[QUOTE="hiho, post: 917123, member: 21869"]In the late 1980's I used to cash my paycheck and buy a pack of $1 notes at the bank every Friday after I got paid. I would then search for stars, errors, radars, etc. over the weekend when I wasn't taking care of our new baby. Kind of like buying lottery tickets but if you lost the ticket was still worth a dollar. Usually I found nothing special but as much as I hate the smell of new paper money I love the look and feel of it. One day I received an entire pack of 1988A New York FRB web press notes. They were so ugly (they looked like bad photocopies) that I used them to buy my lunch like I did with all the other "reject" dollar bills. Had I put that pack into a safety deposit box I would have turned $100 into at least $4000. Live and learn. :crying:[/QUOTE]
