<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dave_in_delaware, post: 2575040, member: 82414&quot;]I&#039;ve been going to some local banks recently, politely relieving the tellers of their $2 bills (which they are more than happy to get rid of). I have a &quot;pool&quot; of banks that I regularly visit a few times per month (2 different banks, 4 branches each). </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve found out from the tellers that they only receive $2 bills from either 1) customers who get them as payments at their businesses and then deposit the cash, or 2) other customers who cash them out for something &quot;normal.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>So the banks don&#039;t get $2 bills from the regular armored car deliveries.</p><p><br /></p><p>Which made me believe all this time that I&#039;d never receive a $2 bill older than 1976 from a bank. I figured anything older had already been removed from circulation (for being too old) and that no one would get rid of anything older than 1976.</p><p><br /></p><p>Until yesterday. While the teller was counting out the 17 $2 bills for me, I thought I saw a quick red blur in the middle of the pile. But figuring something like a red seal would never be in a bank, or the bank may have removed it from circulation, or something, I just chalked it up to my eyes were seeing things.</p><p><br /></p><p>But then last night when I was entering my &quot;find&quot; into my catalog, there it was, nice and crisp and IN MY HAND!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]557731[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]557732[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s my first red seal of any kind. I&#039;ve been eyeing up a 1963 at my local coin shop, but now I have a 1953, saved from bank circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking/reading everyone. For this newbie to the hobby, it was a happy surprise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
