<p>[QUOTE="harrync, post: 8084827, member: 58588"]This is from about 35, 40 years ago, when the BEP first started selling uncut sheets over the counter and by mail [before that, you had to have some sort of insider connection to get an uncut sheet.] A friend was on the way home from a coin show where he had bought a few sheets. He decided it would be cute to cut one of the sheets into strips, and cut off a note or so when making a purchase. First purchase was drinks on the flight home [airlines took cash for food and drinks then.] He makes big deal out of cutting off a few notes. Stewardess [still not called flight attendants yet] looks at him funny, but takes the notes. They had sheriff deputies waiting for him when he arrived. He said call the secret service, and they finally let him go when they verified that, yes, it was legal to have uncut sheets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
