NEW TWENTIES REPORTED

  Brad Karoleff  writes: "One of my customers works at the
  branch of the Federal Reserve in Cincinnati.  He came in on
  the 9th and spent three of the new $20's which I then took
  to the Post Office and had canceled on the official first day
  of issue.  I had spent most of the morning trying to obtain
  some from any of the local banks, or the Fed itself without
  any luck.  Did anyone else get any on the first day?"

  Jeff Starck writes: "I found a new $20 on Oct. 10, the second
  day in circulation, in my cash drawer at work, a Walgreens
  pharmacy in Ballwin, MO (a suburb or St. Louis).

  Randy Partin reports: "I received 4 of the new $20 bills out of
  my ATM on Sunday October 12."

  On Thursday, Chick Ambrass wrote: "I got four of the new
  twenties (in numerical sequence) today...first I've seen..."

  Tony Tumonis writes: "Bank of America has the new $20 Bills
  here in Tucson."

  Dave Ginsburg writes: "I managed to get one of the new $20s
  last night (the manager of the diner we ate dinner at had one
  he was willing to let me have).  I like the addition of color - I
  thought that the Series 1996 bills had too much white space on
  them."

  Your editor finally came across some of the new twenties on
  Thursday.   With the help of a bank teller, I chose two nice
  examples, plus two of the previous series and two of the older
  small portrait type.  I'll use them for an exhibit at next week's
  coin show and convention of the Pennsylvania Association of
  Numismatists at the Pittsburgh Expo Mart in Monroeville, PA.
  If any E-Sylum readers are at the show, I hope to run into you
  there.

  Is anyone archiving the promotional materials and print
  advertisements for the new twenty?  What about the TV
  commercials?    These videos ought to find their way into the
  major numismatic literature repositories.
