changing old US dollars

[1FinickyOne]

I have some old 100 dollar notes that I have heard are no longer accepted or easily exchanged at local banks - 

 

Is there any place in Thailand that I can go to cash them, or exchange for new 100 notes? 

 

Thanks.

Indeed, I ran into that problem a long time ago shortly after the new bills came out.  Had a wad of 100s in my pocket from my credit union, didn't notice 2 or 3 were the old version.  Currency changer in BKK wouldn't take them even then. 

 

Found a fairly recent thread on this, maybe will give you some ideas.  One guy on page 2 said he was able to change old notes at a BKK Super Rich in the last year or so.  Good luck.

Not in Myanmar for sure. They are very picky re crisp, clean new notes.

Or Singapore.  FWIW, there is a (US) Navy Federal Credit Union on the Singapore (Sembawang) Navy base.  Getting access to the base and membership with the credit union are barriers though.  Thought I would mention if you knew someone down there or had mil connection of some kind.
