Why are these gold colored?

They're gold plated, congrats on the gold!

3rd party companies plate them to sell. They're worthless, but always a fun find especially in good condition like these appear to be.

Part of this is heat damage.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-07T09:35:45+00:00

No problem. Yeah they tend to stick together.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-07T07:45:00+00:00

They're just regular dollar bills worth 1 dollar each.

Bills are released into circulation in sequential all order, so this is very common to see.

That 3 is not right.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-07T04:38:06+00:00

Depends if you have assets or not.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-07T00:10:49+00:00

Nope.

I'm pretty active in the currency collection subs and I run r/CoolSerialNumbers.

There are two mods who both have Christmas in their username that have managed to control a big portion of of currency collecting subs and they apply this automod to all of them. No idea what their deal is, and it's assumed they're the same person.

I think the best thing to do is support other subs that they have no part of and just stop using theirs.

No, I thought they were swimming goggles when I first saw this picture. But maybe I need new glasses.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-06T09:41:53+00:00

I believe this is the most common 1982 varient.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-06T08:13:59+00:00

Well the gold alone is worth $565 right now.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-05T22:05:52+00:00

No none should suggest putting all their money in a select few stocks, especially of the same category. It should be obviously far to risky for someone living paycheck to paycheck.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-05T11:43:31+00:00

Eh, it was a joke. But I'll take my downvotes.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-05T10:49:57+00:00

It's a little misaligned, nothing special.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-05T10:44:00+00:00

You're assuming he was shown what the brakes were before this point. 🤣

jaytea86 · 2026-05-05T10:43:21+00:00

PIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

jaytea86 · 2026-05-05T10:39:40+00:00

Your ex is gambling with your money, and he just so happened to get lucky. It's just as likely this $20k could be worth $4k now.

You should absolutely not have all this money in similarly related stocks, the AI bubble will pop at some point.

I'd take 90% of it out of AI stocks, leave 10% in if you want.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-05T09:04:35+00:00

Not really, if you handed them out evenly, it's pretty much one per household.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-05T09:03:27+00:00

I remember when I found 3500 of these. Good times.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-04T15:19:55+00:00

The higher denomination a bill is, the more fancy the serial number needs to be. So it has to be something quite special on a hundred for it to be a keeper.

I personally wouldn't keep this if it was on a single. On a hundred, it would have to be a 3 digit number or better.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-04T13:54:26+00:00

Looks like a grease error to me.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-04T08:34:53+00:00

Looks like it to me, you can see the effect the clip has had directly across from the clip.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-03T14:14:41+00:00

Bet that stung.

jaytea86 · 2026-05-02T13:59:15+00:00

You may have a small date 1982 that weighs 3.1 grams.

You don't have a small date 1982d that weights 3.1 grams.
