My grandfather collected $2 bills for a long time. whenever he had a few extra bucks to save, he would go to the bank and get new $2 bills and put them in his safe deposit box. Sometimes he would get five or ten of them, all new with consecutive serial numbers. When he died in '74 his safe deposit box had hundreds of them, from as far back as the 1930s, all new and basically never circulated. I don't know what my grandmother did with them.
