I didn't like the new bills when they first

came out, and I like these funny looking things even less. Starting

to look like foriegn currancy to me!!!

I'll give you fifty bucks, cash, for the four.

 

 

Down here in southeast Florida they are elusive. I haven't seen ANY!

I've started to get some from ATMs here in Sarasota (No star notes yet though) and I saw a few floating in Nashville last time I went up there for a weekend.

I'm a firm beleiver in a good deal! But when it in my favor!!

$50.00 for $80.00 worth of paper. That would be a good deal, or is it $50.00 each. I might have some to sell if it is the last option.

I'm also keeping an eye out for these. Kind of fun. I like how readily one can find consecutive serial numbers with the new notes.

Thank goodness our notes are starting to get some character with just a hint of beauty! Perhaps we can have some real art return to our notes, as was common before 1910 or so.

Hey Hoot. I agree with you on the old notes. They had lots of character.

I haven't seen too many old bills personally, lot of pictures tho. And of

course I have seen Mr Robert Chambers ( SAH coin vault ) pushing them on tv. I think our early mint products had a better design and beauty than the modern counterparts. Of course there are issues today that didn't have to be considered back then. There was a series of notes that had trains and boats on them that I think are cool. And the old horseblankets would force us to get bigger wallets and pockets today.

A fashion trend started by the money we carry? Cool! I could go for the bigger wallet and pockets!

 

The only thing I find kind of strange about the new notes is how they feel. The paper doesn't feel like paper at all. Makes me wonder how good of a spitwad one would make?

It shouldn't feel like paper if you mean your typical wood cellulose paper, it's more closely related to cloth being made from a slurry of cotton and some synthetic fibers. And that's what the paper money has been made of for years. before that it was a mixture of about 75% cotton and 25% linen flax with a little bit of silk thrown in.

I think the star notes are selling well... at a recent show, someone had them for $40 each... I think they're pretty hot on eBay, too...
