This my favorite paper money. I like it because of where I received it. I was at the grocery store and the person ahead if me in line paid for a candy bar with it.
The cashier mentioned the blue on it and stuck it in the cash drawer. I promptly purchased it back for $5.
It is a 1934 Silver Certificate. Back in the day one could go into a bank and exchange it for $5 of Silver. Kewl huh?
Here is the almost twin of it. For some strange reason it is also a 1934 $5 that I was given. It does not have the blue badges but proudly states "Will pay to the bearer on demand"
The ink is darker on both and the paper is heavier. They don't make em like they used to.
I also have a $10 bill which is dated 1934. Weird because these have all come to me randomly.
