These are the only ones I have and the only modern notes I've ever purchased.. I just save Fancy or Low-Numbers and Star Notes that I find in circulation but I knew there would be no way I would ever come across two matching serial numbers in a million years and I thought it would be a cool addition to the collection so I bought 'em a long time ago
Theses are a set of BEP Lucky Money notes, known as set 8.8.8. and issued on December 3rd 2008. The sets were limited at 8,888 sets and had an original sale price of $48.88. Three denominations all with the same serial number.
All of these same number notes above are amazing finds. This must have taken the original owner of them a lot of time and effort to track 'em down, since they're from different blocks. To my knowledge: The 12 Federal Reserve banks and their code letters (blocks) are: 1. Boston A 2. New York B 3. Philadelphia C 4. Cleveland D 5. Richmond E 6. Atlanta F 7. Chicago G 8. St. Louis H 9. Minneapolis I 10. Kansas City J 11. Dallas K 12. San Francisco L
These are from the WWI 100th Anniversary set. I understand the Series 1913 "Battleship" note, but why the two modern $2's were included, no clue. And I don't know why the BEP put "COPY" on the battleship; it is a reprint from original dies, not a copy. And you can get it without the ugly "COPY" by buying an ANA 1988 souvenir card [B-116]!
Purchased at a local estate sale several years ago. Person had been an officer of the bank at the time. One of four Jackson, Tennessee banks that issued national currency. I have seen some single $20 notes in former bank director lock boxes but none of them were for sale.
