Decided to keep it rather than sell it...

Outhaul

So I had it framed...

Hemispherical

Like that a lot @Outhaul. Where’d you get the frame?

Custom framed at Michael's in Nashua, NH for $127.

I'd keep it too and you'll never go broke.

ChrisH821

I would have done the same. Looks good!
I have a 1976 sheet of twos with the BEP cardboard "frame" around them that I need to get framed.

JimTyler

That's like the ultimate "you'll never go broke with this penny" penny.

coinbuf

Cool.

Cameonut

Many years ago I used a full sheet of "ones" to wrap a Christmas present to my wife. She loved it! (the wrapping was a bigger hit than the gift).

Batman23

I just bought a sheet of those in $2 from BEP when I went to DC last year. I still need to get them framed like that. I was a bit too cheep to buy the $100 bills for the wall hanger.

Walkerfan

Good move.

Nice presentation.

jmlanzaf

More fun to spend. Take scissors and go to the store. The looks you will get when you cut the sheet to pay wil be priceless.

BuffaloIronTail

A very nice example of American engraving skill.

So where did Mrs. Outhaul allow you to hang this?

(Mrs. DCW would relegate this treasure to the downstairs bathroom, next to the poker playing pooches. )

Just think, you can cut them down the center of the portrait leaving two different serial numbers on each "bill". Think of all the "what is my error worth" calls they will generate.

jabba

Very cool

fiftysevener

I though those were cool too ! I think mine is 2003 or 2005 series but decided to mount it myself for my shop.

ms70

Outhaul, what series are they? Even with the big pic I can't see the date.

It's hanging in my office.

Very nice idea....Hanging in the office, you will always have lunch money handy... Or Happy Hour money .. Cheers, RickO

topstuf

I'd hang a pair of scissors right next to it.

@Outhaul
I found this interesting since I know little about currency collecting.

Don't they use special serial numbers for these so that won't work?

Batman23

I am not that familiar with currency but I can't see why it wouldn't work. They are legal tender and real money. They are the same thing they cut up for circulation as far as I am aware.

PerryHall

The BEP used a special series of serial numbers to thwart those who would cut the sheets in such a way to create errors to sell to the collecting community. One could fool a novice paper money collector but you wouldn't fool an experienced collector.

As long as he doesn't keep reframing it.

LeeBone

Nice.

Had one half the size of $2 Bills. Was stolen along with numerous other items in a burglary at my home back in 2005. The perps cut it up and took it to a local quick mart and bought cigarettes. (Video footage showed)

Yes, I believe it is the 99X serial numbers. My sheet of ones and twos are both 99X, this sheet of fives is also 99X.

You can buy the new 50 note sheets.

Did she tear the "paper" while opening??

Think about it a second Matt - would a woman tear up paper money on purpose?

Of course she was careful removing the sheet - I used a minimum amount of "low stick" tape. A quick run thru my paper cutter and we had individual bills. Not perfect, but close enough to spend.

Batman23

That is good info to know. Now I will have to look at my sheet of twos and see if they are all 99s also.

You could always put a plate “Break in case of emergency” with ✂️ hanging next to it

BIGAL2749

It' been hanging on the side wall of my recliner for over twenty years.

It's one of two identicals that I made up for my daughters and this one belongs to the daughter in California but there's no practical way to get it to her.
Wife has always wanted to make a cross country road trip so it may yet be hand delivered.

Neither of them have ever had an interest in coins and bills (other than spending them) but they both thought these were cool

sorry about the size of the image, don't know how to get full size

Hence the obvious joke attempt

DBSTrader2

Very interesting video!

Batman23

Well I'll be. My sheet's serial numbers start off with 99 also. And there goes my fortune.

rte592

Well now, I figured you just cut on the dotted lines

Hemispherical

Carefully fold a small uncut sheer/section (1x4 or whatever) so only the front of one bill is viewable.

Leave as tip.

Watch as waiter/waitress picks it up and unfolds to see a short sheet of uncut bills.

Fun tipping tip.

Timbuk3

Wow, very "cool", also interesting video. Thanks for sharing !!!

sarikanair

Wonderful idea of presentation...
