This is what I came up with;

In 1973 the U.S. Government tested a new press to make U.S. currency. The test was done in Germany on a Giori press with both the front and back designs. The test runs were later sold to an American collector who sold them off to dealers.

 

interesting. That's kind of cool! And nice find on the 2's. Ask them if they had any more?

 

Thanks! Were you able to locate approx. how many? This was the first one I had ever seen. I had seen a few that had been graded going for big bucks so I thought this would be a good unique note to hold on to.

 

Sorry I didn't see any info on total mintage, but judging the value of these guys I can assume there is only a hand full out there.
It certainly is a great addition to any currency collection that tells it's own story in history. I'm curious if the creation of the Fort Worth facility was a by product. In stead of making them faster on a different press, we'll just add a new facility. I'm just speculating, but would certainly be cool to connect the two?
Do you know if the note use intaglio? Basically do you feel any texture when you run your finger over it?

 

I didnt feel any texture on it like an intaglio. I'll try and do some research but it is difficult to find.

 

Another fun part of paper money?? Collecting. 1866

 

I've been saving star notes from change for a long time. The last one I got was from a tip, and it's probably the lowest serial note I've ever received, star note or not. It's been a good week for change for me, what with finding a 2002 Indiana state quarter with a die crack and what I think to also be a small cud error as well as this. Wish this bill had been treated better, but I'm keeping it all the same!

 

My latest WWII Emergency note, from a fellow Coin Talk member.

 

Look what I got today! The PCGS Population Report is 4 with 0 higher, and with a great serial number.







I also got this one:



It matches well with this note that I already had:

Got this today. I've been looking for a decent example for a while.

 

Just got back from the Steelton, PA show an hour ago. While they didn't have too much paper money wise there, I was able to pick up my first 1929 National Bank Note. FR of NY in Fine condition for $20!! My book says it's worth $100, but I''m not sure if that is correct. Can anyone tell me if that is a value error in the price guide?

I was able to snag the $5 for $10 (it's not cut as off-center as the scan shows - stupid scanner) and I picked up the "error" note for $2. It looks like it could have been doctored and washed and pressed, but my microscope will be able to tell me exactly what is going on with it. Either way, it would be a good example of what to look for in doctored notes.

 

The scan of the 1963A $1 Philadelphia note shows an unusual texture where the serial numbers and seal once were, or should have been. The entire note has the look of being washed, so my guess would be fake error.

 

+1 Steve, my thoughts exactly. It would be a good informative piece to show others what can be done to fake errors and what to be on the lookout for.

 

I myself am unable to see what it is you guys see.. Looks real enough to me... How do you tell? I am still learning very much on error notes and I personally own very few, all which are minor.

 

New notes received last week to replace lower grade notes in my collection:

 

You really think so? I bought one as soon as I could hoping that there wouldn't be any more print runs...

 

I also added these two notes to my 1976 $2 FRN First Day of Issue collection:
