  Sounds like printing money is actually a good business!

Looks like every single thing is out of stock, so maybe not.

  Wow, checked that link an hour ago and almost everything was in stock then.

I mean, it’s a neat idea, but … what do you do with them? Framing one as a picture would seem to invite a burglary, and as a source of individual notes it’s much cheaper to go to a bank. Edit: Not intended as a critical question, btw - I was just wondering how you’d use them.

  You don't use them as money but they have consecutive serial numbers which has uses...

    What uses?
    - implements 4y ago
      Yeah, I’m intrigued now!
    - rightbyte 4y ago
      Dunno. Easier to remember the range than more spread out numbers?

  >what do you do with them? Use them to tip like Steve Wozniak? :D

Does this mean you occasionally find poorly cut bills in normal circulation? If I received one, I'd also be suspicious.

  Sometimes. I used to buy the sheets and rip out bills with half a bill on the surrounding 4 edges. They make fun party gifts. https://s3.sneak.cloud/sneak-public/2003/2003-02-19.jpg https://s3.sneak.cloud/sneak-public/2003/2003-02-19.jpg

    I really like this image: It's eight days older than me, but the quality is as good as it gets. Most of the photos I have from my early years are quite low-res because they were taken with early digital cameras. Hope these people are doing well!

      How do you know the age?
      - sneak 4y ago
        There's a date in the filename. That said, I think it may be misdated, as I think the image is from closer to 2007/8, as I think I shot it on a 40D which only came out in Aug 2007. I've gone through 3 or 4 generations of photo library management software since then and the metadata may have gotten mangled.

        You can tell the age from the $1 bill itself. It looks like it was printed in 2006 and has the signature of Hank Paulson, Secretary of the Treasury from 2006-2009. You can compare it to his signature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Paulson#/media/File:Henry_M_Paulson_Jr_sig.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Paulson#/media/File:Henr...

Why is everyone here assuming uncut sheets aren't legal tender? A look at their faq reveals: ``Because the individual notes on uncut currency sheets are legal tender, they may be cut apart and spent.''
- haunter 4y ago
  I think it's the cutting up that makes it wonky. Not being legal or not but instantly suspicious if you see one with scissor cut edges or imagine making it perforated

I’m going to have to try this. Clemson fans travel to away games with stacks of $2 bills stamped with Tiger Paws. Been a tradition since the 70s when Georgia Tech wanted to cancel our annual series, so our fans showed up in Atlanta spending the $2 bills everywhere to make sure everyone knew the economic impact when we came to visit. It was a big deal to our fans because we weren’t going to bowl games every year back then, so our game in Atlanta was the big trip for the season. Been a tradition ever since and our reputation as fans who “travel well” helped ensure bowl game preferences for years. https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/sports/college/clemson/2017/09/28/clemson-vs-virginia-tech-40-anniversary-clemson-2-dollar-bill-tradition/711655001/ https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/sports/college/clemso...
