Sell Old Currency & Paper Money in NYC
Old paper money can be worth far more than its face value, and NYC Coin Buyers buys U.S. currency of every era. Bring your notes to our downtown Manhattan office for a free appraisal, and we will tell you which are collectible and what they are worth.
Currency value comes down to the type of note, its rarity, and its condition. A crisp, uncirculated note can be worth many times the same note with heavy folds, so we handle everything carefully and grade conservatively.

How we price currency
We value each note on its series, type, and rarity, then adjust for condition. Certificates, national notes, and star notes often carry premiums, while common small-size notes may be close to face unless they are exceptional.
Grade matters more with paper than with coins, because folds, stains, and pinholes all affect the price. We handle notes by the edges and never write on or fold anything, and we explain how each figure is reached.

FAQ
Sell Old Currency & Paper Money in NYC: common questions
Is my old paper money worth more than face value?
Often, yes. Silver and gold certificates, large-size notes, national bank notes, and star notes can carry premiums well above face. Bring them in and we will tell you which of yours are collectible.
Does condition really matter for currency?
A great deal. A crisp, uncirculated note can be worth many times the same note with folds or stains, so we grade paper carefully and price accordingly.
Do you buy foreign paper money?
We focus on U.S. currency, where the collector market is deepest. Bring foreign notes along and we will take a look and point you in the right direction if they are outside what we buy.
