ROYERSFORD, Pa. (AP) -- A suburban Philadelphia man has perhaps the most valuable ten-spot you'll ever see.
Thirty-nine-year-old Billy Baeder, of Royersford, owns a 1933 $10 silver certificate that an auctioneer says is worth at least a half-million dollars.
The bill bears an unusual inscription, "Payable in silver coin to bearer on demand," and has the serial number "A00000001A." It is perhaps the most valuable bill printed since 1929, when bills were shrunk to their current size.

Depending on the year and condition of the coin, they are worth $25-$45. The price fluctuates also depending on the price of silver.

Nickel slots all over the west.
Nickel phone calls in New Orleans.
19 cent gas
I remember them all.
Depending on the condition and series, it could be worth $20. Or $500. Or a few thousand. Or “So what tropical island do you want to buy?”
Might want to check it out..
I hope he doesn’t send it to the treasury for an “estimate”. They’ll never return it.
if in mint condition, numismatically it’s worth a lot more than $10. it i a ful dollar so it’s at lest $22. in mint shape depending on year, it could be $35-90.
Thanks for the info. His Mother will be keeping it for him for a long time before she gives it to him.
I knew I would eventually spend it so I told Mother to just keep it for me. When she died, I went and got it then gave it to my Grandson.
Amazing...thanks.
The SAFETY AND SECURITY of you and YOUR FAMILY is worth more than ANYTHING.
FAME is WORTH NOTHING!
Just SHUT UP!

5 cents for a cup of coffee...
I remember when cokes went from a nickel to six cents. Everyone said they would quit drinking them. They only stayed six cents for a short time then went to a dime.
I suspect they had planned to make it a dime all along. They went to six cents to make it look like a small increase. Using a nickel and a penny was a little irritating and a dime meant just one coin again.
they did the same think with a cup of coffee, people said they’d quit drinking coffee. Now its $5 bucks at Starbucks..:O)
