Older dollar bills

[djpadd]

I have come across some of the older style dollar bills ($10, $20, $50, all the same colour) from a previous trip that i forgot to get changed back.

Are these still legal tender?

Thanks

Just take them to a bank or a bureau de change and I am sure they will accept them.

"Are old US notes still legal tender?
Every note that has ever been backed by the US Government is still honored by the US Government. Although depositing an 1863 gold certificate for face value would be utterly foolish, it's still legally possible"

I found this. It may pay you to take a trip to the neares bank on arrival and ask if they will exchange them for new style ones as some shops may not think they are still legal.

The colored notes came out around 2003 IIRC but many in circulation are still the plain green notes so are perfectly fine to use. The colors are not as bold as the £ Sterling note colors; they are more subtle.

Thanks all,
I wasn't sure if they took old ones out of circulation like they do here in the uk
