I do remember finding one or two dollar bills with the Joseph Barr sig on them. With the rate the old paper money gets destroyed by the treasury, I bet those are pretty rare now.
very cool!

I have only recently started collecting bills, but I don't collect many of them, because in my mind's eye they are not a "safe" of an investment than something that is made of silver ect...

Anyway, I do show my little bill collection to people every now and then, and it seems like no one ever realized the signatures changed.
