5's vs 20's

Anyone notice that there are far more hits/# entered on 5's than there are for 20's? Could this be that there were more 5's entered early on and 20's have overtaken them recently? Wassup?

Interesting. Additional information: expected circulation time for $5: 1 year; $20: 2 year; $10: 1 year; $50: 5 years. Then, retired for shredding.

Perhaps 5's move around a bit quicker.

They go from location to location, while a 20 may end up in a deposit bag, and back to the bank.

I look at it this way…if a $20 bill has a 2 year life, and a $5 bill has a one year life, then $20 in fives gives you 4 bill-years, where a $20 bill is only two bill-years.

<Most of the 20's I get are in pretty good shape, but the 5's are like rags. Same with the tens. When I choose which bills to mark, I always do the 100's and 50's, 20's etc. first. If I have time I do 10's and 5's. Hopefully The larger denominations get more respect and last longer > generate more hits, although I have to say I'm a little disapointed so far on my # of hits… Maybe it's my stamp??

Have patience! You've only had bills out there for 3 weeks!!!

It took some people here months to get their first hit. They'll start coming, don't worry.
