I had forgotten all about the BEP issued Premium Historical Portfolio I stashed away years ago. It contains one example of the 1995 $20 (Richmond district), and a new design (big head) 1996 $20 (Boston district). Limited to 10,000 sets and a low numbered 1996 example. I had loaned it to my son to take to school for "show and tell", and it now sports a minor corner fold on the low numbered Boston district note from mishandling.
I don't know when the 1995's entered circulation but the 1996 series were not released until mid 1998.
The 1996 notes were released the same month 3 years earlier than 9/11. Have you even happen to see the whole 9/11 world trade center crash deal on the back of big head designs? I'm feeling too lazy and tire right now to fully explain it all, but if you fold a big head $5, $10, or $20 a certain way, you see the twin towers exploding and fire and smoke coming from them.
Hey, tbudwiser. Sorry I plan to keep it. Dont come across these that often. Last small head 20 I got was from an ATM. It was a 1969c star.
Funny enough, I discovered the "OSAMA" thing plinking around with a $20 once myself, but I did however heard about the "Burning Building" thing from a friend, which did inspire me to see what else I could make it fold up to say. What do you guys all think of it? Coincidence or consequence?
I'm late getting in on this thread but I have several 1995s pulled from circ in the last 2 weeks. Small head 20s seem the most scarce to me due to the ATMs and probably get thrown into the mutilated pile.
