|  Mantle and DiMaggio signed $2 bills- opinions please 
			
			I'm posting these two scans of signed Mickey Mantle and Joe D. signed $2 bills for a friend.  Could you please render your opinions on whether these are real or not? Many thanks for taking the time in advance! |

|  Thanks 
			
			Thanks to all that offered their opinions.   I was very convinced that both of these were bad, but I wanted some confirmation from others before I break the bad news to my friend Mike. I appreciate the help!   |

			Opinions can be argued, but facts can not. FACT 1: There were no $2 Bills printed in FY1995. (Ref. http://moneyfactory.gov/uscurrency/a...onfigures.html ) FACT 2: In FY1996 and FY1997, 153,600,000 $2 bills were printed as Series 1995. (Ref. http://moneyfactory.gov/uscurrency/a...onfigures.html ) FACT 3: FY 1996 began October 1, 1995 FACT 4: Mickey Mantle died August 13, 1995 CONCLUSION: Unless one had ample fuel for the flux capacitor in the DeLorean, it was a chronologically impossibile for Mantle to have signed the $2 bill. .
