2006 bills are becoming uncommon in my area, and I wish, but I've never actually found a SC in a strap, but I might actually find one now that you mention it.

Only needed 50 bucks this week plus 2 more for some rolled pennies I cashed in.

Not too bad for a half strap. No wilds or stars as usual, but there was still a 1995 and even a 1999 which I haven't always found even in 100 dollar straps.

-2009 G-* printed in May 2012 from a 640K run. I'm keeping it since I don't get low run stars very often.
The bank I got this strap from is a new branch that has one of those cash sorting machines that all money goes into so that probably explains the lower number of bills in bad shape. There were no wilds, but one of the bills had a blue stamp to the right of the portrait so that makes me believe it might be possible for a wild to be found among the bills out of this bank.

Today's bank strap was probably better than any other one I've gone through before!

<5: 12 (10 2009, 2 2006)
There are a LOT of bills that were pretty unique in this strap. The 1988A is an A-E WEB NOTE which I've never found in circulation until now, and the 1963 is the oldest bill I've ever seen in any bank strap! The only thing older you can get would be a silver certificate, which based on what I found here, I might actually find one at some point! Obviously, both of those bills are going into my collection since collectors look for them when searching bills, and I definitely haven't found TWO bills worth keeping in one strap until now! Not to mention, there were even 2 star notes, both 2013 K-* from the same 3.2 million print run, which I'll still take since I don't have too many hits on star notes.
Also, I just realized upon looking at the serial number closely that I found my first radar! I don't typically look at the numbers too closely until I actually enter the bills, so this was an awesome surprise! The number is 03366330.

No wilds, no stars, nothing 1995 or older, makes this strap average at best although the average condition of every bill was better than usual.

-2006 star note that is almost uncirculated, and while it is from a high print run, I'll still keep it due to its condition.
Some of the bills in this strap looked like they hadn't been through quality control, as there were several bills that were ripped, taped, severely worn out, or bills with writing on them in there. The writing doesn't really matter unless it's in the margin, that means that I have to put my WG stamp elsewhere but this was still pretty good overall.

Oddly enough, this isn't the first strap where I found 2 different 2003 bills in extremely different condition. This has happened twice before, making this a recurring trend of 2 2003 bills in opposite condition showing up in several straps I get.
Considering this was an FRB strap, I didn't have high expectations of finding a wild, which I didn't. However, there was a star note, a bill I needed for my block letter collection, a few with writing in the supposed "danger zone" and even a few that look like they should've been shredded but somehow made it through. I guess everyone was right about the fact that the fed has gotten more lenient about the bills they let pass through.

-I did get 2 new block letters, a 1995 E-S and a 1999 B-P out of those bills, while the other 1995 and 1999 that are getting EMSed respectively are D-D and C-B.

This is from the bank that has historically given me bills in AWFUL condition. I can see why that happens since at least 2 of the local businesses nearby which are across from the prep school are constantly going there, so I might be getting their deposits. Still no wilds, which makes me wonder when I'll see one again.

<5: 20 (I'm not even gonna bother with the stats on this, as I was disappointed by this strap's results so I'm taking them to another bank to get some 2 dollar bills without entering them)
Yet AGAIN, there were no wilds. Makes me wonder where they all are, as there were MULTIPLE bills with pen markings and ones that should've met the shredder ages ago, but for some reason, worn out bills are more fit for circulation than a stamped one... I'm just hoping I can eventually find another wild, as they can't be THAT few and far between...

I'm pretty sure I set a new record today for most 2009s in a bank strap. The 1999 bill was a B-P that was almost uncirculated, so I replaced my existing one in my collection. I think this is the first time I've obtained a high block letter in better shape than another one I have. Based on the breakdown of the 2013 bills, I'd say this strap had been sitting around for maybe 6 months since there were less 2013s than usual this time around. There was also a really beat up star note in the mix, and since it's from a high print run, I wouldn't have even considered saving it since high print runs are already worth face value even uncirculated.

This is the first strap I've had in awhile where there was a 1999 and a 1995 at once. Some of the bills in there were pretty nasty looking, which includes coffee stains, blood stains, and one with a heavy tape job. I'm still entering them though, because you never know which bills will get hit!

Not too much to say, but it was nice to see every series back to 1995 present. There were lots of old, ratty bills present but I guess the older series makes up for it.

For the first time, there were actually a few consecutive 2013s in the strap, which I haven't seen until now. I'm hoping I can get a few CU straps for when I go on vacation next month, but based on past results, I'm not even sure if that will happen.

On the bright side though, I did get my first 1995 bill hit. http://www.wheresgeorge.com/b:9czqwAYMlZ |
