I mean, at least it was not because they couldn't figure out how to make change.

>Gen Z cashiers are infuriating their bosses when they take cash from customers. According to reports young workers are deeming some bills counterfeit when they are in fact legitimate. According to one boss of a frozen yogurt shop in Florida, teenage employees had to be told that the bills they had refused to accept because they were fake, were actually 'just old.' Sam, 22, told Newsweek that the £10 and £5 notes that were confiscated at the store were 'pre-1999 as far as dating goes, so at least 25-30 years old.

£10 and £5 notes

Well yeah, in Florida no one is going to take pounds sterling...

To be fair, I've seen 0 red-seal $5 silver certificates in the wild.

Ok, now that is cool. If I saw one of those I would buy them off the person using it. I wonder if they knew what it really was?

I have some "old money" and some "war money" given to me by family. (Yes, a bunch of it has that WW2 country symbol on it). I don't think you can trade a lot of it anymore.

Occupation notes are worthless currency but have collectible value. There's only a few coins that the USA proper minted that you can't use anymore, but I can't remember what they are.

I do go in to the bank and buy up their $2s every once in a while. I usually get at least 1 old bill, like 1930s or something.

The amount of people that don't know that there is a legal $2 bill is insane. My grandmother always sent them with a card for birthdays.

My father now thinks it is hilarious to gift dollar coins that everyone thinks are quarters. (I am not young, he just has a odd sense of humor).

I have been thinking about getting into coin-hunting (or whatever you call it) to collect actual silver coins. Something to do when watching a show with my Wife.

Thanks, I like when random posts turn into a interesting conversation =)
