It's possible, though I'm talking about the late 80s, and most of the money looked fairly crisp and new, so I don't think it was someone's hidden hoard or anything.

Honestly still sounds like my grandpa. He would go to the bank every paycheck and request iirc 20% of it in cash. He wasn't a coin or bill collector like tc. He just knew old quarters had silver in them and thought that certain denominations would end up collectable. So he had a big stockpile of $2 bills he kept crisp and in new condition, when those state quarters started he made sure all the grandkids got everyone you could get, had had a whole safe full of dollar and half dollar coins. After he died I think my aunt who works as an antique dealer went through his whole collection and found that they were basically all valued at face value.
