I have 5 different unc banknotes of 2 us dollar, which are covered with US postage stamps and all bearing the marking of New Orleans, following the date of the Treaty of Independance from 1976.


What is the filosofy of putting stamps on banknotes, are the bills with stamps still legal tender in the states or do I have to let them float in the sink and seperate stamps from notes?

When the $2 bills were first released you could goto the U.S. Post office and have it post marked, I guess as a way to show that it is an original 1976 two.

Thanks for sharing! For a Dutchie it is very strange to see postage stamps marked at a banknote. If anyone is interested in obtaining a note like that, please let me know..Greetings from Rotterdam, Holland.

I remember standing in line with my parents to get those. A local stamp/coin dealer (I only went in the store back then because my brother was into stamps. Silly me.) had some which were postmarked twice. One was day of release and the other was July 4th. Which I wondered about because the post office would have been closed then. Hmmm...

I remember the day the 1976 $2 bills came out, even though I was a young kid. My mother bought some at the bank that day and then went to the post office to have them stamped as a first day of issue release. I still have it, but it is worth little more as a curiousity of my hometown than anything else.

I have one with a rather unique postmark from the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial(The Gateway Arch)- the USPS set up a temporary post office in the museum located underneath The Arch. After all, Jefferson was the one that made The Arch a possibility through the Louisiana Purchase so it was fitting that the dueces were also postmarked there as well.
