A teller at my usual coin roll hunting bank told me that they had a strap of $2s in the vault so I thought why not give it a try. I must say that I was pleased with the results.

A nice trio of consecutives (Near miss on 6 zeroes!)

The lone star note of the bunch

I'm seeing red!

This one just hurts. No explanation needed

I'll definitely be doing more of this.

This is definitely a reason for me to go to the same branch at the same time every time and see if I can get a good relationship with a good teller. Second branch I went to barely baubled at asking if I could order a box of pennies in the future and he seemed very professional and understanding. Might try to figure out his schedule.

Very cool finds. Sorry bout the 3 .

It would have indeed been a nice find for the 6 zeros since that sheet was destroyed at the BEP. Once in a great while that sheet pops up, but not very often.

Nickelman, if the sheet was destroyed then how did any of the bills get out into circulation? Are these collectable at all?

It's really too bad about the folds on the star note too, as I just found out it's from a run of only 320,000.

Very nice finds! Put the $2 star in a big book to help press out the crinkles. It might give it a better look. Just put the note between 2 pieces of clean/white paper and put that in the book.
