So, I got an old, old twenty dollar bil out of the cash machine today. I don't way "old, old" as if 56 years is ancient, but I collected coins in the past, and I know how rare it is to get a bill *or* coin (other then a nickel) in change that is this old. Espeically because a bill has an average lifespan of 25 months before it is recycled and destroyed.
So, here are the details: Its a Series 1950. The serial is D-19707249-A and the D represents, I believe, the same D that has the city Federal Reserve Bank signified. It is D-Cleveland, Ohio.
The treasurer is John W. *somethingorother* and no, it is not the John W. Snow that graces our bills today.
It says "Will pay to the bearer on demand Twenty Dollars" at the bottom, but it is not a silver or gold certficate.
Anyone have a clue whether this is worth more then 20 bucks, and if so, why, and how much, and where, etc? Thanks. Any help would be appreciated. I'm really more curious then anything at getting this from an ATM...
