[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 5143640, member: 24633"][USER=115232]@SensibleSal66[/USER] The story goes that a little old lady went to the San Francisco FRB the first day that the Bicentennial $2 notes were released, and she bought two for her grandson. She put them in an envelope and stored them away until her grandson was old enough to appreciate them. Years and years passed, and when she finally gave him the envelope, they were as crisp and fresh as the day they were printed. The young man was surprised to note that the serial numbers were [I][B]00000001[/B][/I] and [I][B]00000002[/B][/I]. After doing a little checking, he realized that they may be worth a little money, so he decided to put them up for sale with one of the major auction houses. When the auctions closed, "1" sold for about $27,000 and "2" sold for about $9,000. Sure beats a stamp, don't it![/QUOTE]
