I have lot of junk I collect. Yesterday I was home with my son while he was sick. I figured I would clean out a bunch o' crap from the garage and pitch it. Went through a black organizer that I knew had tape recorder and driver hand book from 1947. I opened the case and saw stamps poking out of the manual. When I opened it I found a 1953 $2 bill. Red seal from the "A" run. Figure is must be worth at least face value right? Just another reason, in my mind, to never throw away anything. I either forgot about it or didn't know I had it. I have had that manual for at least 5 years......

I have a couple of those. My grandfather gave them to me when I was 5.

Look at Jefferson's expression. He's like... " How the h@# did I wind up on THIS bill? "

Nice find BTW. ;)

That's a nice find. Note below Jefferson's picture the words "WILL PAY TO THE BEARER ON DEMAND" refers to silver. I have several of the bills. HH, Mike

I had a couple '76 2 dollar bills awhile ago. Then I realized that you could go to a bank and ask for 2 dollar bills and you can get them. So I cashed them in. This one of course is different. Good find! :D
