That's worth considerably more than $1,000 to a collector

Who writes a blue 9 in pen on a $1000 bill? Did he have 9 or more of them at one time?

I wish they still printed them. It's such a hassle carrying around a wad of $100s.

A quick Google search says:

"Most 1934 series and 1934A series $1,000 notes are worth around $2,125 in very fine condition"

I'd say it's fair condition so best I can do is $50

[-] styx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

$75, and last offer.

That's over $22000 in today's money https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl

They seem to sell for around $2000-5000 on eBay, so not a solid investment.

I would never give this up. That person must not be in the best financial situation

Weird they printed these out when the dollar was worth more. Now the dollar is worth less bigger bills make more sense than ever.

They definitely would, thank goodness we're heading toward a cashless society :P

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Cashless as in credit cards or poor...

[-] SrElsewhere@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What about graft and payola? How would politicians get paid in a cashless society?
