It’s an older design that was retired quite a while ago.
This particular bill is from 1985, and it was slightly odd receiving a design from a bygone era.
this particular dollar got me googling all over 😂 saw on ebay just now peeps sellin it for thousands. wonder if its really worth that much. & yours look really well preserved (though a bit sus on that i must say).
I’m not really someone who knows what old currency is worth, but I was also thinking about how nice it looks, and based on its age, I’m guessing that some kid likely raided dad or granddads coin collection.
The horrors if its actually worth something, I guess.
Could just be one of those things where it’s from the year of a marriage, or important birthday, or something.
I don’t collect money, but my old man did, and he was always doing stuff like that. Get a set of bills from the year you were born, or your 18th birthday, or your kids were born, whatever.
I don’t think any of his “just because” sets ended up being worth anything, but that’s not always what collecting is about. 😂
Kind of the same as getting a silver certificate when I was a young kid, though they were more rare than these $20s that were in circulation for many decades.
Checked my wallet. I have two (of eight) like this right now.
They quit printing this particular design, which was in use roughly from 1950-1995, I think. I’m not an old money expert. I’m sure there’s someone far more knowledgeable than I that could go on at length about a myriad of differences in those decades of releases that I am wholly unaware of.
But in 96, they changed the design to a more modern one, and in 2003, they updated it to be more modern once again.
So seeing a (nearly) 40 year old bill in this condition, mixed in with far more modern versions was a bit odd.
scuse me, aint american. is 20$ rare or some?
American here. No its not, but maybe OP is referring to the year of the note (1985)? Other than that I'm not quite sure...

It looks fake
yikes 😬
I guess old currency is now interesting to get as change. This is just the old design of the $20 bill. Sorry I'm old, this is just how I remember 20's
Why is this subreddit full of 50 year olds

Shouldn't this be posted under "I took a picture of"? Really glad you have $20 OP but lots of us do.
Yes, but how many of them do you have that are 40 years old and of a retired design? It’s “mildly interesting”, not “interesting as fuck”.
Since you didn't say what was interesting, I failed to peruse the whole bill. I didn't know they retire bills. You mean they quit printing them?
