The $20 bills are worth a little more than $20 if they are star notes.

a friend of mine works at a bank and found 4 old design $20 bills (1977,
1985, 1988, and 1990) in reletively new condition, are they worth anything? Back in the late 80's, I found a 1950B series $20 bill at work, in very nice (XF to AU condition). I swapped it out and kept it. I called a coinshop at the time and asked how much it was worth. He suggested spending it.... I didn't, and still have that note today. Still worth VERY little, if any, over face. So, if you are a collector, and can afford to eat up $80 for your collection... Then keep them, but they'll probably never make you rich in your lifetime... but, they're neat to have! Robert Shaw -- Does olive oil really help with corroded coins?

a friend of mine works at a bank and found 4 old design $20 bills (1977, 1985, 1988, and 1990) in reletively new condition, are they worth anything? To a collector, slightly over face value. That being said, bear in mind that the amount over face goes up / down appropriately in relation to these three factors: 1) How much over / under "relitively new condition" they actually are; 2) How badly the collector wants them; and 3) How much spending money the collector is willing to let loose of. I would suggest, barring that your friend's in dire need of financial funds at the moment, have him/her go to a local Coin Club meeting and / or coin show with them. If finances are trully an issue, feed the family first. 8-| - Coin Saver |

If you had taken that $20 and invested it, it would be worth $93 today (at the average return of the stock market). Meanwhile, $20 back then has dwindled to $13 today in purchasing power due to inflation. But it's still kind of cool, I guess... -- Bob |

I've saved quite a number of notes with unusual serial numbers. I have a bill
that ends with six 9's, and lots of bills that have 5 of the same number. |
