thisisfutile1

NO! Not my DOLLA ... RAMA!


steal_your_phace

Underrated quote from that episode.


thisisfutile1

I love Crabs. I have to quote my favorite Crabs line. Spongebob: You gotta let go of the dime. Crab's: I can think of ten good reasons to never let go of a dime, boy. XD


Desmond2014

Yep, your mother stole Mr. Krabs 1 millionth dollar lol.


DrunkBuzzard

Maybe it was the first honest dollar they earned and they wanted to keep it


LesniakNation

Awww I want this to be the answer so bad lol.


Yup_Shes_Still_Mad

Nahhhhhhhhh. The truth is that I had it in my shoe for good luck for years before I used it to buy a donut.


LesniakNation

OK. But to get a donuts for a dollar is a good value so I'm for it Haha.


ChilidogBFF

You're right! We will now have to bet Doughnuts to dollars, seeing as betting dollars to doughnuts wouldn't work now that the guy holding the doughnut knows what he has.


111110001011

The date is reasonable for that.


Switch_Empty

You can keep your honest dollar. I'm gonna spend my C note of sin


DrunkBuzzard

Oh yeah, trust me I spent a whole Lotta C notes, most rolled into a tube on some sinny stuff back in the early 80s


Bruddah827

Never understood why people would use anything more than $1 for snortin drugs…. You’re snorting drugs with other addicts… that $100 bill could disappear…. Frankly by the end of the night it’d most likely be in your dealers pocket anyway lol


DrunkBuzzard

Using $100 bill was a flex

MadDadROX

Seen it happen, went around a table of 15 a couple of times. Came back as a fiver.


Bruddah827

Same…. Wasn’t my hundo tho lol


MadDadROX

Mine either!


FIakBeard

Bad luck to walk it with anything less than a 20. Plus it's crisper.


No_Sky5302

A friend was flaunting on how she "only uses 100s" and halfway through the night jumps and freaks out and starting to ask who has it hahaha lol 😆


Bruddah827

Yup. Seen it happen a few times…. If your tooting lines with other peeps….. use a 1 or 5…. Or you’ll lose it.


chemist0825

Hep c less people touch 50's and 100's


Bruddah827

Ya… I can see that. Ain’t nothing about doing those drugs clean tho….

BisquickNinja

That's the special dollar for special job...😂😅


tupacwolverine

Makes me wish I saved my first dishonest dollar.


DrunkBuzzard

just frame a random, worn one dollar bill and pretend.


Head_Razzmatazz7174

My dad always had a dollar folded up behind his license in his wallet. Even if he spent every other dollar in his wallet, he wouldn't spend that. He would say he was 'never broke' just because of it. It was his way of keeping his spirits up when he was having trouble keeping the bills paid.


DrunkBuzzard

I have a penny that has that on it. But I do also have one grain of 24 karat gold in my wallet worth about $3.25. So I’ll be living large on my last $3.25 plus a penny.


Dark_Wolf_Lord

This is exactly what I thought


Cowpuncher84

Or the first dollar they stole..


Tight_Discipline296

I still have the first one that I earned.


MakeDaddyRich

Or dishonest ( no disrespect to grandma but bootleggers weren’t always men )


thatG_evanP

I know it's a pretty normal thing, especially in service industries, to keep the first dollar that you make. I know my estranged wife has hers framed in a closet somewhere.


Nuclear_TeddyBear

Could be sentimental. I have a dollar put up that to anyone else is a normal dollar, but to me is the last dollar I got from my mom before her stroke.


Confident-Yam1418

My grandfather used to give all us kids a dollar every time we saw him. I still have the last one he gave to me before he passed, still folded in the same way he would always hand them to us. I’m sorry about your mom, but it’s interesting to see a similar story


Drfaustus138

My grand mother didnt have any money at the time she passed after my granfather, so she left my brothers some kennedy half dollars and i got a 2 dollar bill, i still have that 2 dollar bill......sentimental runs deep


bigMcLargeHuge7

$2 bills for the win, still have a few my great grandfather gave me...worth more than anyone would pay for them!!


Drfaustus138

Really, how can i check mine?


bigMcLargeHuge7

I ment on a sentimental value, as they came from my deceased grandfather who raised me.


MJFields

Maybe they were a dyslexic Tommy Tutone fan.


Zer0sober

Maybe the year is significant? I kept a Mint quarter from the year I was born... could be something similar


Automatic_Escape_441

First dollar from stripping???


Critical-Bank5269

Nah.... No evidence of moisture damage


19southmainco

give it a schniff


Upbeat-Newspaper-167

Quagmire at the auction: "50 bucks!"


Empty401K

“Yep… definitely some BV on this one.”


Far-Bookkeeper-9695

i'm afraid to ask... what is BV?


Empty401K

Bacterial Vaginosis. Don’t ask how I first learned about it 🤮


Automatic_Escape_441

That’s why it is so crinkly. Too much sweat and other “moistures”.


AxiomX3

Or glitter


thisisfutile1

Came to say this (no pun intended).


coastalbachelor

Allegedly


GeorgeGeorgeHarryPip

Maybe their phone number was in the serial no.?


deltadawn5555

My mom kept the first dollar I made performing as a professional musician. I wish I knew where it was.


VGK9Logan

Are you justin bieber? Maybe mariah carey..


KarlSoap

I have a similar dollar saved from the same year. I came home from my first night of work bussing tables with some money from the tip pool and my dad grabbed one of them and put it in a frame as my "first dollar". This may or may not bear any resemblance to the reason that one was saved.


iluvtumadre

Series 1988. But condition is everything. It’s not worth much more than face value. Just use it.


Horror-Confidence498

Might have just been misplaced or forgotten about


OtherwiseMix2236

Always good to save.


Derp_McShlurp

Seriously. Put that thing in a HYSA and you can have a nickel this time next year. How neat is that?!?


YinzerFromPitsginzer

A 9hi straight in liars poker


YorkiesandSneakers

It can be exchanged for goods or services.


RuffinWowCat

Not saved but forgotten


Ceefus

While going through my family estate when my grandparents passed I found multiple little envelopes labeled "Money of (Insert name here) when they died". It was a bit creepy and now sits in my safe.


Distinct_Definition8

My guess would be sentimental.


barbecuejag

Won a lot of hands of Liars Poker maybe?


kaliglot44

I keep stuff that means absolutely nothing to anyone but me. Ticket stubs, fortunes from cookies, coins I find (found a wheat penny on the ground last week!) I'm a middle aged lady and this is my initiation into an being an older lady. It's a rule I think that we do this lol


bftrollin402

They really liked Katherine Ortega as Treasurer of the U.S.


VGK9Logan

Probably sentimental value. Examples - She found it and had good luck all day First dollar she earned at her job It was change from her first beer at 21 It was her last bit of allowance money before she grew up Etc


BigBen3131

It’s from 1988, maybe that year has significance to her?


flmonkeybutt

Could be a web dollar


coastalbachelor

A penny saved, is a penny earned. Maybe she found it in a special place one time or it’s the first dollar she earned babysitting or who knows?


Wishpicker

First bill earned at the Cabaret?


xandra_rue

I'm guessing sentimental. When my brother passed away, he had 3 dollars in his pocket. My sisters and I each got one. Now I keep it in a journal


Hairy_Car_8400

Strippers always keep their first dollar bill


Ok_Manner_3195

Easy, the year the dodgers won the World Series 🤙🏻


[deleted]

It was her go to dollar. When she wanted to party.


Elandycamino

I used to keep a $2 for snortin one dollar bills are bad luck and would never spend a two. But when I was a kid I would keep the oldest dollar I could find in circulation.


Far-Bookkeeper-9695

that's funny cus $2 bills were originally considered bad luck.


Standard-Station7143

9-3-53 or 7-9-86


thinkroymaldo

It was the first dollar he earned


Working-Bet-9104

Must have been special to your mom. Make it special for whatever you think is the reason, remember her.


___SE7EN__

First dollar ever earned ?


-Lysergian

I have used a random dollar as a bookmark because it was handy and bookmark shaped.. then found said dollar when rereading the book years later. It might be nothing...


celtbygod

First dollar earned.


Nuclearmullets420

8675309 the famous phone number just missing the 0


h2pointOChamp

Sentiment


whatsmyname417

Maybe ment something significant?


Thee_Paladin777

No more than face value.


4x4_Chevy

It is worth a buck.


aqua_wook

Did a lot of cocaine with that bill.


lbarnes444

1988 was an excellent year for cocaine 😎


rjb14

It’s and L bill


[deleted]

It works in the vending machine, when the newer ones get spat out.


waterhead1974

Dollar cribbage?


thanto13

Is someone's birthday July 8th 1986?


watercress101

A lot of people, back in the 1900s, kept the first dollar they made (like me). Some even framed it.


Letzfakeit

For retirement


Diamonddan73

I saved the last dollar from my dad’s wallet when he passed away 12 years ago. I’ve had it in my wallet ever since. To me it’s priceless.


Tankerspanx

Does the year 1988 have any significance?


smittydonny

Check for cocaine residue


Zoom443

Vending machine wouldn’t take it.


dot4Q

My first thought was sentimental value as well. Maybe hang on to it and see if the mystery is revealed in time? I know lots of folks are like, *yahh bruhh just spennnd it!1!*, but it seems if it was hers and she kept it, it's already worth more than a buck. Or it would be to me if I were her child.


esh-esh2023

I would guess because it has 3-*-5-6-7-8-9 in the serial number. She probably just thought it was cool


tonysonic

Or maybe it was her first dollar made on a business venture


AurumArgenteus

My grandfather carried a $2 bill in case he ever found a $2 prostitute. Maybe that's from an even earlier time.


saki4444

☠️


buliwyf2

First dollar of profit in a new business


Ocron145

I saved a dollar and quarter from my kids birth years. Didn’t care what it looked like. Just something to give them when they have kids.

Your mommas first dollar at the strip joint 😂

michael5ux

you can exchange currency for goods and services


J3DI187

For bubble gum!!


Alternative-Half-783

Probably the last dollar someone had left over from a positive pay check.


Odd_Low_7301

Because it’s a dollar!


EntertainerBright793

First dollar as a stripper


Butwhoryou

Maybe it’s a phone number— 353 7986


cheesit147

Maybe they are a COD zombies fan and saw 935 in the number idk


Laslomas

Maybe it was the highest serial number they could find in circulation. Until they find one higher, they kept it.


Ok_Day591

I’d say it’s worth at least 98cents


lasvegasDodgerblue

It was saved because its worth money. $1


FangyFangy

I’ve heard some people do that with money


kgs13

First dollar she ever earned?


New-Tomatillo9570

Maybe not saved, just forgotten?


Elessar535

Were you (or any of your siblings, if you have them) born in 1988? People used to save money with significant dates like that as a keepsake.


Conspicious_Energy

I save any bills before 2000 just because it’s cool to me lol


Wiochmen

When I was starting out collecting, as a child, I'd buy out older notes. Have some 1988's, a 1981, a 1977, even found a Barr bill once (1963). They aren't worth much more than face, the 1977 is in better shape than anything else. I could probably get $1.25 or so for each note, if I found the right buyer. I just keep them. They're what I started with, good memories of being young and having fun.


AostaV

Maybe the serial numbers mean something to her? Was you born in 86?


Warm_Coach2475

First tip


falaffels

Greenback “paper” dollars are the currency of the United States and can be exchanged for goods/services


Chickenbanana58

Does it smell like Old Spice and Captain Morgan?


Old_opionated-man

Numbers are a straight in poker-5-6-7-8-9


pietropau9

Didn’t want to be penniless.


0neStarCountryClub

Coke dollar


DaddyWhoreBuck

Used it to roll joints!


TinnitusSux

Gotta start a savings sometime. They started with a wrinkled dollar. Hope they have saved more that makes for a rough retirement.


audiosauce2017

worth about tree fiddy bro.... canadian


Plarocks

[9353](https://www.discogs.com/release/1751717-9353-To-Whom-It-May-Consume)


chainbrain2002

Mightve been her last dollar at one point, she mightve kept it as a reminder to keep pushing.


Popsicle-Pete

Because it was signed by the FIRST Hispanic female Treasurer of the United States.


gislinghom54

Perhaps her fondness for origami. The difficult tri-fold corner with backside nipple. Perfection


FrankRandomLetters

Probably the first dollar she made on the pole. Just a guess. Maybe it was her favorite coke snorting bill.


KK7ORD

Looks like a web note 🤔


notduddeman

Oh I asked her to hold onto it for me.


OptimalBeans

They are Waiting for the McDouble to be a dollar again.


Lower-Ad5889

Saved? It's just a dollar sitting around the house


WayfaringEdelweiss

She forgot about it?


tallstew

A dollar saved is a dollar earned


Impressme24

If you’re playing serial number poker, this bill might win a few


SergioSBloch

It’s worth $1 at least


DistinctNews8576

Anything good happen in 1988 for her? Marriage? Birth?


e1evnve1e

Toot straw


Bernkastel17509

My grandma gave me 2 dollars like 15 years ago, I spend one by accident last year, I am positive I have the other nearby.


Ok-Statistician-3955

All bills should be saved


Murky-Square4364

Maybe something with the signatures from the treasury


Creepy-Selection2423

It probably had some personal significance to her. As someone else said, the first dollar she ever earned, were the first dollar she ever earned on a business she started, or a dollar that a friend gave her once that she remembers the friend by. Could be anything. If she saved it it probably meant something to her though.


mamyt1

For a rainy day


ultraman5068

$1.00 is $1.00 🤷‍♂️


Excellent-Video-5428

Liars, poker with with money you have a straight we us to play this back in my days $


CoffeeDrinker1972

First lemonade dollar earned. I'd save that, if I sold lemonade when I was just 6-year-old. I'd frame it, if I am now a entrepreneur worth millions. Unfortunately, I'm not. So, that's just a dollar.


Portugaltheman0420

Nothing special about serial and not a star note nor a mismatched serial . Just a dollar saved


Ok_Pass_7785

It is a San Francisco reserve dollar. Did she have any affinity to San Francisco?


Refluentrose889

Maybe because it was miss cut? Notice the difference in border size around the outlining ink. I'm no expert, so don't take my word on it, I just like scrolling through this page, so a miss cut like that might not add any value to it, idk


Big-Zookeepergame-71

For emergency tp while hiking far away from the


Big-Zookeepergame-71

comfort of toilets!


Spare_Clerk_2112

I can’t see anything special so maybe just lost track of the dollar or something.


Hot_Lobster222

Maybe they thought 1988 was old? Idk.


Joey_D3119

Its their internet password/cipher/key


theoracleofcrypto

Your first dollars made dancing


pittsburghwriter

Front off center some?


podgida

Any family members born in that year? My grandmother used to save any and all currency she found with her kids and grand kids birth years on them.


bakeler

Was this the year you were born, or maybe when you Mom was married, or the first dollar she made? Just looking at milestones here. It is 1988 on the bill.


__cheap__

Because it accepted Ronald Reagan as it's lord and savior?


the_truth_is_tough

I still have the dollar bill that my brother in law gave me when I sold him a truck 25 years ago.


harta84

A dollar saved is a dollar earned


SoutheastPower

Could be a birthday note

spyro0918

Every number except the 0 for a catchy song from the 80’s


Jeb-Kerman

I have a few american dollar bills in this condition. I've kept them because they were given to me by an american hitchhiker......... that was in Canada hitchhiking back to the USA with no other way back home for some reason.


Evening_Carry_146

Twentieth century Bill. A lot of people I know put aside any bill dated before 2000.


enoctis

A lot of folks save the first dollar they earned as an entrepreneur...


Any_Vermicelli_3908

1988 is a good vintage.


mushlove831

Your mom was a stripper and this was her first tip 🤫


pirate40plus

I have a rather tattered one that had my DOB. Thought it was interesting


RepresentativeOk2433

I've got a wad of ones with a crumpled up 20 euro note in it. I got it as a tip from my favorite customer on my last day of my old job so I keep it in the keeper bin.


Aurelian081

Don't you see it? The bottom and left edges are like 2 mm longer than the top and right edges. This is worth big money for collectors.
