<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 590005, member: 4626"]There were a lot of people (and probably, still are) that were under the incorrect impression that this constituted an error since it is dated 2006 despite being released in 2008. It is not an error though... 2006 refers to the year the issue was authorized, not necessarily the year they were printed and issued (as is true for all series dates on modern US banknotes). It is somewhat odd that they didn't use a new year for the new design, as they usually do... but since this series was intentionally produced with this date, it doesn't constitute an error.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm guessing that's probably why the cashier thought it was worth saving. Either that, or just the novelty of the new design, it's possible she just never saw one of the new ones before.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got one of these and saved it right when it came out... but later just spent it, since there would be billions of them produced, decided what the $5 could buy was worth more than having it my collection...
