    1963 B is the Barr note. Joseph Barr was only in office for (a month?)
    so those notes are limited. (They still printed millions of them.)

    My grandmother gave me a Series 1928 $2 bill with a red seal on the right side when I was about 16. I'm 71 now. I'm a neatnik, so when I got it, I got my mother's iron out with very low heat and pressed it. It's been kept in a currency cover for about 25 years. I have several other Red Seal $2 Bills as well. One has a small torn corner off of it. Is the first $2 bill something special. I guess price might tell me, but I could never sell it. I also save a lot of currency that has sequential serial numbers. Are there any Psychiatrist out there to let me know how crazy I am? Thanks guys.

    I have a few. They were collectible even in the 70's, but when my house burned down, so did all my paper notes I was saving.

    Found these today, a 640k $10 and a (possible) Flipper?? Not sure if a Flipper needs to read the same upside down but either way just keeping them long enough to post :)

    Kinda sad when the best part of your day is getting a crappy old 1969-C $20 bill in your change... still get a kick out of finding them though :)

    Not really much of anything other than an odd number Print Run size and a nearly almost, almost interesting serial number.. if the last number was a "9" I may have considered hanging onto it just because but Andrew will most likely be buying me lunch tomorrow...

    Skippy, I really am enjoying looking through all the great notes you find.

    Am wondering where you get all these great finds in your daily transactions - in a big city area or rural area?

    In the 'burbs but part of my daily routine is sometimes just getting a hundred singles from the bank once in a while but I also get to look through cash register drawers which is where I find a lot of them :)

    I got this from a Publix cashier this morning. The portrait was hit with a counterfeit detection pen earlier in its life.

    I've heard that those iodine pen marks go away after a while.
    I received a 1990 $20 note from my bank with one of those unfortunate yellow streaks across the face, and after a couple of weeks, it was almost entirely gone.
    Last week, I spent a pretty rumpled 1969C $100, and it was marked up as well. When will cashiers learn that those things don't work- they just damage the potential collector value of a note!
    Anyways, nice find.

    If they do know they may not care or they may do it because they are compelled to do so. I have a friend who used to work at the mini mart of a casino. Standard practice was to swipe all high-denomination notes with the pen. I told him how fallible and useless those pens are and how notes can be bleached or sprayed with chemicals to fool the test but his response was he didn't care.

    According to him as long as he used the pen as management told him to do and it passed the test he'd be in the clear if a bill was accepted that turned out to be counterfeit.
