In some places in Europe, like Sweden, when new bills are released, and if you don't get your old exchanged they will soon enough become worthless. So don't stuff cash in your matress or you'll lose it eventually.
- PopAlongKid 3y agoNot that different in U.S. The older bills without modern anti-counterfeiting (colored threads, holograms, etc) already attract increased scrutiny (not exactly worthless, but heading in the same direction). I recently went to an In-N-Out with a $50 bill from around the turn of the century, and a manager had to be called over to inspect it.
- KomoD 3y agoThat's very different, it was inspected but you could still use it...? It was not invalid.
- PopAlongKid 3y agoThat's why I wrote "not exactly worthless, but heading in the same direction".
- Too 3y agoThat's more a technicality of the carrier. There's nothing lost in the value, you just have to replace them with newer version. Any sane country would do this if old bills turn out to be easily forged.
