A novelty note. A pic of a bunny glued over the portrait of Jefferson. Worth $2, or a dollar or so more as a novelty.

 

I've seen various varieties of these things, where a well engraved sticker will be made (looks as if it was made to be on the bill) and stuck over the protrait of Jefferson. There are numerous varieties, such as Santa Claus, Elvis Presley, more moder presidents such as George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, etc. They're basically novelties and are basically only worth face value from a collector's standpoint, though some are willing to pay a small premium for novelty's sake.

 

Thanks that's what I told him.

 

They are actually very real and came with a certificate of authenticity with them. Walmart was the ones giving them out a long time ago to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. The reason I know this is because I have one and mine has the certificate with it still.

 

I have one as well,complete with certificate of authenticity!

 

Yeah, it's a real note with a sticker over Mr. Jefferson's portrait. You can tell by feel or by holding the note up to a strong light.

 

No I tried that with mine and the light went through as much as any other part of the bill. Definitely wasn't a sticker.

 

It definitely was real - no sticker. It isn't a bump in the paper where a sticker would be and light passes through the same amount everywhere so it couldn't be a sticker.

 

They didn't print bills with bunnies on them.
Photo please.

 

If you do a search on eBay for "novelty note" you will find all kinds of these. Some have stickers, some were printed over the original note. Yes, they are "authentic" -- meaning the original currency is real. No, they did not come from the Bureau of Engraving & Printing looking like this. The certificates that come with them are a gimmick.

 

Post a pic of the certificate too, it will be fun to see

 

Oh dear! Now all they lack is an "appropriate" serial number...

 

Hello I have also 1995 Bunny Bucks now I feel and looked real close it is a sticker of a bunny covering Jefferson so now I know

 

Yeah it's true a 2 dollar Jefferson bill that's has a sticker of a bunny on it but bunny it doesn't say cottontail it says bunny money
