<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BigsWick, post: 79337, member: 3534&quot;]In 1976 my older cousin and I each got new $2 bills for our birthdays. The bills were given to us by a family friend who worked at a bank. They had been &quot;certified&quot; with a special postage-type stamp and a bank counter stamp, dated April 13, 1976, the day (I believe) the new bill was released for circulation. We kept them in pristine condition, but a few years later my cousin got hard up for gas money. He offered to sell me his $2 bill for $5. I only had $3, but he said that wasn&#039;t enough. He threatened to remove the stamp from his and spend it if I didn&#039;t give him $5. I just laughed at him. Sure enough, he removed the stamp and spent his $2 bill. I don&#039;t know that it was worth much more than face value, but it was neat to have, and I always thought it was a stupid thing for him to do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
