What happened to the rest of these. Ive been checking the site for the past 2 months and its the same answer. "To be determined" for the first sale day.  I know they had a problem with the last series that came out(Dallas). I ordered 10, like I have on the previous districts, everything was going fine until the website crashed. The BEP called me a week later and told me I was allowed only 1 note. I declined this and instead went to ebay to get the 10 consecutive. I found 10 consecutive decently priced for $150 with a low number note as an extra bonus. So all in all, on that last series with the low number note and the 10 consecutives, I think I broke about even. Please if anyone knows of any information on when the rest of the districts are coming out, please let me know. |

Im sorry to bug you guys, but I'm a newbie when it comes to paper money so... could you fill me in on what you guys are talking about?
Is the Fed still printing 2$ notes? What is BEP? What are STL's?
Thanks and sorry for the dumb questions...

BEP= Bureau of Engraving and Printing This is the paper money version of the Mint and they print all US currency. The Fed only distributes, they do not print anythingSTL= St. Louis Fed District I live in St. Louis so that is my interest in this issue$2 notes are still printed. The first series since 1976 was printed in 1995 and again in 2003. The new series of $2 collector notes issued is the 2003A series and each district will have a run of only 10,000 notes. All serial numbers for each district are 2008XXXX. The BEP's website sells different collector notes just like the Mint's website does with coins. http://www.moneyfactory.gov/store/index.cfm/9BTW, not dumb questions at all. I am still a relative novice at paper too  Edited by biokemist6
