Treasury to Print More $2 Bills:)
Scottishmoney
Story on ABC News this morning that the Treasury has announced they are
going to print them again for the first time since 1996. Now I won't have
to hunt so hard for them:)

that the $2 bill would be redesigned, but it would be nice. I actually wrote
the Treasury Secretary urging the redesign of the $2 bill but I wonder if he
will take heed of the idea. I wish I would have mentioned a possible Louisiana
Purchase theme on the back of the $2 bill.

immediate plans to redesign the $1 or $2. I assume they will just be series
2003 with Snow and Marin signatures, even though she walked the plank.

The government making more of them won't make them easier to get,
except that the publicity will make more people and banks realize it is
still a current denomination.

vaults. They are printing new ones just to assure a supply. The new ones
will be 2003 series with the same design as now. Printing more will have no
direct effect on whether they circulate more, but articles like the recent
ones will make people aware that they are still available.
I'm picking up another strap of Toms tomorrow, hopefully crisp new - at
least that what I asked the vault teller to order.

does this mean, maybe eventually they will be redesigned? The saying seems to
hold that possiblity open.

It could also be 2003a if a replacement for Marin comes along quickly.

They are seen so infrequently most people don't realize how rare the
1976 series "thin serial number digits" variety is. *shrug* Makes it
a bit easier for me to find them.

Does anyone know how the Mint stocks the uncut sheets?
Whenever they make a change do they change the uncut sheet stock?
Thanks

still have them in stock?

have them in stock?>
You can ask for and/or order $2.oo Bills and get them, but you cannot specify
the Series, District, Block or condition. It's sort of like 'pot-luck', you
get what they got.

those printed by COPE vs earlier notes? I thought the BEP had
converted to COPE by the time that the first $2 FRNs were printed.

I hooked into collecting coins at age 9 suddenly fell in love with paper
money. I gave my 4-piece uncut $2 bills to her. Thanks to Coinsaver
straightening me out I now have a new respect in paper money. I still
have a hell of a lot to learn about what paper money to collect and what
to spend. I know I love $2 bills though. I think I like them because the
back of the bill has an artist beauty that other bills lack. I hope I
can learn more about paper money from all the posters in this NG.

(I'm unfamiliar with COPE.) I think in the mid-70s the printing
device for the serial numbers changed. All 1969 and 1974 series notes
used the old device, all 1977 series used the new. The twos in 1976
were caught during the transition.
The newer device produced thicker digits which were better aligned and
had slightly different shapes (especially for the "2" and "3"). The
difference can be seen here: http://www.insystem.com/2d2.jpg
The old (thin) digit variety is rarer than the new, and for some
districts they are a VERY small percentage of the 1976 series. All
star notes are thin digit. Other than star notes, I've not found any
thin digit variety from Richmond. Most common thin district I believe
is New York. For most, but not all districts, the thin digit variety
has a lower serial number than the thick.
I hestitate a bit to share this info because once commonly known,
it'll become that much harder for me to find the thins. ;-)

Steve,
http://www.sit.wisc.edu/~dmoffitt/serials/cope.html has quite a bit
of info, including serial number ranges for COPE vs. non-COPE notes
take care,

Scott, excellent info at that site. You can tell I'm a newbie at this
since I never even knew this difference was known as COPE. I see the
serial number lists confirm what I had reasoned by obsevation
regarding relative rarity. Great stuff, thanks.
Scott Stevenson
Glad to help. If you drop "cope.html" from the link, it's the main
page for the BEP's monthly breakdown. It's got a ton of info. I
don't believe it's put up by the BEP, but I know that several people
in the NG use it as a resource.
take care,
Scott
