#11: A Century Old Surprise
Finding a stray bill on the sidewalk is always a tiny victory, but this moment turned into something far more memorable. A man walking through his neighborhood bent down to pick up what he assumed was an ordinary dollar. Only after unfolding it did he realize he was holding a relic from the past. The bill had been printed in the late 1920s, making it nearly one hundred years old and shockingly well preserved for something lying outdoors.
Most currency from that era vanished long ago through normal use or collectors snatching them up. This one somehow survived decades of circulation, transfers, pockets, wallets, and chance encounters before ending up on a quiet residential street. It was creased, worn, and a bit dirty, but still intact enough to read clearly. How such an old bill resurfaced in a random neighborhood remains a mystery that sparks the imagination.
