Greetings- I have been hording $20 bills since the idea was floated to replace Andrew Jackson's portrait with Harriet Tubman's. Who knows if this will ever happen. If the bills were replaced, I wonder if Jacksons will go up in value..

Adjusting for inflation, <$15.

It depends on supply and demand. Bills in pristine condition will be worth more. Very few people collect paper money. Just look up the value of uncirculated currency from the 1920s.

I do not believe numismatics is something very few people take part in. That is why the $20’s you save will likely only be worth face value if you are saving current production bills. As mentioned already, save new uncirculated bills, if you enjoy it, it’s worth doing.

No harm in collecting them. A few dozen 20's might come in handy.

How many hundreds of millions are there?

The good news is that they will always be worth $20, however much $20 is actually worth.

8.9 billion of $20s in circulation.

They last about 7 years.Before being worn out and replaced.


The guess is how many other people will have the same idea.

I’m good with that.

I picked up a 1934 $20 bill in Indianapolis in the late 1990s. It was in change from a grocery store. I have it in a box somewhere……moved a few times.

Thinking inflation won't be too bad?

At one time, they minted a 3¢ coin.

They were made out of silver.

Have any star notes or repeating serial number bills in that horde?

It'll turn out like all the folks that hoarded the Bicentennial "drummer boy" quarters from 1976, sure that they were going to be worth something someday. 45 years later, they're worth... 25 cents. There's just too many millions/billions of them out there for them to be rare/desirable.

See also the Eisenhower or Susan B Anthony dollar coins, which have been discontinued for decades, but are still only worth $1 for standard circulated coins.

Or $2 bills.

The fact is that normal, run-of-the-mill, circulated Jackson $20s won't be worth anything extra in your lifetime, or your kids' lifetime, or even their kids'.

My dad put a $2 bill in his wallet when they were released in, when was that, 1976? Today it looks like it came from a mummy tomb.
