<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3622891, member: 84179&quot;]April 13 1976 was the first day of issue for the redesigned $2 notes.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure if it was an official promotion, but you could get them from a bank and then go to the PO, buy a stamp, and have it cancelled.&nbsp; This was during the height of the bicentennial celebration.&nbsp; There are lots of these out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are collectable, but don&#039;t carry much of a premium.&nbsp; IMO, I think they make a fun collecting topic, either by Fed district, or postmark (city state).&nbsp; Don&#039;t plan&nbsp; on getting rich from them, however.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was a kid then and begged my grandparents to get one for me.&nbsp; They went to the bank but decided that the line was too long.&nbsp; They got me some notes later for my birthday, but they didn&#039;t have the first day stamp.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
