So I went to my Pickup bank at lunch today and asked my usual: "Do you have anything interesting or cool for me today?" question to my favorite teller.
She said yeah I have something I have been holding for you. She comes back with a band of 1976 $2 FRN. She says, "I person emptied their saftey deposit box this week and exchanged these for two hundreds. The look to be brand new.....You want them Doc?"
Why yes mam, I do.

Doc, now that is a super cool find...now you can keep the Ike's and hand out the $2 bill to the kids that you yank teeth out of.

Not a bad idea. But first....I need to check out completed sales of these things on the Bay.

I used to buy and sell bricks of uncirculated $2 bills before eBay hiked their fees - I was never lucky enough to run across a batch of 1976'ers. Nice find, Doc!

Nice find,it pays to be friendly with your tellers.
I talked with a note collector a few weeks ago while in the LCS.
Someone was in there trying to sell some $2 bills.Shop owner didn't want them so he made a offer and bought them.
From what I was told there and 2 districts that are rare,semi rare in 1976. Not sure but I think St. Louis is one.
Not sure about Richmond but hope it is for you.

My bank ordered a brick for me to sort and look at and they still have most of them. It has been a long time ago and can't remember all they had but if anyone wants any tell me how many you want. No star notes..I pull those and any misprint errors.
