pennrj430 Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 04/05/2010 09:30 am Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to coin collecting, but don't know all too much about paper money. I wanted to run this by everyone. Is this $2 bill worth holding onto? It looks pretty good, and has a fairly cool number? I also have another $2 bill that looks exactly the same but it is from 1953, the problem is there is a few numbers hand written on the obverse. Anyway, any info you can give me would be great. Thanks http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/.../obverse.jpg http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/...lreverse.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 04/05/2010 11:51 am i'd keep it too. In fact, my dad gave me a $2 Canadian bill that has the name Vera written on it with a phone number, lol. I'm keeping that to make me laugh. Report this Post to the Staff
pennrj430 Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 04/05/2010 12:27 pm lol, Libertad, did you ever try calling Vera? Thanks for your advise. I'll hang onto this and the one with writing on it for a while then. Are regular 1976 $2 bills with no significant number patterns on them worth keeping? I have 10 or 12 of them too. Should I hang onto them or spend them? Report this Post to the Staff

No reason to keep circulated examples, they can still be easily obtained from banks. I would keep CU examples though as they are getting tougher to find for face value but they still do not have much of a premium. Also, any red seal in decent condition is a keeper Edited by biokemist6 04/05/2010 1:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

karrlot Pillar of the Community United States 535 Posts	Posted 04/11/2010 10:55 pm I keep all red seals I find. Its not common to find them. I've gone through about 3,500 $2's and found probably a dozen of them. Report this Post to the Staff
