What is the best way to get currency signed by Treasurer? Post your signed currency!

Hey folks,

I was interested in possibly getting a district set of 2009 $1's. What I was more interested in to get them all signed by the treasurer and secretary of the treasurer, too. But how? How do people normally acquire signatures? I do know that I've seen more Marry Ellen Withrow signed bills than any other signatures. Any ideas would be great. I really don't know how it all works. Would I be able to do something so simple as to mail it in to her office with a letter asking her to sign the bill and return it to me or would it have to be so complicated as for me to like chase her down during one of her public apperarances haha. I'm mainly just trying to figure out exactly how people have done it in the past.

Probably the easiest way is to attend one of the larger national shows like the ANA World's Fair or National Money show. They usually make an appearance at those and then spend a couple hours giving out signatures.

I would suggest not sending in money to a government office without emailing, or calling and asking first, just because they might not like an envelope of money showing up.

 

Hmmmm I wonder where I might find out where to call or email them?

 

Google them. There is probably a web site that has contact information.

I should add that I have a couple of notes with courtesy autographs:

My favorite courtesy autograph is from an engraver;

 

I'm going to give them a call Monday and see if I can't get them to allow me to send them some $1's and have them signed by the currency Treasurer. This should be interesting. I will let you guys know what they say.

 

Nice! Thats even cooler than the treasury signatures!

 

Cool. Are all of these signatures from shows you've been to? Or are some of them at least from mainling them into the treasury? I'm interested to know if anybody else has done what I am going to try to attempt this Monday.

 

All were purchased.

 

I have many courtesy autographed notes, and only one signed in person. The remaining notes were purchased directly from dealer websites or won at auction. I'm working on getting several signed 4-subject sheets (autographed by the engravers) from an inside source at the Bureau of Engraving & Printing.

 

As I said before; I am just goint to call the treasury tomorrow and see if they will just sign it for me over the mail. This would be good for me because I never attend any shows or anything. They never do have a show near where I live, and everytime they do I find out to late haha. But the only thing that makes it seem like they wouldn't allow me to send cash over the mail and have them sign it is because wouldn't everyone would start doing that. Then they would have an overload of mail of people bills to get signed haha. But I don't know, maybe no one else has ever thought of sending some cash over the mail to the treasury department to have it signed so maybe they'll just let it slide, I sure hope so. Autographed currency is one thing my collection does lack, and I appreciate variety.

 

I've like these for along time but I too have none.
Looking forward to hearing about what transpires tbudwiser.

 

I agree, any updates?

 

I got extremely busy yesterday and forgot. I will do it today and post the results by the end of the day.

 

Urrrrgggggghhhh I called too late. I did forget about the whole east coast west coast time change thing. I will for sure call tomorrow morning. They closed like 5 minutes after I attempted to call them.
