Hello guys, This is my first post of and I'm looking for input on 2 x $1 Bill's that I received as change years ago. I never looked into whether it could be worth anything, but am curious. I know its $2 minimum, but have no clue if can fetch $100+ I will attach 2 photos below and would love to hear input from the community and learn about bills such as mine. I appreciate it!
This isn't my area of expertise, but you can purchase bills in sheets. What you have looks like someone used some book binding glue on the edges to make it like a checkbook.
Are you sure they are uncut? Like @Clawcoins stated they look like they were glued together to make a tear away dollar pad?
I have numerous pads of political bills made for a joke. A company makes them and they look just like this. You have what I would call PPD or Post Printing Damage.
I have a check book style set of 50 consecutive 1988a $1 Star notes which are attached. Mine are attached at the far left end, not the top like yours... I thought that they were don as a novelty because they have a "Happy Birthday" message on the hardbound cover. edited
Please post a quality picture or two of the whole thing. Also, please enable private messages/"conversations".
This is a novelty item created with real currency. Steve Wozniak has these made and spends them, http://hackaday.com/2012/08/03/woz-prints-and-spend-his-own-2-bills/. He was questioned by the Secret Service for doing this. Edited: Language violation! Please read the rules to avoid infractions.
Those are glued packs. I make them now and again just for kicks. Most people no longer even smile when you peel off a few so I stopped and moved on to other gags.
From the mint in uncut sheets the serial #'s begin with 99 and the last 2 #'s are different by 10 #'s ... these end in the #'s 5720 & 5721 which are consecutive #'s, 2 bills from an uncut sheet would end in 5720 and 5730 or 5710 & 5720. Have to agree with the other members rubber glued together from a gag pad. Neat tho.
I agree with @David Setree Rare Coins , and disagree with the idea that uncut sheets come from the mint. ALL US paper currency is produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP). The US Mint produces our coins. Not all modern sheets start with 99 any more either. I just bought a series 2013 $2 sheet and all the serial numbers start with 98, and the serial number skip on sheets is not 10. You can read more facts about sheets here; http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/uncut.html
@Stevein You're absolutely right the BEP does cash, guess I was thinking too fast but not! Tx for the link guess a lot of things have changed at the BEP I went by what I own from them...
Back in the 1993 series, some $1 FRN sheets started with 992xxxxx and then in series 2001 there were sheets like this; I9841xxxxA...
Well, after my last post, I went into my file and pulled the item in discussion. Scan/photo of "Happy 50th Birthday Stu Grabiner" cover is available upon PM email request. However, I was mistaken about them being star-notes. They are all 1988a (in sequence) Sn E62319551G thru E62319599G. AND, the reason that I kept them was that many are Error-notes with dark green ink smears on the left side-reverse! I would attempt to scan them, but to do so would require that I open the check-book and lay them flat onto the scanner, which would cause damage, so I will not do it... Sorry
