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!

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

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It is not like the multiple european currencies that are no longer valid with the advent of the Euro.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