Old $20 bills, are they still valid?
 
I just recieved a few "older" $20 bills. They don't have the new layout and just a small picture of Jackson on them. The left wing of the white house has a tree in front of it.

Are those still valid ?
Thanks!

No, you can mail them to me and I will take care of them for you.

That means they are, doesn't it? :D

LOL Andrew good one!!!

Hey, it's not money, it's just $$. You never know if they're still worth anything tomorrow. :D

Don't travel with them outside the U.S. and attempt to exchange.

US dollars do not have an expiration date. In theory, you could trade a 100 year old $1 bill for a candy bar.

It is not like the multiple european currencies that are no longer valid with the advent of the Euro.

A few months ago I got a $1 "silver certificate" in change. It has a date of 50 years ago: 1957. In theory I could take it (I think) to a bank and demand $1 in silver. It's probably worth a few cents more than $1 but it's not mint condition. I still kept it. But it's still currency.

You may want to save that old $20. Its worth more than the new ones considering the devaluation and all...:-O
