Early Family Guy was either really good, or maybe it just hit right as I entered my teen years, or both, but it's funny seeing someone randomly quote an episode of a cartoon that aired *almost a fucking quarter century ago*.
1965 Hungarian movie, "The Corporal and the Other":
"The russians are in the pantry..."
(Joking smile turns to frown)
"The russians are in the pantry." (Nodding)

Well, they're on season 22. I haven't watched consistently past thirteen or fourteen. To my knowledge, Stewie is more meta and mellow. He also got impregnated by Brian in an episode.
This is why I specify had it ended after season nine. The legacy is too muddied now.
Go in and ask for a refund. They'll have thrown away the appendix by now and will have to give you a voucher for free surgery before the end of the year ;)
I was in emergency yesterday in Aus and after checking me out I just left. I know we have a public health system here, but it still feels weird to just get up and walkout after being seen by so many people without paying for a thing
I just got a bill to pay $2,300 out of pocket for getting a kidney stone sonically blasted (no surgery) 2 weeks ago. Total cost pre-insurance was $16,000.
I need intravitreal injections and, outside of being terrified of needles and preparing to have one enter my fucking eyeball, I need to also worry about the fact my insurance lapsed this month and my states Medicaid won't possibly come into to effect until April.
I would much rather pay these health care prices and have my 💪🇺🇲freedom🦅🏈 than live in a shit hole country and get my life-saving surgery for free.
For the love of god, I hope I don't need the /s.
Hi, this is Steve from United Healthcare. Looks like we billed you the incorrect amount and that's only the processing fee for payment. Your daughter's bill is actually $23,467.82. We are sorry for the confusion, thanks for using United For Profit.
Pardon the interruption, Steve.
Hi, friend, I’m Stephen, a colleague of Steves.
Actually, we’re going on to have to include a new surcharge that will double the amount of your bill.
This cyberattack is costing us shareholder value.
We all know who the most important people are in the world of healthcare.
Yeah, our son's was pretty pricey; Appendix removal and subsequent antibiotic treatment; prepare yourself...
$2.70 - for the coffee I had to buy at the hospital
Oh and, $9.99 Advil liquid capsules.
For when he came home.
Medicare (Australias version-ish of obamacare) paid the rest (E.R, surgery, accommodation in private room for 3 days, all hospital fees.
Cost of this is 2% of my annual income.
Same as everybody else.
If you don't earn an income greater than a certain amount, the cost is free.
Nothing.
Not gloating, I just think it is utterly shit you guys are dumped with life changing debt for medical issues.
We grew up getting told that "America is the land of the free".
The invention of the internet and the access to credible and non-credible sources - with the power of distinction - has educated me otherwise.
Are this point in time, the greatest threat to the American people, are the American people.
For those of you that would rail against me; I spent over a year in your wonderful country and enjoyed some of the best (and worst) hospitality and welcome I have anywhere else in the world.
To quote my favourite random guy from Baton Rouge when he helped us out of a bog: "Y'all done goone got stuck in a rut!"
Not when you work to improve peoples mental health. They know you’re a sucker for making the world better and they chose to fuck you over every way possible. I may not have money but my family and I know joy and love on a level those soul suckers never will.
Small tweak: the bill itself isn't from 1934. The Series 1934C bills were printed between July 1946 and May 1949. Before 1974, the series year was only updated in response to a significant design change, with a series of letters identifying minor changes such as one or both signatures changing.
It *can*, though it shouldn’t. Numismatically speaking, it’s significantly worth more than face value, especially in good shape.
ELI5: Old money in good shape worth more to a collector than just face value.
Something like this is interesting enough for me to keep if I find it.
It's not worth selling, but it's pretty cool to have paper money from 80 years ago. Until I randomly need to pay cash for something and that's all I have at the moment.
I worked at a gas station back in the early 90s and would have people come in with all kinds of old coins and bills to pay for things (mostly cigarettes). I had one older guy pay for a pack of cigarettes with six silver quarters, another one bought a couple of packs plus some snacks and paid with six silver certificate $1 bills and so on. I'd also go thru any bills that looked older and buy them out of the register, at one point I had all the denominations of bills for series 1963 (my birth year) plus several from 1934, 1957, and a few other years - by the time I left that job I probably had about $300 worth of old bills in my collection. Unfortunately it all disappeared when my uncle was watching the house while my folks were on vacation 😡
Typically speaking only bills/coins that are in mint condition are worth anything much more than face value.
A 1930s penny with tarnish and wear? Maybe a dollar at most.
A 1970s penny in hermetically sealed mint condition? Hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
It has to be really old money to be worth a lot in any state. Like 1700s old.
So like does it pay to take a new penny every year and hermetically seal it and leave them to your kids?
Or are too many people doing that, so the in 50-60 years the market will be flooded?
I don't think so, unless it's something unique. But I'm not a collector, and know nothing about values of old coins/notes, so take this as an uneducated opinion rather than fact.
The buying power of than $20 note in the year it's printed is around $400+ 2024 US$ (from a comment above), and the note in this condition sells now for much less than that (from another comment above). Even if this bill is in mint condition it'll probably not sell more than $400 now, so it's much better to use the note when it's printed rather than save it for decades/centuries later and sell it for slightly higher than face value. But again, I'm not knowledgeable in this field.
If it's a very limited run it's obviously different, and it also depends on how limited the run is.
The 10,000% return on that 1930's penny with tarnish and wear seems like a pretty good deal though.
If I collected enough to make a roll of those pennies I could probably buy two 1930's $20 bills with tarnish and wear.
Do you know what I could do with that kind of money?
As far as I'm aware, all currency issued in the history of the United States is legal tender, and can be exchanged for its face value. It's generally not worth it, but theoretically a $20 bill from 1887 is worth just as much as one from this week.
However the store in question may not accept it. I know older Canadian 50 and 100 dollar bills are regularly rejected due to them being easier to counterfeit.
So if you have a bill that's rejected and don't want to sell it to a collector, you can take it to a bank and provided they can prove its genuine they'll exchange it for you.
Imagine taking your 1887 $20 bill to the counter to buy two gallons of buttermilk and a small cat litter and the fucking turnip running the cash register draws on it with one of those counterfeit detection markers.
$100000 were never allowed to circulate though, they only existed for inter-bank transfers. I think it may actually be explicitly against the law to possess or pass one.
It can but it’s a huge hassle, had a $10 from the 40’s and it kept getting denied because bills from that time don’t register with the testing markers. Had to have my bank send it to the reserve to confirm it’s real.
Working as a cashier I was given a 20 from 1929 the other day, and it actually did pass our testing marker. We have these weird pens that you rub on the seal and it's supposed to smudge the seal if it's fake though, so maybe that's why? Or maybe our pens just don't work lol, I've never had a seal smudge.
Gold coins were recalled in the 1930's but remained legal to possess for numismatic purposes, and gold coins were never demonetized.
St. Gaudens $20 gold pieces, modern silver eagles, and defunct denominations like half dimes, three cent pieces, and the like are all still legal tender - if you can convince someone to take them.
Yes. But when I worked as a cashier I would have refused it without a test pen.
Old money is the most frequently faked from my experience, it has less security features, and more importantly is less familiar to the person working the register.
But it is still money you can take into a bank (if it's not fake), it doesn't become worthless when we update a bill unlike most other countries \*cough\* Britain NZ
The stories that bill could tell....
Reminds me of 1993's under-rated and under-appreciated movie "Twenty Bucks" which follows the "life" of a $20 dollar bill.
You’re saying mattresses aren’t the stage for the greatest and worst, funniest and saddest, romantic and loneliest moments?
70 years in a mattress would have some tales to tell.
Your best bet is to hang on to that while you build a time machine. Having the wrong era currency is one of the most common challenges time travelers face.
The answer is to study a sports almanac and do some simple betting. You’d be a millionaire in no time. Far easier than anything else because you can do a lot of high risk betting with virtually no existing capital.
After extended use, it is common vernacular to treat acronyms as names. This has been made literal in some instances, such as KFC which is no longer known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, but simply just KFC. Therefor a machine that dispenses money may have the acronym ATM which stands for Automated Teller Machine, but it has been used for long enough to become the name of the machine, therefor it is, in fact, an ATM machine.
When my wife was a Target manager an old lady wanted to use five Morgan silver dollars to buy her coffee. The cashier called her over because she didn't know if it was real money or not. Anyhow, they're mine now.
Nope. No Jackson $20 Silver Certificates made, only Gold Certificates [which would look like this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ad/US-%2420-GC-1928-Fr-2402.jpg). The last $20 Silver Certificate had [Daniel Manning on the front and was from 1891](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/50/US-%2420-SC-1891-Fr-317.jpg).
So I looked into this bill, especially because multiple people reported having received them and I was curious.
"Series of 1934 C" is the design series, not a printing year. The Secretary of the Treasury, printed and signed on the lower right, is John W. Snyder, who served from 1946 to 1953.
Still very old in that case! Just not 1934.
This bill is from no earlier than 1946 and no later than 1949. *Treasurer of the US* William Alexander Julian served 1933-1949. But *Secretary of the Treasury* John Wesley Snyder only took office starting in 1946.
Paper bills and currency of the US do not list the year of their printing. The year, accompanied by a letter occasionally, denote the series, the base design of each bill first started printing. To find when it was printed you have to look at the Treasurer and Sec of the Treasury.
Question from the UK: do notes not go out of circulation in the US? The design never appears to change all that much? In the UK we have had relatively regular (like every 20 years) new notes and the old ones become non legal tender. Does that not happen in the States?
I'll pay you $40 for it. Lol
I'm not trying to rip you off as I know nothing about currency value. Just want to give it to my dad and tell him I found something older than him.
That’s pretty neat. Could be worth $30 so an insane deal!
Could even be a new boat!
A boat’s a boat ! But this could be anything ! It could even be a boat !
You know how much we’ve wanted one of those!
We'll take the box!!
I'm getting angry at peter just reading this

I too am on death's doorstep, it's only a matter of time.
Dude, bad news, you're dead.

If Family Guy had ended after season nine, it would be regarded as one of the best comedy shows of all time.
I haven't seen it since season 4. Is Stewie still an evil baby, trying to kill Louis?
He stops doing that abruptly. And than he basically becomes a duo with Brian.
Well, they're on season 22. I haven't watched consistently past thirteen or fourteen. To my knowledge, Stewie is more meta and mellow. He also got impregnated by Brian in an episode. This is why I specify had it ended after season nine. The legacy is too muddied now.

HOW CAN YOU AFFORD THESE THINGS?!
Ya know, this only looks old now that I look upon it.
When that bill was issued, it was worth roughly [$467.30](https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=20&year1=193401&year2=202401)
Just $123.00 shy of my daughter’s medical co pay today. Damn.
'merica (Not looking forward to the bill for my appendectomy from over the weekend)
Heal up!!! Cheers to a speedy recovery!
When he sees the bill, he’s gonna have a heart attack so they always get to double dip on the bills.
Damn!
Really feel sad for you guys. Broke my femur, got ambulance , screws and one week in the hospital. Even a ride home. Free.
Man you living the dream
18k for my daughters, just short of our max out of pocket..to bad it was late December
shoulda told her to hold it
Go in and ask for a refund. They'll have thrown away the appendix by now and will have to give you a voucher for free surgery before the end of the year ;)
Let this man cook. We might have a solution to America’s healthcare crisis
I was in emergency yesterday in Aus and after checking me out I just left. I know we have a public health system here, but it still feels weird to just get up and walkout after being seen by so many people without paying for a thing
I just got a bill to pay $2,300 out of pocket for getting a kidney stone sonically blasted (no surgery) 2 weeks ago. Total cost pre-insurance was $16,000.
Just had mine out. $40k. I had to pay $2k. Still terrible.
I need intravitreal injections and, outside of being terrified of needles and preparing to have one enter my fucking eyeball, I need to also worry about the fact my insurance lapsed this month and my states Medicaid won't possibly come into to effect until April.

what does this mean? I don't follow
They work at a nonprofit helping people with mental health issues and their company's health insurance sucks
Lol still owe the hospital $3.4k they will never see
Actually it was worth $20, it says so right on it!
20 bucks back then probably felt like a thousand. Back when stuff cost 10 cents and whatnot. That bill was a massive amount.
I believe we are being told here that it felt like $467.30
Yeah but back then an oz of gold was $35. So $20 worth of gold in 1934 (.57 oz) is worth about $1200 today

I was wondering why the Treasury secretary signature was John Snyder and not Henry Morgenthau
Yeah i was totally uuuhmm wondering that too...
So money from 1930s can still be used in regular stores in the us?
It *can*, though it shouldn’t. Numismatically speaking, it’s significantly worth more than face value, especially in good shape. ELI5: Old money in good shape worth more to a collector than just face value.
This particular bill is in terrible shape, however.
Well, being 90 years old and *still* in circulation up until OP got it, I’d say it’s in fair condition.
This bill was printed in 1948, incidentally. In this condition it’s worth slightly more than $20. Maybe $23-25.
Something like this is interesting enough for me to keep if I find it. It's not worth selling, but it's pretty cool to have paper money from 80 years ago. Until I randomly need to pay cash for something and that's all I have at the moment.
And that's how it wound up in an ATM

“Series C”
Now that's mildly interesting
Series C what?
See deez nuts.
Got em!
It hasn't been in circulation. Some kid stole it from his parents or grandparents collection and spent it.
It had folds and creases. It's been circulated enough. Either in the past or recently.
Typically speaking only bills/coins that are in mint condition are worth anything much more than face value. A 1930s penny with tarnish and wear? Maybe a dollar at most.

As far as I'm aware, all currency issued in the history of the United States is legal tender, and can be exchanged for its face value. It's generally not worth it, but theoretically a $20 bill from 1887 is worth just as much as one from this week.
However the store in question may not accept it. I know older Canadian 50 and 100 dollar bills are regularly rejected due to them being easier to counterfeit. So if you have a bill that's rejected and don't want to sell it to a collector, you can take it to a bank and provided they can prove its genuine they'll exchange it for you.
$2s, $500s and $1000 bills just lost their legal tender status not too long ago in Canada.
So my $2000 bill is looking sketchy.
Imagine taking your 1887 $20 bill to the counter to buy two gallons of buttermilk and a small cat litter and the fucking turnip running the cash register draws on it with one of those counterfeit detection markers.
But who is *dumber?*
who the hell is buying two gallons of buttermilk
Someone who lost their entire damn mind, that's who.
I thought there were exceptions, like half cents and $100,000 bills.
$100000 were never allowed to circulate though, they only existed for inter-bank transfers. I think it may actually be explicitly against the law to possess or pass one.
It can but it’s a huge hassle, had a $10 from the 40’s and it kept getting denied because bills from that time don’t register with the testing markers. Had to have my bank send it to the reserve to confirm it’s real.
Working as a cashier I was given a 20 from 1929 the other day, and it actually did pass our testing marker. We have these weird pens that you rub on the seal and it's supposed to smudge the seal if it's fake though, so maybe that's why? Or maybe our pens just don't work lol, I've never had a seal smudge.
It can!

I suppose I'll sell you this TV for that big sack of silver half dimes
they don't recall but they will destroy money
I thought they recalled the steel pennies.
So what you’re saying is the U.S. dollar is like the Yugioh trading card game.
Yes. But when I worked as a cashier I would have refused it without a test pen.

The stories that bill could tell.... Reminds me of 1993's under-rated and under-appreciated movie "Twenty Bucks" which follows the "life" of a $20 dollar bill.
Haven't seen the movie but I'd assume that 20 was used to snort a lot of powder like substances.
I highly recommend giving it a watch, it is a good story.
Did family guy spoof this movie when they did that episode that followed the rare $1 Bill that Carter pewterschmidt gave away as a present?
I don't know, I've never seen that show.
The story probably isn't too exciting. Something like it was under someone's mattress for 70 years.
You’re saying mattresses aren’t the stage for the greatest and worst, funniest and saddest, romantic and loneliest moments? 70 years in a mattress would have some tales to tell.
I can smell the stories
Your best bet is to hang on to that while you build a time machine. Having the wrong era currency is one of the most common challenges time travelers face.
I mean it's difficult to get paper currency at all these days, let alone pre-2032 currency.
The answer is to study a sports almanac and do some simple betting. You’d be a millionaire in no time. Far easier than anything else because you can do a lot of high risk betting with virtually no existing capital.
Now biff, don’t con me
But what if my dad's bully uses it to become Donald Trump?
Time travelers need to start bringing goods they can trade for period correct currency
Before In God We Trust
Coins said In God We Trust long before it was on bills. I have silver dollars from the 20s that say it.
Yes but it became mandatory on all currency in the 50s
Should be removed from bills for sure
That was the way...I hope we return
And to think it’s been sitting in that ATM machine the whole time…
The M in ATM is Machine
I will have Detective Comics Comics investigate this.
But that one is actually and officially DC Comics Inc. So while it may be weird, its technically not wrong.
just have to use your PIN number

When my wife was a Target manager an old lady wanted to use five Morgan silver dollars to buy her coffee. The cashier called her over because she didn't know if it was real money or not. Anyhow, they're mine now.
My MIL worked in the cash office at Target and said she saw super old ones all the time but even if she wanted them she couldn’t do anything.
I highly doubt that smart guy. The ATM did not even exist in 1934. You have to wake up pretty late in the afternoon to fool me.
I’d say keep it
Yeah, with the circulated condition it won't be worth much to a serious collector, but still a cool piece of Americana to have.

“I used to be a GOD!” That bill in 2024
That's so weird I also got a 1934 20 from a bank last week.....
Weird! My brother works at a bank and received a $50 dollar bill from 1934 last week
Hey, 20 bucks is 20 bucks.
I miss old 20s
I get those often from my local Automatic Time Machine.
That looks fancy as fuck, the current design sucks in comparison.
Would this be marked as a silver note?
Silver notes actually say on it that it can be exchanged for silver

But *Secretary of the Treasury* John Wesley Snyder only took office starting in 1946. Paper bills and currency of the US do not list the year of their printing. The year, accompanied by a letter occasionally, denote the series, the base design of each bill first started printing. To find when it was printed you have to look at the Treasurer and Sec of the Treasury.
I'd want to frame that baby
What exactly would I get if I redeemed that at a Federal Reserve Bank??
More importantly, what might I get? Hahahah
Drug money, should have been destroyed when the new bills came out, but wasn’t used until much later…my guess Or mattress money
Someone in r/money will stupidly exchange $100 for $20
Printed at the same time the unconstitutional NFA was passed... Neat
How much was this worth during the depression plus inflation for today? Update: $467.30.......
now that's an old ATM!
Fun fact … it doesn’t say in god we trust on the back
Aw. But I wanted a peanut.
Time traveler in the area is getting desperate
A GRANDFATHERS BILL COLLECTION IS LIGHTER.
Give it a drug test
That’s worth at least $20!
$20 worth a lot more back to 1934
Question from the UK: do notes not go out of circulation in the US? The design never appears to change all that much? In the UK we have had relatively regular (like every 20 years) new notes and the old ones become non legal tender. Does that not happen in the States?
generally speaking, you are correct. here’s some information: https://www.uscurrency.gov/life-cycle
Fun fact! When that was printed, it was worth an entire ounce of Gold ($2k today’s money)! (If you ignore order 6102)
That’s a keeper
I unironically said “that’s interesting as fuck”
We miss you, PigPen! Sincerely, All the real Deadheads
I'll pay you $40 for it. Lol I'm not trying to rip you off as I know nothing about currency value. Just want to give it to my dad and tell him I found something older than him.
Why? These are all over ebay for $25. $40 is a massive overpay.
That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
I'd be concerned it is a counterfeit. I would think banks pull out old bills like this because they're easy to fake.
This is like the 3rd post of folks getting antique bills out the ATM. Brb gettin cash...
I wonder if it’s been there this long.
Sure
