The $2 are really nice and the Silver certificate is also.    Do you ever run across any bills with a counter stamp on them up North?

What do you mean by "counter stamp"?   :)
Folks stamp different things on the bills. Like the Where's George. I know you have seen this one. I  have seen different things on them over the years and was just wondering if any one collected them.

O.K. I see what you mean now. Yes, I've seen "Where's George?", and also I have a few $2 notes with a 13 cent stamp & postmark from 1976 on them.  ;D
