<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsalexan, post: 1564457, member: 24274&quot;]Well, while we&#039;re on the topic of big sheets -- and since you got me to pull out my storage tube -- here&#039;s another fun one. This is FSO 1988A -- the Ralston Purina Almond Delight Bank Note Sheet. I have NO idea what genius sold Ralston Purina on the idea of using banknote reprints as cereal box premiums, but...&nbsp; ABNC printed 780,000 of these intaglio sheets for them, which were mostly cut into individual banknotes, folded twice and dropped into boxes of Almond Delight (Collect All Six!). They held out 50,000 sheets and if you mailed in three UPC codes you could get a full 16 x 20&quot; uncut sheet. I may have been the only person who liked the cereal enough to save up for two full sheets. </p><p><br /></p><p>Despite my purchases, the scheme didn&#039;t sell many boxes and there were, as you might suspect, a lot of sheets left over. Eventually they made their way into dealer stock and you can find them now usually for less than $20. I have one of mine framed -- some really interesting odd denomination obsolete notes you almost never see in issued form.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
