Always a neat find, but very common and worth no more or less than two dollars.

 

Sorry, not to be rude, but what's your question about it ?

 

She's probably showing it to commemorate the holiday today, which is depicted on the reverse. If I had to guess.

 

Here is an interesting, but TRUE!, story for you @Felicia04 !

The first day that the $2 Bicentennial Notes were to be released, a grandmother in San Francisco went to the FRB and bought two of the notes, both in perfectly crisp, uncirculated condition. She placed them in an envelope to be given to her grandson as part of his inheritance.

Some 30-35 years had passed before the grandson had received his "inheritance". When he opened the envelope, the notes, still in perfect condition, had the serial numbers 00000001 and 00000002 from the San Francisco FRB. The grandson decided to put them up for auction, and #1 sold for more than $27K and #2 sold for more than $9K.

Granny sure knew what she was doing, didn't she!

 

Man, that totally went right over my head . Sorry .

 

A nice two dollar bill. Nothing special about that or the serial number so just a spender.

 

Focus, people. She's not interested in its numismatic value. She's interested in the story.

 

Interesting cross collectible 2 dollar 1976 bill with attached $ 2 lantern definitive stamp attached by first day of issue (at the New York Stamp dealers convention) hand signed by James Schlesenger stamp artist

 

Who are you talking to? I gave her a story! Where is your focus?

 

No question jus posting for the 4th

 

Naturally, the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Nice and thank you.

 

Have some strawberries blueberries and whip cream for dessert...yum

 

Nice back story Chris. I find it interesting how so many people automatically have to assume something that was never asked for, ie, value. And does it really matter if a question is asked. Or being critical of a piece before a question is even asked. Maybe someone is just showing something off, in which case, just hit the like button or don't like it and move along.

 

These photos have been getting quite a workout today!

 

Zackly!

 

Neat to have a 2 Dollar bill - these were released in 1976 to coincide with the bicentennial coins. Seems that alot of people wanted to save every bicentennial coin and 2 dollar bill they could get their hands on back in 75-76 (I did keep some myself) Later, most found out later - they were not worth more than face. I heard that some people had jar full of 76 quarters. That is why most 76 quarters are not as worn as other 70's quarters as being saved.

 

It was also the first series small-size $2 FRNs printed, and the last small-size denomination to join the other Federal Reserve notes being printed.

 

I'll play . . . .
