I was wondering where you get a strap of 1 dollar 2,5,10,20 ect. of in sequence bills. I have did a search for several weeks but all I can find is ebay. I would like to know where you can get them for face value? If at the bank which banks? Thanks |

any bank. You just have to be lucky that they get new bills and you are there when they hand them out.

Before christmas is the best time to get what you want. Banks are able to put in their "Holiday Cash" orders before Christmas and receive brand new bills at no additional cost.
Otherwise the bank can request brand new bills, but they may be charged an additional fee for such a request as the fed policy is recirculate used before new.

I'm always collecting block sets of the current series so if you get CU notes let's trade.
I'm also trying my best to put together a couple of 2003A $2 district sets. I haven't been able to locate any CU straps of the H district.
thanks

Districts 1-12, A-L are designated by the letter on a note. A = Boston, B = New York and so on. A district set is 12 notes one from each Federal Reserve Bank.

So the letter in the Serial number? Just say it says IF 12345678C does that mean its Minneapolis? Or if for instance it says F6 underneath the serial number is that how you tell b/c that is Atlanta. The newer bills confuse me! I like How it just told you on plain in the black seal on the small faced bills on the left you know. Then that letter in the black seal would be in the serial number at the front so maybe I just answered my own ?

Ok
If you look at a $1 bill you will notice to the left of the portrait the Federal Reserve Seal, within the seal you there will be an A through an L which stands for one of the 12 federal reserve banks. Torward each of the 4 corners you will notice the federal reserve number which also stands for the same bank as the seal. So if there were an F which stands for Atlanta in the seal there would also be a 6 toward each corner.
I you look at the serial number you will notice that it starts with the letter which is the same as appears in the seal. The last letter designates the block therefore a serial number like F65331512K is said to be of the FK block.
When looking at the current higher denominations the federal reserve district is designated by the second letter in the serial number, there a $10 note with a serial number of CB75394330B is from the B(New York ) District. You will also see a B2 on the left that represents the New York District. Further the first letter designates a series, the C in this case designates the series 2001. And finally this particular note would be the BB block.
Hope this clears it up for you. If you have CU (crisp and uncirculated) notes I'm always looking to add notes to my collection through trades.
thanks
