Unless of course you have a $ bill that is a specie note. I have a few ten dollar bills that state that they are redeemable for specie.

You'll have much better luck taking them to a numismatist than to Fort Knox. Specie notes are, to the best of my knowledge, no longer redeemable in specie.

Right! All redemption promises were repudiated. Gold in 1933, silver somewhat later.
