Quote: No. the BEP likes their employees to be ignorant of how certain notes are more collectable/desirable/valuable than others. Anyone who's a collector is unlikely to be hired by them. There is no legal mechanism by which an employee at the BEP can simply swap out a note in their pocket for a freshly printed note. And anyone found actually stealing a note from the unissued note stockpile would have all of the books thrown at them.
Thats very nice to know, thank you for that information. Thats exactly what I thought was going on and I'm so glad I was wrong. |

Ive never came across or even came close to finding a solid serial number. Do employees at the mint watch for these bills and snag them or does the mint keep them and auction them off? This next question is probably stupid to ask but....Do they actually get put into circulation? |

I had a 2 headed quarter that came with my magic kit when I was a kid and I put it in a vending machine HaHa I was 9 yrs old. There was a guy who ran the u.s. mint years ago that died. When his safety deposit box was given to his kids all it had in it was 5 two headed quarters. Its supposedly impossible to happen during the minting process but those 5 quarters were listed as genuine |

I heard a story about the mint that produced these coins. The had a cigarette vending machine where packs cost 48 cents but since the machine couldnt give change they placed 2 pennies in the pack of cigarettes. On the day the DDO was struck the 2 pennies placed in each pack were all 1955 DDO |
