    Greetings Fellow CT Members,

    I recently joined a thread here on CT regarding a "short snorter note" and I have decided to do my own version. I have a Series 09 $2 FRN that I have been carrying in my wallet for the past 2 years along with my 1883-CC Morgan as good luck charms. I would like to send this $2 FRN to my fellow CT members to sign, and I would like it to make it across all 50 U.S. States and be returned. Then I plan on having the note PMG certified with a CoinTalk designation. To make a long story short, I'm in Indiana so therefore that state is taken, next in line post and then PM me your address, you receive the note, sign it and then pass it along to the next state, I will provide the mailing addresses. Anyone willing to participate please PM me your mailing address, I need at least one CT member from each state.

    Once you ship the note to the following member please include a package tracking number so we can see exactly where the note is and how many miles its made along its voyage.

    Once the note has been returned and PMG certified, I will list a contest and the winner gets the note!

    Here's a little history on "Short Snorters"

    Here's an image of the actual note.

    Here's a snorter that I have in my personal collection which contains some prominent signatures such as; Al Pacino, Howard Hughes and yes, Frank Sinatra plus many more celebrities.

    So PM me and let's get it started! I appreciate everyone's participation. I will be doing several more snorters in the very near future, all for CT member contests.

    Thanks in advance to all CT members!

    I merged the 2 threads together. When there are duplicates, members do not know if they posted or not, and since the prize is the same one , they may think 2 events are occurring.

    ALSO to ALL participating, each member is on their honor to the OP and others to follow the procedure. IF the bill disappears , damaged more, or disputes occur, they are within the members and the OP , and not Cointalk. Even though this is occurring on the site, do not expect CT to deal out discipline, unless it involves a posting against the rules. Thanks.\\Jim

    Understood Jim. Thank you. As stated above CT is NOT responsible in anyway for the note or any disputes that may occur, which I highly doubt that we will have any issues.

    [SUP]Short Snorter #2 Update List - Day 2

    I will update this list daily for all CT members to view. I have also added a little twist regarding the signatures, please take a look at the bottom numbers 51-56. I need some Idea's for numbers 57-60, anyone? Who's next? Just send me a PM with your name and mailing address to be added to the list if your state is still available.

    Remember, after this note has been completely signed by everyone on the list, 1-60 and returned to me, I'm going to submit it to PMG for certification with a special CoinTalk designation. When the note is returned by PMG I'm going to hold a contest here on CT and the winner gets the note!

    Again. I would like to thank everyone for their participation, and I would also like to thank CoinTalk personally for creating such a great Numismatic Community forum!
