Does Anyone Pull Large-Denomination Bills from Circulation?

[astrostu]

Just curious, seeing as I pulled 4 $20s from circulation for a general collection yesterday. I know it's been asked if you all search your wallets and pull stuff out, but I was wondering specifically if you regularly pull larger denominations, like $20s, $50s, or even $100s? It gets expensive fast ...

Pull everything thats worth anything.

I pull larger denominations only if they are the nice old designs rather than the giant head colorized ones. I've pulled a 1934 $50 and a 1990 $50 and $100 from circulation over the last several years. Also some 1950s $20s and a 1985 and 1988 $20.

That's pretty impressive, pulling 70-year-old bills from present-day circulation.

 

It's also impressive - and sad - that this thread has had over 150 views and 2 replies.

The last bill I pulled from my wallet was a 1950D $20 bill. I've saved it for about 6 yrs now and it isn't worth anything and actually just spent it the other day!
