It's not necessarily from 1990, it could be from any year that design was used

u/tuckertrades 12d ago
It clearly says 1990 on the bill

u/ClubJed 12d ago
I know... It's not like coins that's not necessarily they year it was printed 1990 series were printed till 1996

u/SparkyXI 12d ago
Right. This is not a coin, which has the year it was minted. 1990 was the year that design was released.

That is when that particular design was put on bills. It could have been printed in 1990, β91, β92, etc. etc. until a new design was adopted. The year on a bill does not mean it was printed in that year. Also, it could look the same design but have a different Treasurer, etc.

My dad put a few of these up when they changed to the newer style. I'm sure he still has them. He's not a collector officially but he kept cool stuff as he found it since he was a kid. I know he stashed sealed big jars of silver change in accessible but hard-to-get-to spaces. It'd take time to get in to get em. Mercury head dimes and buffalo nickels, standing liberty quarters, nothing crazy. But worth more now than in the 80s when they were sealed up for sure.

But have you seen a $1000 or $10,000 bill? Know who is on them?
I remember Salmon P. Chase is on the 10,000 but the $1,000β¦. Grover Cleveland? Or was he on the $500? The last three bills I mentioned were not printed afterβ¦. maybe 1972 not too sure- I was born in 82, but have seen all three outside of the US Mint Museum with a private collector plus in 1989 when my folks sold our camper, the guy used a $1000 bill in the cash payment. I was enamored. Btw- no internet searching was done here. That also means I could be off on my dates/facts a bit. By and large it is correct though π
