Otherwise, I use the Pan-Am Inverts reprint of the 2-center. Stuff that the USPS just <i>doesn't expect to be used</i>. I like making clerks do double-takes. But this point didn't occur to me in my dream. The Pan-Am reprints, by the way, are so intricate and fancy-looking that I'm frequently asked if they're denominated in dollars or cents. They're ready to just take my word on it. They're in cents: 1¢, 2¢, and 4¢. Face value 7¢. If you want to try to take a run at defrauding the USPS, I'll sell you a set of mint examples for $3.
