Uncut Currency Sheets from the U.S. Mint

Tootawl

When did the U.S. Mint start selling uncut currency sheets?

kranky

Probably about 10 minutes after they realized somebody other than them (the Bureau of Engraving and Printing) was making money from collectors.

I took an uncut sheet of (4) $1 bills once and tore one off to try and pay for something. They refused to accept it!

Here's the link to the BEP...they have all sorts of uncut currency. Word of note, once the uncut sheets of old style $5/$10/$20 sell out, that's it. Only the new style will be available. Alot of people are rat-holing these.

I bought a 16 count $1 sheet from the BEP in DC and had it displayed in a frame in my office. One of my co-workers wanted to know how I got the individual bills lined up so evenly.

I told her because I took my time and I'm so talented!

Went to an ANA show,bought a 32 note sheet of ones,stood in line to have ,Mary Ellen Withrow,sign and date it,also have used uncut notes for wrapping paper on gifts.

They started selling them about 2 months ago. It was somewhat of a mix-up, as they sent out email via the US Mints Newsletter, stating they are now selling them online; but they did not have them for sale yet. It took them another 2 weeks to acutally get it online. But they have been for sale for about 2 months now.

I wasn't going to get any, but after hearing how Blade used his, I have to try that. That was just too funny!

I baught an uncut sheet of $2.00 notes over 2 years ago and when I was watching TV the other night (2 or so weeks ago) I saw the money show on TV hawking them for like $40.00 OVER what I paid from the mint.$89.00 plus S/H.

I just bought at the last Long Beach show an uncut sheet of eight $2.00 bills from the BEP booth.They look really nice in a frame.

Numobri, wrap my gift in twenties, will ya? Did you hear I asked Santa for an empty refrigerator box?

relayer

I think instead of folding and taping the sheet to use as wrapping paper would be a waste.

Why not just wrap the sheet in a box and throw away the paper. That would be a much better gift then a crumbled up sheet.

My brothers kid got such a gift,the kid asked if they were spendable,he cut it up to buy gas for his car,he got a chareg out of it.

onthespot,if i buy a frig,maybe.

Something to watch for regarding these is people creating error notes out of these sheets and selling them on eBay for some pretty tidy sums. The full sheet notes all have serials starting with '9', and none of the circulating notes do...that's how you can tell the difference between a real miscut note and a pair of scissors to an uncut sold sheet. Just a tidbit of info..

Conder101

There ARE circulating notes with serial numbers starting wih 9. Paper notes are printed in runs of 40,000 sheets and the serial numbers count DOWN as they are printed. This leaves one odd run of less than 40,000 sheets which they use for the highest numbers and they are used for the uncut sheet sales. the lowest serial number in the uncuts is I believe 99600000.

I like the miscut note idea...really creative...so few would ever know...
