    Set it free, plenty of them are likely available at your local bank in better condition.

    IMO I would splend it or even Put Wheres George on it and send it on its way.

    Eventhough it's a misaligned print?

    On a similar note. The other day I bought a bag of pretzels that was $1.09 at a store. I handed the clerk a $1 and a Kennedy half. She looked at the half dollar, remarked that she had never seen anything like it, and asked what it was. After I explained it to her, she stared at the coin, then at her change drawer, and handed the coin back to me saying I could have the pretzels for a dollar.

    Maybe you'll get a good deal!

    It's not enough of a mis-alignment to command a premium. To carry a premium, it would have to be so mis-aligned that there would be the imprint of some of another note. Off the edge, so to speak.

    Does the misalignment of the print not hold any premium? Notice the seal.

    Well within tolerances.

    Thanks. We posted at the same time. I have at least a thousand $2 bills. Mostly blue and red seals. Girl at the bank asked if I wanted it. I said sure, it'll spend. Then I noticed the misaligned print. If it were in better shape it would keep it just because.

    Spend it on breakfast at the local Mickey D's. A tour bus driver in Baltimore tried to buy his breakfast with some, was told it was counterfeit because the US doesn't make $2 notes, was arrested by Baltimore police and ended up getting a huge undisclosed settlement when the Secret Service agents asked the police what was wrong with them.

    For fun I sometimes get a bundle at the bank to spend. Funny how the people in small towns know what they are and are tickled to get them, but most in the big cities have no clue and have to call a manager.

    The banks I go to usually have a pretty strong supply of them on hand, I only get the red and blue seals though. I would keep it as a curiosity, only $2, cool misaligned even though it is only worth face.

    Ironic that NH license plates are made by prisoners.

    If it was undisclosed, how did we find out that it was huge?
