Paper money that is NOT wanted

A few things that are not selling too well at this time are common date, circulated modern currency, common date $2 bills, paper money dated after 1934, $20 bills from the last few years, and common modern dollars. These are VERY common. None of that stuff sells well. Spend them. We do not buy unless we must as part of a larger collection of good paper money.
