Well, it isn't exactly a hit but I did find my own bill from 7 years ago. Back in 1996 (when I was a lot younger) I would take some of my bills and put a backwards J and the last 2 digits of the year just to the right of the portrait. For example, J 96. Well, yesterday when asking for $2 bills at the bank, I got one of my own $2 bills back from way back in 1996. I knew the bill was mine because it had the J 96 on it (also, my handwriting is VERY unique). It is amazing to me that I got one of my own "preWG" bills back. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I have gotten one of my own WG bills back before but I just wonder if anyone else has ever gotten a "preWG" bill back before.
