$2.00 Bills - $1000 Stack Search - Nothing

Hello everyone,
My oldest stepson recently asked his bank for $1000.00 in $2.00 bills.



He wanted to see if he could find any fancy or cool serial numbers. He searched but didn't find anything.

I also searched and there were some almost fancy serial numbers. Close but no cigar.


I did find this stamp on one of the backs


He's going to put the money in a fire proof box. It's another way to force him to save. Weird but it's his plan

It’s an odd plan for sure but it’s better than no plan at all.

 

My oldest son buys $2 bills in uncut sheets. He uses them for tips and gifts. He just likes $2 bills.

 

Oh, WoW! That's awesome. How many in a sheet? Sounds like a nice tip if 32? Or does he cut rows to give out as tips?

 

I believe he cuts them.

 

The wait staff must look at him oddly when they get a strip of $2 bills. Sounds fun!!

 

Here in Maine my bottle redemption pays out in $2.00 bills been saving them for years because if I spend one they think you've been at a strip joint( current fare) I guess.

 

Ever try spending these? The cashiers hate it because there's no slot for them in the cash drawer.

 

My order shipped from the BPE.
$2: Four-Note Sheet
FORT WORTH (TX)
Uncut Currency

 

I have a quad repeater that I will trade him for that worthless stack of $1000.00

 

Yes there is.. underneath the drawer

I worked as a cashier for 3 years in a pharmacy

 

He said thanks but no

He did find Mixed Ladder serial number with some new $2.00 bills he acquired.

Thread coming soon

 

You’re a man of many talents.

 

I've searched bricks (10 bundles/straps or 1000 notes) & came up empty many times. Its one of the reasons I collect special serials (no better way to comprehend how tough a radar, repeater, low #, etc) truly is.

 

If you think it’s tough to find them in modern notes try to find them in older obsolete or CSA Notes. Here’s a few of my CSA Notes.

 

Awesome examples. Thanks for sharing & Congrats!

But to a certain extent & only b/c nobody thought about special numbers back then.

Don't forget that if you talking about a 5 digit serial number the odds of hitting a special number (like a solid radar - the example you've posted) is much higher than for a 6, 7 or 8 digit solid serial. And the 2 digit radar on the 4 digit serial is amazing (for the century old issue) but it is even easier to hit that combo still.

GREAT notes (don't get me wrong) but you must take into account the # of digits on a serial number & that's one of the reasons the current 8 digit US FRN's can be so tough to find! Radars, repeaters, low # & ladders are so tough (& probably one of the reasons we keep seeing "trinaries & binaries" or "broken ladders" & wanna-be special - or fancy - serial numbers) on a 7 or 8 digit serial number.

Amazing Confederate $50.00 with the cursive 12345 ladder # (+ EPQ grade)!

 

I found a picture of me in the early 1990's

Fun seeing all that 35mm film on the shelf. And some Polaroid, too, if I'm not mistaken

 

Just fits here...

 

The good ol' days!
