New 1996 $20 notes appearing

I was in Richmond, VA two weeks ago and I noticed my friend pay for
something with a couple of fresh 1996 $20 notes. I thought it was a
fluke thing but the next day I went to an ATM at a gas station just
north of the city and received $200 in crisp, consecutive 1996 $20
notes. They were from the AB/F block run #5. Printed October 1998.
Clearing the vaults I guess...
I have a few extra if somebody is looking for this block.

Its funny you brought that up! Just Saturday here in the Seattle area we took
in several $20 bills and the newest looking one was a 1996. I remember
wondering if someone had it in their dresser for a rainy day.

A couple of weeks ago I got a nice EF+ example of the 1981-A $10 FRN in
change. It is more than unusual to get one of the older design notes now,
especially a 20+ year old example in nice condition. I still chance upon an
older five occasionally, but they are usually a few folds out of BEP
destruction.

Boxes and boxes of bricks (bundles) of 1996 $20 and $100 denominations
(totalling $900 million + were found and seized by the US Army in Iraq about
(?) a year ago. Could be part of that "Hoard" getting back into circulation.

I cashed my paycheck at the bank last week, and asked for large bills. One
that I received was an EF 1990 Minneapolis $100 bill...first old hundred
I've gotten in awhile, so I thought that was pretty cool. It's still in my
wallet

Was this Iraqi hoard all 1996 $20s & 1996 $100s or were there $50s and
or other Series dates in there?
