Old Currency

I recently came across a 1934 and a 1950 twenty dollar bill and no, I didn't just open my graduation envelopes. Should I hang onto these or just spend them as the twenties they are?

Hang onto them. The 50 model may not be worth much more than the 20, but it's already a long way toward being worth something more than a new one. If nothing else, pass it on to the next generation.

The 34 should be worth more than 20 at just about anywhere.

Those are probably "silver certificates" if I remember my old money? Of course for me the 50's stuff would be current!

Not sure of their value past the denomination but they do have quite cool graphics, very different from today's bills.

Would love to see them if its not illegal----or a huge bother?

If the 1934 $20 bill is not in perfect condition it is only worth $20. Unless.....(see link) You can display them or pass them on.
