I'd say that if you showed up at a bank or store with some $20's or $50's that looked brand new, but that style hadn't been printed in 5 or 10 years, you'd probably wind up having to explain yourself to some Secret Service agents if they proved not to be real. .
:laugh: I always have an amount of money in the house, you know, for emergencies. In the past when money were made from a very poor paper I tried to keep this reserve in very new notes ( to the stupid extent that I didn't accept the smallest ply on "my little treasure"). From time to time the design or the paper had to be changed and new designed notes were emitted so we were allowed to use the old ones for a very short time. And I had to pay with all those well preserved notes and I remember those peasants at the market having a laugh at me and telling that I'm an avaricious who preserve money at the mattress
