    Just got this 95 $20 at the local pharmacy. Still somewhat crispy. They're still out there.

    Are you keeping it? Do you happen to come by these often?

    Are these recent finds or have you had them for a while?

    I picked up both in the last few years - I got the Richmond district note on 02 Jul 2010.

    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.

    I think 1995 - 1996 time frame.

    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.

    Yes, I know. Hence the :D and the "not likely, I know" at the end of my post.

    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.

    Nice pick-ups Steve! I wonder what one might pay for such notes... Or where one may acquire them...
