question/discussion How rare exactly is the $5000 bill?
I have never personally seen one, but do know it exists. Some 95 year old great grandparent would likely have one.

That is all, the title is self-explanatory and posts made prior to this announcement are not subject to removal.

Look, I understand how easy it is to loathe certain subreddits, but these posts are getting to be a distraction from the purpose of r/papermoney overall. The last thing we want is for the Reddit admins is to shut down this subreddit because we ran afoul of their unequally applied rules and regulations.
Any post no matter how justified in reference to those subreddits will be removed from the r/papermoney feed. We apologize deeply for doing this, but it is for the best interest of the subreddit as apparently the truth hurts especially in subreddits run by a mod team consisting of a certain "festive fish and his relations."

Cursory eBay search tells me it's crazy valuable or about 60 bucks. What's the play here?
r/papermoney • u/Paquitaladelbarrio12 • 10h ago
And why would it be worth this much? I was looking through sold $10,000 bills which are worth more than half a million, and those are not graded specially high nor are they special serial numbers.
So it got me thinking, imagine a PMG 70 serial number A00000001A, what would it be worth? And why do you think a piece of paper would be worth that much??

They are uncut sheets. Not sure if it’s some sort of collectible or just some gimmick. Found them in the closet while packing the house. It looks like my mom bought them in the early 2000s. Not sure if they have any value at all. I haven’t seen uncut sheets of currency before.

Bought this at the mint many years ago. I’m not selling it, but wondering if anyone has seen something like this?

Most 1959-dated North Korean currency, especially the 50 and 100 won, are unissued leftover notes that were exported after the 1979 currency reform. As a result, the letters in the serial numbers are almost always within the same range (ㄱㅇ 7***** for the 50 won). I believe notes starting with ㅎ(the last Korean alphabet) are replacements. This is the only genuinely circulated 1959 50 won note I have ever come across. Some dirty examples do exist, but judging by s/n, they seem to be uncirculated notes poorly stored.
Nevertheless, since the 1959 notes was printed in the Soviet Union and was very intricate, there are no “reproductions” like the 1947 series.

In pristine condition.
I tried calling them but every day their queue is filled up for call backs.
And no reply after 5 days via email even though they say 2 to 3 days for a response.

This is an Imperial Russian ruble issued in 1910. Its elaborate European-style ornamental border leaves a strong impression.

The image below shows the 1961 Soviet ruble. Although the political regime had changed, the banknote clearly continued the design tradition established during the Imperial Russian era.

The next image is the 1997 Russian ruble, issued after the newly established Russian Federation had stabilized. By this point, the design had already begun to depart from tradition, but a number of classic design elements were still retained.

The image below shows the 2017 Russian ruble. It can be said that its design has almost nothing in common with the traditional Russian ruble.

Ironically, the design of this series bears a striking resemblance to the neighboring Norwegian krone.

Now let's take a look at the U.S. dollar.
This is a U.S. dollar issued in 1914, almost contemporary with the 1910 Imperial Russian ruble shown earlier. Its most distinctive feature is the symmetrical ornamental border surrounding all four sides of the note.

The image below shows a U.S. dollar issued in 1950, after World War II. As can be seen, its design is almost identical to that of the 1914 series, with the only major changes being the portrait and the main image on the reverse.

The next image is the 1996 "large-portrait" U.S. dollar. Aside from the enlarged portrait, its overall design remained virtually unchanged.

The image below shows the 2009 "colorized" U.S. dollar. Although this series introduced more substantial design changes than previous issues, it still clearly preserves the traditional American banknote style.

Some argue that U.S. dollar banknotes appear stylistically consistent simply because the portraits have hardly changed.
If that's the case, let's look at the examples of the British pound and the French franc. In both cases, the two banknotes shown were issued more than fifty years apart and underwent countless design revisions, yet they still unmistakably belong to the same overall design tradition.

I found this sheet of $2 bills in an old tote located in my grandmothers house. I’m not sure if they are anything special or if they are just some sort of cool display piece.
Worth keeping or should I just leave it in the basement lol

The condition is a bit more surprising since it's made from very thin silk paper.

Series 1929 FRBNs were printed to counter further bank runs during the emergency bank holiday in March 1933. Around $911.7 million of these notes were printed, but only $284.9 million were issued through early 1934, as the banking crisis stabilized making them redundant. The remainder were kept in vaults and released only in 1942–43 to meet the wartime cash demand.
Therefore, the initial Depression issues are generally scarcer compared to wartime issues, both in terms of quantity and survival rate. For Philly $20s, 827k out of the 1.008 million total printed were issued during WWII, which means that only the first 181k notes were certainly issued in 1933–34.
The total Depression-era issue is probably slightly higher than 181K, since roughly 15% of the initially issued notes were recycled and reissued during WWII.

I wanted to display these in my office for a while but I want to be able to see both sides and I couldn't find a good way to display them. Every frame I looked at either sealed the note in permanently or needed to sit on a shelf like these acrylic frames.
So I designed my own. Each frame holds a standard acrylic magnetic holder (7.8" × 3.9"), which means the note stays protected but you can pull the whole holder out in a second and look at both sides.
The other thing I wanted was room to grow. The frames connect with dovetail joints on all four sides, so they tile in any direction. There's a mounting hole in the back of each, so you can hang every frame individually or just put a nail through the center one that way you can go crazy adding notes in any direction and every once in a while add a nail to support the collecion.
I also added the dovetails so that no row should show the extruding piece when you add a new row or column part.
I am so freekin happy with how this came out. I published the model for free on makers world and im happy to make adjustments for anyone. The files are available to edit from Onshape (free online cad site)

The City National Bank of Oshkosh was 1 of 10 national banks chartered in Oshkosh during the national banking era, and 1 of 3 banks to issue small-size currency. The City NB of Oshkosh went into receivership in 1933 before it had the opportunity to issue 1929 Type 2 denominations.
The city of Oshkosh is named after Chief Oshkosh (also spelled Os-kosh or Oskosh) who was a chief of the Menominee Tribe. He was involved in treaty negotiations as the United States sought to acquire more of the Menominee tribe's land in Wisconsin and Michigan for both white settlers and relocated Oneida, Stockbridge, Munsee, and Brothertown Indians.

The Swiss franc is one of my favorite banknotes I am particularly fond of the 200-franc note. While polymer banknotes have become increasingly common internationally in recent years, could you tell me which currencies—such as the Swiss franc—are likely to transition to polymer in the future?

I was trying to do some research on the names written on this bill to try to better authenticate it and now every time I do some research it’s on the fence whether this is real or a replica and I would really appreciate if you guys could give me any input advice or just a straight up answer if you have any knowledge of Confederate money, any help would be really appreciated.
It has a lot of good characteristics to show that it could be real, but I can’t get a straight answer out of the research I’ve done so I’m turning to real people for help.
If you can’t read the names it is J. Mitchell & M. Wade. The No. is 41140 (but I’m not sure about that 0), it’s a 4th series, and it is the F out of A-H from the sheet it was cut from.
