Bunch of old money found in unopened wedding envelopes from 1949.

I've been helping my mother clean up her house to get ready to sell it and helping her go through her deceased husband's things. He had about 3 storage units worth of stuff so it's been a time consuming process.

Today we started on the last and largest pile. She's been finding money squirelled away as she goes through things, just in random places. Today she was going through a box of what looked like greeting cards. Her husband had inherited all of his father's things and he did not throw anything away. Long story short, there were wedding cards in envelopes in that pile and there was money inside a lot of them. His parents were married in 1949. I just thought it was crazy that wedding gift money had never even left the envelope in over 75 years.

I'm not sure if any of this might be worth a touch more than face value, the $100 bill fooled me until I looked closer, it's creased but looks and feels brand new. There's also a bunch of $10 and $20 bills from 1950 mixed in, some are exceptional, most not. Advice appreciated!

Edit: Just to clarify, only the 100 dollar bill came out of the wedding congratulation envelope. If you look at the date on the 100 you can see it's 1934. The other ones were mixed in, it was a pretty big box of envelopes. Oh well, you can believe or disbelieve, I was in a bit of disbelief myself.

Got these at Work

Hey everyone I am new here. I’m just wondering if either of these older bills are interesting in any particular way? We tested the 100 for counterfeit and it seems to be real. Thank you!

Should I clean the coins?

For years, every time I go on holiday, I’ve kept some coins and notes. I’m finally getting around to putting them into a folder… is it recommended to clean the coins before I do this?

Interesting serial numbers

Anyone know if these are any good ones? The first picture are what I think are called “radars” BUT they’re all off by a number or two

The next picture is gas station numbers but very slightly and not real drastic, also on the bill that ends in 6033, the 3’s ink is kinda smudged and then there’s that stray green dot up above the zero, idk if that makes it valuable or not

And the third picture are some star notes and a pretty low serial number twenty.

Thanks for looking! Any info or if anyone knows if they are worth any thing more than face value that would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks

B.E.N?

Whats up everyone. I'm a pretty amateur collector of old bills and coins. I just think its cool to have old money. Not sure why, byt anyways. I was digging around my collection and found this coin. Anyone know what the B.E.N stands for? I'm assuming the 66 is its grade. Any help is appreciated!

Are these worth anything ?

Looking through my collection and pulled out the ones I don’t believe are worth more than face value. Ik it is a fare amount to look through the bills in most interested in are
$2 Bill D06079200A (front printing is off center)
$1 bill G01711160*. (Upper right safety number “7” is smudged)

Any help is appreciated greatly.

60 sequential $2 bills

I came across 60s sequential uncirculated two dollar bills. What do you guys think the value is? I don’t think I’ll be holding onto them.

Fun Serial Number

I thought this was a cool serial number. Think any other collectors might feel the same?

Red Seal, low serial number

Was wondering if anyone might be able to help me on a rough estimate on the value of this red seal $100 bill please. Got it from my local bank. Might be selling it to a collector locally but want to find a fair price for it. Thank you!
