    1932 or 1934 $100 bill last month. Cant remember the exact year. Didnt keep it because it's not worth much in circulated condition and I couldn't afford to just set aside $100.

    The oldest I received was a '63 Barr note a few years back. Not really valuable, but still pretty cool.

    Though these are not the oldest bills I have found in circulation, I believe it was a Series 1950 five. A collector bought a gold piece from me today with some older bills. The tellers at his bank save all of the older currency they get in for him. I have not seen some of these 100's in a very long time. They are so refreshing to look at once again.

    $100.00 bills
    Series 1974 - 1
    Series 1981 - 1
    Series 1985 - 1
    Series 1990 - 3
    Series 1993 - 1

    $20.00 bills
    Series 1993 - 1

    $10.00 bills
    Series 1995 - 2

    Last Saturday I guy showed me two consecutive numbered crisp uncirculated series 1993 100's and he wanted to know what they were worth. He said these were just two of 35 CU consecutive notes he has and he was not really interested in selling any of them yet.

    The brown color on my bills is some kind of enviro damage or fungus some were moldy and a few were about to disentigrate newer type bills too I've got a ton of bills from the same customer with it the last few months well over $10k worth they smell mildewy too
