Pre-2006: 5 (1995 D-L, 2001 F-F and B-E, 2003 G-C and L-B)
-The 1995 D-L was right on the end, and it went straight into my collection as it's a new block combo for me and has a somewhat interesting trinary SN

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.

Pre-2006: 6 (2 1995, 2 1999, 2001, 2003A)
-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.

<5: 10 (2013, 7 2009, 2 2006)

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.

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.

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.

Got one star note at a bank about 10 miles from where I live (to hopefully get an entirely different pool of bills from the ones I usually get) but no wilds or anything too old. On the bright side though, I did get my first 1995 bill hit.
