Look At This $2.00 Bill.

Hope you guys find this Bi-Centennial momento interesting.

I have 5 of these all in Mint State.

Notice the postmark, July 4th, 1996 at LIBERTY, Missouri.

The image doesn't seem to be working. I have been having the same problem. Edit the message, delete the image and re-upload it.

The image worked for me on the 4th try. Don't know what that means.

Those $2s with the canceled stamps - was anything like that done before or since? Or was that a Bicentennial thing only?

This is the first one I've seen with a postmark other than 13 April 1976. The two-dollar bill was reintroduced on that date, but ended up being less successful than the SBA (hard to believe). The 13 April date was chosen because it's Jefferson's birthday. Most of them sell on eBay now for about $2.00 each.

Image is woking for me but only after several tries.

These $2 bills were personally done by a stamp collecting friend of mine and myself. He is a fiend for 2 dollar bills and is on a personal mission to get them into circulation. He gets about $200 worth every week and uses them for all his cash purchases. Been doing it in KC for many years now.

As far as I know there are only 20 or less of these Liberty Missouri post marked twos in existance. Forget how we got the date, going to call him tomorrow and see if he remembers how many we did and how.

Ill post it when I learn more.

That is weird since the post office was closed that day.

Will call my friend tomorrow and see if he remembers how we did it!
