Thread: Strap-stackers post your results.

I picked up a few old notes today. I usually crh but ask for notes sometimes.
$20 1934c well circulated
$10 1950d great condition
$5 1950a great condition
$1 1957b well circluated
$1 1969d great condition
$1 1981 great condition

picked up 37 $2 red seal notes, including 2 1928 (series F & G)

Any ideas on what to look for? Value (both for with & without writing on the 53's, the 28's both have some writing on them.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Do you usually ask for $2s when you get halves?
I don't usually ask, but I'll take them if they offer them to me.

No, these were offered, and I wasn't even getting halves. The tellers in my local branch know that I am on the lookout for interesting items.

Hm. Well cool, congrats!

Todays strap stacking results: (all singles and one $5)
1977 JB (probably my highlight find for today)
1988 BE (these 1988 $1's are quite tough to find)
1993 LG
1995 EK (finally... My first 1995 E..)
1995 LW
2001 JA (XF)
2006 F66963933P
2006 L00006154R
2006 J*
(2) 2006 L*'s
2006 $5 IF* (yes, I do look through straps of $5's)

Looked through 100 $1 today... nothing but a where's george and one with four 4's in a row. Change from the grocery later in the day, got a $1 star that's well circulated.

This week I went through 1,500 singles and the highlights include: several stars mostly from the K district, 1985 E-D, 1988A J-C, L-D and L-Y, 1995 B-Bx2 (both of which came from different sources), E-B, E-P, G-D, I-K, J-M and a L-J.

All singles:
1988A LP
1993 LD
1995 IH
2006 G09955595D
2009 L91989898A
2009 L33333833J.

Only had time to go through 1 strap of 100 $1's, today, and my finds consist of:

1995 JM
1995 JJ
1995 BX
2001 DD

Kind of meh, but the '95 BX is pretty cool. I like finding those high block letters.

I also got a very, very nice (probably XF+) 1996 AJ-A $50 from my bank, today. Will probably spend it, though, because I don't save anything higher than $20's. Its hard for me to justify sitting on the high face value.

Got my first 295 note

These are $2 bills

Picked up all the $2 notes that my local TD had in their mutilated/returns bag.
And got two replacements out of the 42 I got. (am liking that percentage)

For all the foreigners on the board.
The $2 note was removed from circulation in 1996 and all but two of the notes were from the previous 1974-1985 series. So its quite rare to find so many, especially the older ones.

Strap of 100 $1...
2009 F06144777A, I like the 777
2006 G02834682*
2006 J74261992B, I believe this would qualify as a birthday note, correct?
