Cancel Stamp with first day date on Bill edit

The article says this: "Currently, stamped Series 1976 $2 notes typically trade for about twice their face value. If the bills were stamped in a city with an unusual name, the value may be slightly higher. However, no first-day-issued 1976 $2 bills with postage stamps are especially rare or valuable." If one checks Ebay/Auctions, Sold items, these stamped Series 1976 $2 notes are trading for between $5 to $13, depending on the grade and condition. For example, the JFK Stamp first day of issue with the date sold for $8.99. A graded Gem PCGS 65PPQ went for $54.00. Though, not rare, ALL of them sold for more than $4.Easeltine (talk) 09:16, 8 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Two Dollar Bill Taco Bell edit

There is story about a customer going to taco bell and the employee didn't accept it? Can that be added? I'm sure it is just a made-up story. http://www.bestshortstories.com/story/233961/2-bill-at-taco-bell/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/taco-bell-two-dollar/ Cwater1 (talk) 01:41, 6 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Cwater1 I doubt that source would pass WP:RS. Even if it did, I don't see any merit in including the story. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. - ZLEA T\C 02:10, 6 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
I thought I could ask on the talk page before making an edit on the article. I don't think it is needed as it is trivial.Cwater1 (talk) 02:30, 6 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Small-sized bill date edit

I'm wondering which date we should go with for the first bills. They were authorized (and the Series Date) is 1928, but they weren't released into circulation until April 1929. To my mind, either of those dates would work, but I figured this was one of those small things that should be set by consensus. Almostfm (talk) 07:47, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
