@@ChinkapinOak I have a few, as well. Unfortunately, they were worth more at face value in the late 1970s than they are worth today unless in top grade or otherwise 'special' when one considers that $20 of 1977 would be worth over $100 now when adjusted for inflation.
Unlike U.S. coinage, U.S. currency does not necessarily bear a date concurrent with the time it was printed or issued. Series dates of currency reflect changes in signators (Treasurer, Secretary of Treasury) or of printing method / design. Series 1934A Federal Reserve Notes were _not_ produced in 1934, they entered production in 1938 and were printed until they were superseded by Series 1934B notes of 1945 - 46. Per usinflationcalculator, $20.00 of 1944 would be equivalent to $350.47 of 2024. The whole $1240.00 of 1944 would be $21,729.38 today. The $1240.00 of 1938 would be $27,123.20, each $20 being $437.47 at today's rate. 00:30 - The 'green seal' is on the front, overprinting 'TWENTY'. 03:35 - That note is Series 1934B, printed during 1945 - 46. Note Secretary of Treasury has changed from Morgenthau to Vinson. 03:40 - Another Series 1934B, another at 03:54... 04:29 - Note at left ('upside down') is Series 1934 (printed 1934 - 38). Light green seals were early production Series 1934, so _that_ note was likely printed 1934 or early 35. It gets harder to make out details from there on as you're moving them pretty fast. There could also be Series 1934C (1946 - 1949) and Series 1934D (1949 - 1950) notes in the stack. 06:32 - Those notes were not "backed by the gold standard", as that change was the reason for Series 1934. Series 1928 through 1928D bore the declaration: REDEEMABLE IN GOLD ON DEMAND AT THE UNITED STATES TREASURY, OR IN GOLD OR LAWFUL MONEY AT ANY FEDERAL RESERVE BANK. With Series 1934 the declaration was changed to: THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, AND IS REDEEMABLE IN LAWFUL MONEY AT THE UNITED STATES TREASURY, OR AT ANY FEDERAL RESERVE BANK. 06:42 - There is no difference in size or thickness between those notes and U.S. currency printed today. The only reason the stack seems 'thick' is that those are not uncirculated notes; they have been used, handled, and thus do not lay flat. The last change in size of U.S. banknotes came about with Series 1928. Prior to that they were considerably larger with exception of 'Fractional Currency' notes (three through fifty cents) of 1862 - 74 which were much smaller.
Yes, I know and some that are stained, badly darkened by wear or badly bent will be sent back. Others that are in 35 to 50 condition will be set aside because I've see tons on ebay that have sold for $40 to $60 that are in worse shape. The creme of the crop probably 10-15 will be sent in to be graded I have about 5 that I believe are in gem condition and another 10 or so maybes that will still be worth grading.
MS64 Morgans hope you didn’t return any of those to the bank! I would sell them on eBay. You could probably do a bulk sale of maybe $500-$1000 of those old 20s for at least 1/4 to 1/2 over face value. Especially for how nice they are.
Those are of higher value. The 'Hawaii Overprint' notes were issued in 1942 and distributed in Hawaii as non overprinted notes were withdrawn from that area in case of Japanese invasion. Had Japan taken Hawaii, the overprinted notes would have been demonetized.
@@ms64morgans76 Correct. They're nice, I have a few that I keep even knowing that their value degrades with inflation more than increases as collectibles. A Series 1934A $20 in XF may bring $30 retail today. Twenty dollars of the year 2000 had the comparative buying power of $35.82 today per usinflationcalculator. I've had some for longer than that.
What do you guys think I should do with all of these?
Save them! They're beautiful. I remember putting those aside in the '70s.
Damn! I'm jealous of your luck!

You need to have them put in note sleeves or holders
Wow. What an amazing find! Congrats
They’re all from NY that’s crazy
Heck of a score. Congrats
WOW, that is totally crazy! I thought my find of 2's was unusual!
They may look uncirculated, but hold a flash light from the side of it at an angle and you will be able to see if it’s been folded

The Lime green seal is a federal reserve note that is more valuable than the others. I will be keeping that as well.

@@ms64morgans76 So, how did that go?
I didn't see a single CU note in the lot.
They're nice, mostly XF - AU, but not uncirculated.
@@ms64morgans76 The light colored seal indicates early production Series 1934, and are worth a premium over 'dark seal' notes.
How much a small head note is worth over face value?
A few years ago I got a 1950 b broken ladder bill. This weekend I got 4 of those bills 1934 but $100 bills.
Very amazing video and money
Still have any of these? I'd buy one
That looks good I want one so bad
I think you should sell the ones you think it’s not worth keeping and keep the rest or sell it too but more expensive.
Whoa... I’m speechless
I have a $20 Bill Series of 1934 A, and it has an Official Stamped in HAWAII
Those are of higher value.
The 'Hawaii Overprint' notes were issued in 1942 and distributed in Hawaii as non overprinted notes were withdrawn from that area in case of Japanese invasion. Had Japan taken Hawaii, the overprinted notes would have been demonetized.
Can I buy some of them if you still have them
I love old bills that is a great find
Jeez how do u have so many awesome
I’d keep all of them. The age is just priceless!
How much would a star note go for if you had one?
I have one 20 dollars bills 1985 for sale
I can pay $35/piece for choice crisp uncirculated ones (no stains or folds)
What did you do with these? Sell? Keep? I can’t believe you found these in circulation.
I kept some and returned the rest of the more beat up ones to the bank. Thanks for stopping by!
There's still plenty of 1934 20 50 and 100 dollar bills in circulation so they aren't worth anything unless they are extremely pristine.
No star notes !
