More on the $4 Favre bill
It didn't take long and my e-mail box started filling up with e-mails from Packers fans giving me more information about the $4 Brett Favre bill blogged about on Thursday.
Central Florida Packer Backers member Brian OHalloran says his fan club, which now has 1,600 members, started the bills years ago. The original denomination was the $1 Vince (Lombardi) buck, and OHalloran said the club uses the bills as business cards ("we have the only business cards that people actually pick off the ground!"), with information about the club on the back.
In addition to the Vince and Favre bills, the club has created a $15 Bart Starr bill, a $66 Ray Nitschke bill and a $5 Paul Hornung bill. (See end of this post for images sent to me by OHalloran.)
-- andert2 said he got his bill several years ago and pointed out that the serial name (on the image posted on Thursday) is Favre's birthdate.
Others responded, saying they bought their $4 bills in stores in a number of cities in Wisconsin and other states. Thanks to e-mails from Nic, an Orlando, Fla., Packers fan; Bryan Lewis of De Pere; Dave and Collen Chartier; jer-sal (who got the bill during the Super Bowl years); Jeff Babcock; and packergary.
