I read somewhere that they're going to go have a ceremoney to start printing the new ones. They started with the twenties three months ago...very strange.
I received an e-mail from the BEP that uncut 2009 $1 FRN's will be available - it did not give a date though.
Just got a report today of 2009 $1's in the L..A block, Fort Worth printings, turning up in circulation in Florida. Looks like the $20's aren't the only denomination to be reaching circulation very quickly these days--those also got out before the monthly production report was even posted. So keep your eyes peeled for the new series--they're out there!
i have yet to see any 2009 notes at my bank yet. we get new currency all the time but they are still 2006 notes. hopefully we will get some soon
Just got an e-mail from the BEP that the 2009 $20 uncut sheets will be out 3/1/10 - marked up of course.
When series 2006 first came out, I too went to several banks and even went through several straps looking for them but alas I could not find even one 2006. It was over 6 months later that I found my first 2006, an already well circulated $1 bill from the E-A block that I was given as change from a gas station. With 2009, I will either wait to be randomly given one in change or from a bank, or I will buy a few examples from some lucky collector who has been fortunate enough to already find some.
