16. Keep it, no matter what. When I was a kid, my aunt and uncle had a
lot of onfederate bills laying around in a safe, (they were in MD). They woudl give them to us to play w/because they were worthless. Sure wish I had some of those "worthless" $1000 Confederate bills now!
People used to burn them by the bushel to cook and warm up on cool Spring nights...

It's hit or miss, but if it worth something in the future, great, if not, you saved a buck... :D

Worse that can happen, you saved some Americana... :woohoo:
