Very nice!  Are those the 1.5s or 2.5s?  How are they running?

both.  they run very well.  quality is another story.  The first run of 1.5 square bills I purchased were pretty bad.  The hlaves were not lining up well and the eyes were oblong.  Oh well live and learn.  I have been purchasing from a guy in kentucky and his blanks are the best I have seen.  Very clear and clean lines.
Got one!

McCarter
