<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 758034, member: 11668&quot;]Errors aren&#039;t really a subject I know much about, I&#039;m afraid....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But I am a spender of $2 bills, and I can tell you that I&#039;ve run across plenty of 1995 $2&#039;s that look more or less like this.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if it was a bad batch of ink or what, but for some reason the $2&#039;s of that series do have a tendency to exhibit this wear pattern, with the intaglio ink looking very worn even though the paper&#039;s not too limp and the third print&#039;s still fairly bright.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yours is a fairly extreme example, but still, I doubt that it&#039;s a printing error--it was probably perfectly normal-looking when it left the BEP.&nbsp; If I found it in circulation, I&#039;d spend it without a second thought....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And 1976 $2&#039;s are still quite common.&nbsp; When I pick up a strap of used $2&#039;s at the bank, they probably average about 25% 1976&#039;s.&nbsp; I generally try to save any especially interesting ones (consecutive runs, stars, notes cut from uncut sheets) but all the rest get spent.&nbsp; It&#039;s actually tougher to find nice 1995 $2&#039;s than nice 1976 $2&#039;s, due to the wear issue with the 1995&#039;s mentioned above![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
