Spend it or hold onto it?

I found this in a birthday card for me in our safe a few days ago... It’s from 1993 and in really good shape. I know absolutely nothing about collecting money though, but I’d guess at least someone on here does.

Since you lived so long without it, put in savings. Let the money work for you.

I’ve got some older cash like this too. You sure don’t see it very often with all the newer notes in circulation. I doubt they’re going to be worth more than face value any time soon. I honestly don’t know why I’m saving it. I guess it’s good to have some emergency cash on hand, though.

Typically, currency is more valuable than its face denomination when it is unique (a mistake in printing, for example), or is has not been circulated. This doesn’t appear to be either of those, nor is it especially old. If this were a silver certificate, then you would be talking something different. I don’t think this qualifies on any of those fronts. Sorry.

The most appropriate course of action be to tuck it into a stripper’s g string and then sit back stonefaced with a thousand yard stare while you contemplate the fleeting essence of mortality.

Yeah I figured, I just thught it was neat cause I don’t know if I’ve ever seen one. I’ll probably still hold onto it though, at least it’s never gonna be worth less that $20!

Unless you were already saving up for something, just spend it.

Ooh, that’s a nice example!

I’d day it’s worth right around 20 dollars.

Paper money doesn’t really appreciate like coin does, unless it has a desirable serial number it’ll never be worth more than a few cents over face value.

I’ve got this stashed away:

It’s somewhat fittingly hidden in a book titled Mankind’s Worst Inventions (on page 100 of course)

in 70 years that’ll be worth about $20. At least you won’t lose anything. You spend it today you’re def not getting it back.

I’ll give you $3.50 for it

“I’m gonna have to frame it, it’s gonna take up all this room in my shop, and I have to hire someone to keep Chumlee from putting it in the vending machine. That all costs money.”

This is what I came here to say. If you want to get the most of this money in decades from now, invest it. If you want something cool to show your grandkids 40 years from now, hang on to it.

I must be getting old if this is what an “old” twenty dollar bill looks like.

I keep 2 dollar bills for no reason other than I think they’re cool. I suggest you use the same principle. Is it cool? Keep it. If not, do something with it.

Haha, true but the purchasing power of it is way less than when you got it and will only continue to have less purchasing power. If you spend it spend it sooner than later
