    Default Straight from my mother-in-law mattress...help with "old " banknotes.

    Well, my mother-in-law decided to cash out her stashed money.
    There are all kind of notes with older designs.
    I guess a bank would exchange them for current notes.
    What I am trying to figure out is if they have any value beyond nominal value.
    I really don't know much about numismatic, and would not know who to ask without getting ripped off.
    Anyone can help?
    A few examples:

    Only face value unless they are silver or gold certificate bills. And rare misprint bills that made it past QC.

    And some ?red? seal bills. ( made until the early 1960s.)

    Agreed, face value for the four shown.

    For instance there's a 1942 Walking Liberty (there's plenty more but I haven't had the chance to look into it yet).
    According to the interwebs those are worth at least $7.80.
    Where should I go to sell those ?
    Any recommendations?

    Silver coins are definitely more valuable.

    Never realized that a young Liberty with a winged helmet was a fascist. I've always known them as Mercury dimes.

    Not the liberty, the symbol on the other side, what we call in Italy "Fascio Littorio", originally a Roman symbol.
