If it's a common bill, of course. After all, banks and ATMs are regularly supplied with uncirculated bills, which is of course how they are put into circulation.

But if the bill is a collector's item it would be foolish to spend it at face value because it would sell for a premium to a dealer or collector.

How do you tell if a silver certificate is uncirculated?

For any bill, not just silver certificates, the term uncirculated means it's never been spent. If a bill shows any wear, it's a good bet that it's been used to buy something. However if a bill was only used once and still retains its crispness it may be difficult to distinguish it from an uncirculated specimen. In these cases the bill may be graded as "almost uncirculated", pending inspection by an experienced grader.


How do you know if money is uncirculated?

"Uncirculated" simply means "never been spent and in change" so if you have a new coin or bill (banknote) from the bank or a cash machine, it's considered to be uncirculated. As soon as it's spent at a store or put in a vending machine it's been in circulation. Of course if you have to prove that an item is uncirculated, that's more difficult. There are companies that get coins and bills directly from banks and resell them, and both the Mint (coins) and BEP (bills) will sell you uncirculated examples of their products. Then you know they're truly never circulated, but you'll have to pay extra for that assurance.

"Uncirculated" means a coin has never been spent, and is in the same brand-new condition it was when it came from the mint. If your coin has any wear from being in change, it's no longer uncirculated.
