Knowing how things work here I'm not sure that if I'll go to a bank and say that according to american laws that money are still legal they will exchage them.

I asked an exchange house if they accept dollars issued before 2000 and said they don't and adviced me to go to a bank. If they're considered not in force yet there is only a bank that will exchange them. It means I should apply for this, wait for 60 days and be charged with 8-10%. Quite annoying considering that in countris like mine where currency is weak, we use to "treasure" euros or dollars and exchange them when we're in need.
