The Bureau of Engraving and Printing sells them through the official government website, priced above face value as collectibles. Every note can be cut out and spent. Handing the whole sheet to a cashier is also valid, though they will silently curse you.

    Yeah that was in the Dubya administration, with the “gold” Sacagawea coins.

      Yep, those were as “gold” as the prevailing story about her is true. 🙃

        Must be a running theme with women on the dollar coin. I’ve heard a lot of myths about Susan B. Anthony.

            Might be a thing about being on dollar currency. There’s a bunch of bullshit out there about George Washington.
