Being a coin collector who also enjoys the odd note, when in Washington DC I made a beeline for the Bureau Of Engraving and Printing. It just so happened that at the very time I was there, the Treasurer Rosa was too, and we could exchange a $1 note for an uncirculated one, which she signed. I was just wondering how often she does this, and how collectable this signed note would be? For me it's a pretty cool souvenir and as I am planning another holiday, I was wondering what the chances are of getting another one? :-) Gemma. Report this Post to the Staff

I also got former Secretary Geithner to sign one for me as well, even though he had left the job. Most are pretty good about doing it. I soon will be sending one off to Secretary Lew. Collectablility depends on how many she has signed and her popularity. Some officials have signed a lot, others not as many. The other one I have is former Secretary G. William Miller from the Carter Administration. He is the only person to have served as both Fed Reserve Chair and Treasury Secretary. Note: I can see from the signature on yours and mine they are not auto penned. There are distinct differences in the signatures.

Those polymer ones are also not so easy to write on nicely. Not auto penned, no. She signed it in front of me at the table, while we were chatting. Report this Post to the Staff

I bet he will sign it and send it back. Just make sure the note has Mr. Stevens facsimile signature on it ;) Edited by DoubleEagle20 01/06/2015 10:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I thought it neat that they were using 888 notes for the signing. Best $1 souvenir they had at the show! Report this Post to the Staff

That was really cool! Just look for the DE on modern coins and that is his work. Edited by DoubleEagle20 01/18/2015 5:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
