2004 Series $10 bills

[collectingfamily]

We are mainly collecting coins, but we have been saving the 2004 Series $10 bills because we think they look great. Are they worth saving or should we just save a few?

 

Thanks!

A few are always nice. I like the brand new ones with the vibrant color. They won't be worth anything until many years down the road, I don't think.

Same here. About 10 years ago when I started to collect coins, I decided to hoard bills, as well. I decided that I wanted one representative piece from all affordable circulating bills, so I collected a $5, a $10, a $20, and for the $1s, I decided to collect one of every (circulating) series (e.g. a 1989, 1993, etc.) from each Federal Reserve Bank.

 

Now that I'm a little older, a little more insane, and have a little more money to spend, I'm trying to expand the $1 collection scheme to the $5, $10, and $20 as well. Even though they're not worth anything above face value at this point, and it's quite a bit of money to plunk down at the beginning, I derive just as much satisfaction from filling gaps in the bill collection as I do in my coins. It might be something for you to think about doing, especially because, looking back at the $20, it's really interesting to see the evolution of the bill over the last 10 years.
