Description :
These notes were re‑released on April 13, 1976, coinciding with the U.S. Bicentennial. On that day $2 bills were purchased and then taken to a local post office to have them stamped with a 13¢ stamp, and hand‑cancelled with a circular postal date stamp reading APR 13 1976. It was known as a grassroots collectible phenomenon, not an official Mint program. Today, these notes are collectible because: They mark the first reissue of the $2 bill since 1966. They blend numismatics + philately, which appeals to crossover collectors. Many were kept crisp and uncirculated. THESE NOTES are crisp and uncirculated. Several are numbered consecutively. The cancellation date ties them directly to the Bicentennial celebration.
