What we buy
Sell Old Currency & Paper Money in Lawrence, KS
Old paper money often carries far more than its printed value, and we buy U.S. currency from every era at our Lawrence office. Spread the notes on the counter for a free look and you will leave knowing which ones collectors want and what each is worth.
Currency comes down to the type of note, how scarce it is, and its condition. The same note can be worth many times more crisp and unfolded than it is worn, so we handle everything carefully and grade with a conservative eye.

How currency is valued
We value each note on its series, type, and rarity, then adjust for condition. Certificates, national notes, and star notes often bring premiums, while common small-size notes may be near face unless they are exceptional.
Grade counts for even more with paper than with coins, since folds, stains, and pinholes all move the price. We handle notes by the edges, never fold or mark them, and explain how each figure is reached.

FAQ
Sell Old Currency & Paper Money in Lawrence, KS: common questions
Is my old paper money worth more than face value?
Frequently, yes. Certificates in silver and gold, the oversized notes from before 1928, national bank issues, and star notes routinely sell for multiples of what is printed on them. Lay yours out here and we will sort the collectible from the ordinary.
How much does condition matter for currency?
A lot. The same note, one flat and crisp and the other creased and spotted, can be separated by a factor of ten, so paper gets graded slowly here and priced to whatever it honestly is.
Do you buy foreign banknotes?
We focus on U.S. currency, where the collector market is deepest. Foreign notes are still worth putting in front of us, and if they sit outside what we buy we will say where to take them next.
