Barr Notes: Dollar Bills Worth Money Hiding in Your Wallet

[@brentnashville]

So as a Bartender, you found the Joseph Barr Legal Tender. That makes you the Barr Tender Bartender.

[@Silverpicker]

This literally might be the best comment I've ever gotten lol

[@carlbettag2557]

We My Uncle and Myself Always referred to them as Barr Bill's I' have a few of them' and have some with stars

[@AndrewBuck-ju7ii]

i have 16 all together and one from each series. didnt even know. thought they were just 1963’s. THANK YOU

[@AnotherPostcard]

I was just served three of these, in consecutive serial numbers. Somehow I am thrilled.

[@PennyHaven]

The thing about Barr notes is, when they came out people were aware that this was an anomaly. Likely to be the shortest tenure for a Treasury Secretary ever. Therefore, tons of people kept the ones they came across at the time. That has kept them from being worth more. I too pulled them out initially because they were from the early 60's. The signature stuck out to me because it looked sloppy and big and I was pretty sure I hadn't seen that name before. It wasn't until later that I learned why these were special. Love the channel!

[@jacobomonjara]

Hey I have need help to exchange you know out for the chanel

[@jimmoberly308]

Know this is 3 years late, but your video popped up on you tube yesterday afternoon and unbelievably, I actually got a Barr note in change this morning. San Francisco. Is in rough shap though. Just thought it was cool to get one the next day after watching your video.

[@shadscott2648]

Wow! I've watched four of your videos today and I've learned an incredible amount of interesting knowledge!

[@jonathancollins2950]

Found my first one today, made my day.

[@kennethclark5636]

This is actually kind of fun! I never knew there were so many varying facts about american monies. Thank you for your videos and for taking the time to instruct us.

[@Silverpicker]

Really glad you're enjoying it. Let me know what type of bill you want to me to make a video about next!

[@kennethclark5636]

I have always wondered if there are any two dollar bills that are rare or at least worth more than face value. Thank you for asking.

[@burtviile]

I've been a bartender for too long to mention and have always squirreled away older bills. Paused this early on and checked my stack. Found three, all J's! I did not expect it to be a financial windfall, but still super cool. This is why I collect, just for the fun of finding something different. Thanks picker, liked and sub'd.

[@Silverpicker]

Super, super happy that this video helped you find some additional value in your collection. Banknote searching was always my favorite fringe benefit of tending bar. What kind of bar do you work at? I was at a performing arts theater.

[@burtviile]

I work at a dive college bar, have for a long time, it keeps me young. Just finished a 16 hour shift on one of our local schools homecoming, I feel old.

[@burtviile]

I miss working at that bar.

[@gothmolg8037]

When I was a paper boy in the mid 80's, I had a customer who said she was looking for those bills. I sold her dozens of the Barr notes at face value. Sigh.

[@bettyschneider5268]

Gothmolg ..... Don't feel bad I got talked out of a silver Morgan dollar? I sold it for a lousy $2. I still get mad at myself! I know the person but I am sure it's worth lots of money 💰 now no way am I going to get it back! Just have to learn from our stupid mistakes! 😥 😠 😢😕😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😎😎

[@chachcadi271]

This comment is fake. Why would you sell a 1 dollar bill for 1 dollar? Even if you thought that they were only worth face value, it would be a pointless trade. Also, when a kid heres that something they have is cool, they aren't going to trade it for a less cool version.

[@Silverpicker]

That's too bad, but at least you made someone happy!

[@burtviile]

@@chachcadi271 You were obviously never a paper boy. It was all about making your customers happy and getting tips. For the second time time today, I feel old.

[@dataexpunged2827]

Feels bad man...

[@Mr51Caveman]

For some strange reason I remembered my Dad talking about these back in the 60"s. So I have always looked for them. I found one a few months back so it's in my currency collection!

[@Silverpicker]

That's awesome! Did you guys collect together?

[@Mr51Caveman]

@@Silverpicker Long story but no. I started back in the early 60's with a bag of Walkers, Mercury dimes and Buffalo nickels and some other stuff. Had a pretty good size bag, maybe a couple pounds? Mom took it cause she needed cocktails! But off and on over a few decades I saved, collected and sold. Then I got back into it kinda heavy over the last 5 years or so. Have been coin and currency searching pretty heavy. Probably something like 10 or 15 thousand over the last couple years.I've found what I think are some pretty cool things. Star notes, a Barr note, Radars, Repeaters, Binaries, etc. But also a lot of coin errors also. Plus those key coins many like to keep. I was going through a $500 box of quarters while watching your vid. Ist time I'd seen a vid on the Barr notes. Found a 53 Silver Quarter in the middle of your video!

[@michellebourgeois3695]

[@Blueknight1960]

I know this video is 3 years old but, my dad back in the 70's started collecting the Barr notes, he had if I remember correctly a little over 6000 of them. Well he decided he needed a car and paid cash with those Barr notes (remember this was back in the 70's so car prices were a lot cheaper).

[@livewellel]

Great job on sharing this information!

[@Silverpicker]

My pleasure!

[@verbose0]

It's hard enough to find 60's bills anyway, much less a Barr note. Not in 2019.. Searching is still fun though, good luck people

[@rpop6196]

verbose0 I actually just found a barr note

[@rpop6196]

No joke

[@Silverpicker]

It is hard to find, but not impossible!

[@gregl5648]

I get $100 straps from the bank all the time to search through them for rare notes and about 4 months ago I found a bar note and I just I could not believe it because the bill was such good shape it didn't even have any creases in it it was immaculate so they are out there I know from personal experience that they are

[@emrefifty5281]

[@amyboyer6823]

Thank-you Silver Picker for this informative video.

[@livetoridecando]

I remember having some Barr notes as a kid. Of course as a kid, they were spent.

[@jjpac2011]

Great, informative vid. I actually thought Mr. Barr's term was cut short due to his untimely passing. Happy I was wrong. I do have 100 consecutive 1963B Barr notes in the original bank strap in excellent, uncirculated condition. Acquired well over ten years ago, maybe closer to twenty.

[@Silverpicker]

That is super cool!

[@kimberlyb2946]

[@kermitinmountain6371]

Geez! Silverpicker, You had me stopped at the middle of the viewing. I thought, I had 1963 dollar bills. Unfortuneately, I only have Series of 1963 and 1963 A, No Series B. I thought I saw this a long time ago. But, thanks for "Woken" me while on you tube.

[@alastor4480]

I actually had a similar story to yours, I had gone to KFC to pick up supper and I had gotten a 1963B $1 bill as part of the change, So I thought “Hey, This isnt something you see every day” So I took it home and put it in my currency album and kinda forgot about it until I watched this video, Turns out, Its a Barr note from New York! 😄

nice "bar" note I have a collection of all ten (5 different mints and the star notes) I had got them from my grandfathers collection when he died

[@Silverpicker]

Wow, that must be some collection! Post a pic to my facebook or insta

[@skyland4929]

It's been 60 years. $1 bills usually get recycled and burnt after certain years or get too torn. There is no way you can get one Barr bill in exchange. Maybe you can find one if you work in the Fed facility recycling the bill like the 3 women in movie Mad Money. I had about $200 - $300 used $1 bills, and all I could find was one 1995 $1, all else are 2003 or later years.

I have some for sale,,don t know what to charge..fun collecting..don t have bar notes..but other fancy notes

[@ronmay1195]

I have 3 uncirculated Barr Notes (1963-B) in sequential order. My uncle used to work for the US Treasury. Unfortunately, I had sold much of my collection of Peace Dollars and Morgans to a dealer and only got melt values for them. Now in looking back that was a stupid move by me since the 1922 Peace Dollar - depending on the type could have been worth a fortune. But I was not into the coins that much and needed the money. So, if one uncirculated Barr Note sold for $125.00. What would you think 3 uncirculated notes in sequential order would be worth. I would think at least $500.00. I also have a trinary bills and radar's and a super repeater which I would like to sell. But I am thinking of going thru an auction to get these sold.

[@Silverpicker]

That's a good question. I'd recommend taking a look on heritageauctions.com and comparing the results to what you have

Hey Silverpicker: Quick Question: How rare is it to have four $1 bills with consecutive serial numbers(every number the same except the last) Stumbled across it yesterday and found it pretty neat

[@FirstLast-hk4qt]

Not at all actually. If you go to the bank and ask for a stack of brand new ones, they'll give you 100 consecutive notes.

[@Silverpicker]

Not all that rare or valuable unless it's a very old bill or has interesting serial numbers. For example if it was 00000001, 00000002, etc
