In reply to Joe+Brown. Maybe, more likely an ongoing debate about cents costing the mint $1,233.01 to mint EACH (in 23oo)

Love all the time capsule tales, I would love to do one. Could you imagine them opening up a box of $2 bills in say 2300, they would have no idea. Perhaps would be more valuable as “Charmin’ by THEN…I won’t know but my head will be with Ted .4oo Williams’…… mayb

Old Collector – i* did my version of a time capsule with a small die,cast * chest with a small cartoon *pirate stamped on top, i* put a handful of *culls, mostly steel war time cents, & a few badly pitted *war nickels, & berry*d it a few feet down on the side of a hill at the *ball field just across the street, from my home that i* grew up in, just can*t find the */map, its someplace down my folks basement, i* think! Tried without the *map with no luck tho, need a *metal detector!*smile.

*god knows, i* hid or forgot about, or just can*t find where i* hid, some trinkets not worth much now, over my years! I* say good luck if or who ever comes across one of them, when ever fond.

In reply to Mouse.

I agree with that, if I would have known than what I know now i would have retired long ago lol. I have had my eye on a Canadian auction and may bid on a $1000 Canadian note graded at a 66. The Canadian government has made the decision recently to take all legal tender status from these notes, not for commerce but will be recognized at face value at a Canadian bank upon return.I am not a fan of giving bills or precious metals back to my banks or government – thus increasing its collectible long term value. I still have a few weeks to decide if I am going to bid on the note…I think I will as it will serve my son well when I am off this rock.

$500 – $1000 dollar notes from the 1800’s. That would have been a fortune back than…and appear to be worth a fortune now lol There have been some big money auctions lately. I often wonder how high these pieces of history can go in price before they tap out.
