Uncut currency sheet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Uncut currency sheets)
Uncut sheet of two-dollar bills

Uncut currency sheets are common numismatics collector's items. They are often sold as souvenirs by issuers. After cutting, usually the banknotes can be used as legal tender; however, the cost to purchase uncut currency sheets is typically higher than the aggregate face value of the cut notes.[1]

United States dollar

[edit]

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) has been selling uncut sheets of United States dollars since October 26, 1981.[2][3] Uncut American paper money issued prior to that is a rarity.[4][5]

As of December 2019, the U.S. Mint's online store offers uncut sheets of $1, $2, $10, $20, $50, and $100 notes.[6]
