This is the fourth one I've found in the past couple months. None of them seemed to have been cut up recently, but this is getting frustrating to see that people are cutting up uncut sheets of notes.
Howdy Frank... The Plate numbers for the Serries 1976 printed notes were 1-80, 93,94 and 98. Back plate #s 1-78, 84 and 100 The Plate check# on this note is 97 and does not fall into the category of regular cut notes. According to Schwartz/Linquist 8th edition, this being my only reference. The guy's have posted a website here in may threads on search sites for notes and I cant recall which or where it is. There is no reverse image to verify the back numbers posted. Perhaps Gatzdon will come by later and link it for you. That is the clue that I see here on this note..perhaps there is something else I am missing? Thats all I have to go on at the moment. RickieB
Simplest method is to look at the serial number. First clue is that the number is higher than 96000000 Second clue is that the serial number falls outside the reported ranges listed here http://usci.nfshost.com/serials/f1976_b.html edited to correct typo in serial number range.
Thanks to both of you for the replies. I am not a regular collector of currency and appreciate your wisdom.
Would be way cooler if they spent them uncut!!!! Cashier: Thank you for eating at McDonald's. Your total is $6.84. Dimwit/Thief/....: You guys take $8 bills, right??
Then the McD's cashier would call the cops, because there's no such thing as a $2 bill, right? :desk:
When sheets first were made available from the BEP they were sometimes sold at places like Nieman-Marcus to be used as wrapping paper by people with too much money on their hands. It would not surprise me if some of these sheets were then cut up by the recipient of the gift.
it is weird they would cut up an uncut sheet - as most uncut sheets sell for higher then the individual total of all the notes. Might be someone thinking they are 'pulling one over on the us mint' lol here they think they are selling money that isnt worth $2, and they are actually losing money - now THATS is Karma!
http://usci.nfshost.com/general/uncut.html I should have said 96000000 as that is the current cutoff, my apologies.
Heck Gatzdon I respect your knowledge of the "finer" points. Wanted to make sure I wasn't losing my mind
I think I'm still really good with logic and reasoning, but when it comes to rote memory, my mind is gone. When I state a number, or similar type of fact, always question me on it and correct me when I'm wrong. Not only am I not insulted by it, but I actually appreciate it because I hate to be the source of incorrect info. thanks
Well said. I agree, too, I hate giving incorrect data. FWIW, for $50's and $100's normal prints do end in 99200000
