@emmett21, Yes, it's real. In 1968 Silver Certificate Banknotes use to be redeemable in Federal Reserve Notes and are therefore basically obsolete. Silver Certificates are still legal tender.The real value of a Silver Certificate today lies not in its ability to be used as legal tender, but for its value to the collectors. In many cases, though, collectors will purchase them for much more. Hope this was helpful & Good Luck :)
