Well, once again I have waited a long time - this time even longer - to post. I have been averaging over $600 per week in $2 bills handed out since my last post on August 27. The past 14 weeks of bills total $8758. Farming is a very time consuming job, especially when it is vegetables that are grown and sold every week of the year. Last week with Thanksgiving, I took "half" a day off to prepare dinner with my wife and enjoy family time. Yesterday's three straps of $2 bills from the bank were new for the first time in quite a long time, but oddly the BEP straps were marked with another Bank's stamp and a person's initials. Most of the bills that I have circulated are used giving change at my farmers markets, but I still use quite a few for paying bills. We keep getting them back as payments too, so that does exactly what I want - circulates them! We got 10 back at the markets this past week at least.
