Message:: [QUOTE="Troodon, post: 342367, member: 4626"]Been my experience that any $2 bill since 1976 at least are fairly easy to find in most coin stores (though takes some searching to find at a bank lol...) for usually not much more than face value, even when CU or almost so.  1953 to 1963, still fairly cheap... the 1928 series tend to get a little pricey if you can even find a place that has them.  The reason for that is pretty obvious of course... since 1976 they are pretty much novelties and while popular in coin stores they weren't popular in circulation, thus it's pretty easy to find them in high condition, cheap.  Before that they were actually used, and thus didn't occur to people to save them for up to 80 years, they just spent the things... further back you go the rarer they get, even in lower conditions, and thus the pricier they get. I expect this will happen with the recent series of practical denominations too, eventually... I don't think many are bothering to save the old $5's, $10's, $20's, $50's, and $100's... and they're going through many cycles of redesign, so there will be a lot of types... so if you think you'll want a type collection of such things in the future, set them aside now while you can still get them at face value![/QUOTE]
