Pawn Stars: RARE Legal Tender SHOCKS Rick (Season 13) | History

I like it when it’s a good deal for both par­ties. Way to go Rick!

How much for the repo bud­dy l truck $$$?

For the love of balls, don’t touch cen­turies old things, espe­cial­ly paper with­out gloves.

If you own some­thing like these then you know all about them. So quit the his­to­ry lessons Ricky.

should have offered him 70 bucks right off the bat

I find it annoy­ing that the experts always ask what Rick­’s con­cerns are as if they gave no idea what they are there to do.

kill the back­ground music. so annoying

Nobody was shocked…

Wow, this seemed good all the way around. I’d love to see more like this.

Lol pawn low­ball everybody.

He did­n’t even need to frame them.

You should feel great dude you just sold $70 bucks to a pawn shop for $22,000 LOL!!!

Im wait­ing 4 da new 2021 episodes to come out with da coro­n­avirus masks🤣🤣🤣

Why sell to a pawn shop when you could take it to an auc­tion house yourself?

My soul hurt when he said “ can you take 17”

now anoth­er col­lec­tor can buy them. how inter­est­ing. maybe they should start anoth­er pawn shop show to see if they would want to buy some of the items from this pawn shop show

Expert: Takes out old and rare paper mon­ey that is high val­ue with his dirty, greasy hands!🤣🤣 wow.

Backed by noth­ing😂 just like today’s money

I always won­der what Rick gets when he sells some of these items. Like these!

Rick was dead wrong in say­ing those bills weren’t backed by any­thing. It was the direct oppo­site. Every dol­lar was backed by some part of the econ­o­my includ­ing gold and sil­ver reserves. The $20 bill there is a Trea­sury Note. They were called “coin notes” because the bill has “Redeemable in coin” on the front. They were backed by sil­ver and/or gold, whichev­er was avail­able. One could exchange those bills for coin at any bank on demand, so it’s com­plete­ly wrong to say they weren’t backed by any­thing. Back then, they had numer­ous types of bills such as Trea­sury Notes, Nation­al Bank Notes, Legal Ten­der Notes, Gold Cer­tifi­cates, Sil­ver Cer­tifi­cates, etc. The rea­son why is because every type of bill, by law, had to be backed by one seg­ment of the econ­o­my. Gold certs were backed by phys­i­cal gold, every sin­gle dol­lar. Same as sil­ver certs, same as trea­sury notes (the green­back).
==
Nation­als, which includ­ed brown back style bills (one was sold on Pawn Stars to Corey) were backed by the gov­ern­ment. The govt would spec­i­fy how many dol­lars could be print­ed of any type. They enact­ed acts that stat­ed that the US Mint could print $158,921,349 in gold certs, for exam­ple. They came up w/ weird num­bers like that. Every dol­lar had to be backed by some­thing. It was­n’t until Nixon took us off the gold stan­dard that we went to the fiat mon­ey sys­tem of today. Now every bill is a Fed­er­al Reserve Note. Up until 1966, there were also trea­sury notes w/ red num­bers and seal. They print­ed 1966 series $100 trea­sury notes in red and in the 50s and back, there were red number/seal $2s and $5s. Most of the red bills went to Puer­to Rico, but they do exist. That was the very last kind of bill that was­n’t the fed­er­al reserve note that we have today. The 1966 $100s were the very last non fed­er­al reserve note. If you find a $2 bill from the 1950s w/ red num­bers, that was a trea­sury note, NOT a fed­er­al reserve note, get it?

Jjjjjjjj

Cus­tomer: i want $35,000
Rick: the best i can do is $70

Get your grub­by lit­tle hands off the bill!
