Saving Money does Payoff

Some lady in Munster, IN deposited two $1000 bills just like the above and got a call from the bank telling her to come get them. Turns out they aren't fake, just really old. Which means that even though it says $1000 its really worth about a shit ton more.

The rare but legitimate bills are from 1934 and are each worth around $4,500.

Lucky bitch.

I'm going to wait about fifty years and take my cup full of pennies to the bank and see if the value has increased any. I think that's a good retirement plan.


couple more ounces and I'll pay off that student loan...in a thousand years when the word penny is only a word used by sages and scholars. (via Chicagoist)
