    It's been a long time since I got one of these. This one is a bit more detailed than most. Received in change at X-Mart in Canaan, Ct. img514.jpg img515.jpg

    I used to see those fairly routinely. Haven't seen one in ages. Very cool.

    I've received 4 of these over the last few years. One circulated to
    N.E. Tenn. from Idaho with several stops in between. A friend of mine
    from work showed me a $5 bill a couple of years ago. Started it's
    journey in Texas.

    Neat idea.... but I bet the Fed loves pulling these from circulation!

    Did you go to the web site and register it?
    I've only received three in all the years they have been tracking them. One of mine went to Florida, but the others stayed local.

    Cool find. Although, the serial should have been edited from the picture. Now the bill will be blocked once the site's administrator finds out about this thread because it is common for bills posted online like this to receive a lot of bogus entries.

    Yeah. The Fed greatly updated their fitness-scanning equipment in 2014 in response to Series 2009 bills being stamped with "Tax Cheat" (or similar) above Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner's signature. Before then, round stamps over the FRB seal and stamps in the margins would make it back out with ease. But the scanning equipment is so sensitive these days it's rare for bills with most any stamps to make it back out.

    Found this bill in Antarctica at the General Store.

    I remember pulling a number of these in Colorado in the 90's.
