... But it was not "spendable" right? They only sold it as souvenir money? Because of the fame of the case?

Nope. It was a soggy, compressed, dense mess of green paper with lots of funny numbers printed on it...

Not spendable, but worth a lot more than any 20 dollar bill I currently have in my pocket!

Souvenir value only. But quite a bit. Not as much as the Zepruder film but a lucky day at the "beach", if you call a river edge a beach.
JAG:
Scanning through Part 70 of the FBI, one interesting note, and as with many anecdotes in these 302s, you get a page or two of something and then it dies and you don't see the completion of the reports so to speak. But for me, this is the first time I came across something where the FBI states they are tracking someone they believe is the hijacker. Specifically, the are tracking the redacted individual to London Heathrow Airport where they think he is there to retrieve the ransom money. This is August 1980 timeframe, so it is post Tena Bar. So even though there are a lot of statements about "the hijacker dying when he jumped" during this time frame, here is the FBI thinking they have him flying to London ?
Anyway, clearly this was a nothingburger and lead to a dead end, but I thought it was interesting none the less to throw out there to the vortex....
JAG:
I figured I would post my RAW notes from Part 70. I am a total amateur/hack, whatever you want to call it, but this is me skimming/scanning through Part 70 and just taking notes based on topics that I have read here on the forum and elsewhere. It isn't some comprehensive thing, but if it happens to peak the interest of someone more knowledgeable or someone new to the case....then great, better than dying on my laptop -- I can't even explain why I do this lol -- CHEERS !
Part 70:
- Page 13, Cossey has not provided the serial numbers of the parachutes. (9/5/72)
- Page 51, description of the paper bag that Cooper was carrying from the bathroom.
- Page 75, Cossy describing the parachutes.
- Page 85, Interview with a parachutist from Elsinore, trying to determine if he is the man who spoke to one
of the managers about jumping out of an air plane.
- Page 94, 95, more about an individual who was at Elsinore asking about jumping from a 727.
- Page 147, some parachuting club put on a sky diving show where at the end 3 men jumped from a 727 at
20,000 feet.
- Page 163, FBI lab request for studying money and separating to determine exact amount.
- Page 168, lab result stating approximatley $5800.
- Page 309, memo describing how Seattle First National Bank packed and banded the money. Money was put in
packets of $2000 each and banded with bands labeled as Seatle First National Bank, Federal Reserve or bands
of other banks. Similar information on page 317.
- Page 322,323, discussion of a VOR transmitter and receiving device as a possibility that the hijacker could
have used to locate a specific area on the ground to jump over.
- Page 340, Remarks about McCoy as suspect July 1980. It's kind of like the FBI is circling back from 1972
for some reason.
