Message:: [QUOTE="jlg1130, post: 950347, member: 26655"]Hi everybody, New guy here. I've already introduced myself in the introduction forum, so, to get down to business..... Recently, I've become a fan of the $2.00 note. I can't really put my finger on it, I just really like them. So, as a result, when I head to the bank on payday, to get some spending cash, I usually request a portion ($10-$20 worth or so) in twos. After which, I usually look through them, to see if any are worth hanging onto, in my humble opinion. This week, I was pleasantly surprised to find these two, in what the teller gave me: 1953 US Note [ATTACH]89865.vB[/ATTACH] 1976 FRN with first date of issue stamp: [ATTACH]89866.vB[/ATTACH] The paper residue on the '76 is from a postage stamp, that was affixed to the note, but is now long gone. Apparently, you could bring them to your local post office, on the first day they were re-issued, and get them stamped with "April 13, 1976" and then have a stamp affixed to them? My guess is to keep as a memento, or collectible, of sorts. As for the '53, it's really rough, and heavily circulated, but I was stoked to get it, regardless. You rarely ever see notes that age, in circulation, anymore. Especially two's. If that note could talk, I'd bet it has some stories. After 56 years, it'd have to. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
