$2 2003 series in central Massachusetts
 

I went to the bank today to get a pack of $2 bills. About half the
time, it's a pack of uncirculated bills but today it was one of
circulated bills. I started looking at the bills and noticed there was
a higher percentage than usual of series 1976. Then I saw my first
series 2003!

The breakdown in this pack was

1976 30
1995 45
2003 25

I was expecting to see my first 2003s in an uncirculated pack, but I'll
have fun circulating these 2003s over the next few weeks!

Someone spend their private hoard and they just recirculated with the rest of them. You
might even get some 1963 or 1953 or even a 1928 Two in circulated bundles.

Were the wrappers FRB or just bank wrappers? FRB wrappers say "Federal Reserve Bank" on
them and the outer plastic bag that they pack a 10 bundle brick into has a small sticker
with something like "FRB-LA" or "FRB-PHX" (Los Angeles or Phoenix).

I've gotten a few 1963s over the last couple of years. I spend 'em
with the rest. I usually get a dozen or fewer 1976s in a pack of 100.

"Federal Reserve Bank" on them and the outer plastic bag that they

I get just a 100-note pack so I don't know about the plastic bag. The
packs I get always have the green-and-white FRB wrapper.

*grumble*

I don't have any 1963 $2s in my collection, and I'm missing 5 1976
districts: A, C, E, J, and L.

Lucky to find them.
