First Day of Sale: December 11, 2012 (8:00 A.M. ET – Price $49.95) - The year 2012 marks the 150^th Anniversary of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.  In commemoration of this historic occasion, the BEP is proud to present the 150th Anniversary Currency Set.

This limited edition two-note set features a Series 2009 $2 note from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Series 2009 $5 note from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.  The Series 2009 $2 note bears a serial number beginning with “2012,” to commemorate 150 years of pride, craftsmanship, and innovation.  The Series 2009 $5 note begins with serial number “1862,” to symbolize the origin of the BEP.  For each set, the last four digits of the serial numbers on the $5 and $2 notes match.

Each note is protected by a clear, acid-free polymer sleeve and encased in an attractive folder.
