    Still a neat find. That's a Monticello-reverse and not a Bicentennial, which is saying something, I reckon.

    That's pretty cool. I've never seen a red seal in the wild. Heck, I've only ever gotten one silver certificate dollar in the whole time I've been doing this (~9ish years)

    Yeah, when I got hard up decades ago I spent all my Monticello bills. Guess I'll add that to the list of things I want to buy AFTER the postal crisis ends.

    I'd imagine the person that spent it on something necessary like smokes as also had a bit of a hard life.:eek:

    Hope you were wearing your mask in the convenience store.

    I'd be talking to myself if I got a note like that in change I'd be so stunned. Give it a good retirement, it worked hard on its job long enough.

    Who knows in my case; might have been while I was in college back in the Sixties.

    You probably weren't supposed to get that. I used to manage convenience stores. A lot of the stores keep a $2 bill under the $1 bills in the register to help catch the bad guy if they are ever robbed. The manager keeps the serial number written down.

    You didn't rob the store, did you?

    LOL I know the clerk, she told me if I didn't take it she would.

    Unheard of now days, so great find. Smooth it out and put it in a holder to keep.

    I get the feeling like I want to iron this thing before I put it in a holder, would that be like cleaning a coin ?

    Not really. I'd cover it with a sheet before I struck it, as it could burn. Hold off on the starch in the collar. :)

    There's no slot in cash registers for 2's, and it's a pain reconciling at the end of the shift. So when a store gets one, they are often glad to get rid of it. It's possible the cashier was not observant between the red seal and the current design. Considering the condition it's worth less than $3 anyway. The 1928 series would be worth more. Always nice to get something like that in circulation. In the 80's a got a nice red seal $5 US Note and a few $1 blue SC's. And even into the 90's I got a couple of $1 blue seal SCs.
