<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3079238, member: 84179"]I remember when these came out when I was a kid and new collector. It was a big deal at the time and tied in with all the Bicentennial stuff. I think April 13 was the first day the $2 notes were issued and I recall my local Post Office offered the special 1st day Cancellations. I asked (begged) my grandparents to go to the bank and post office to get one for me. They got the notes at the bank, but said the line at the PO was too long. I still have the notes, but wish they would have been stamped. (BTW: My grandparents got some for my brother too, but he spent them on baseball cards)</p><p><br /></p><p>I'll have to start watching for cheap examples at shows. IMO, This would make a nice collectable set (Diff cities, states, FRB, etc), even if it may not be valuable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
