I have a $2 stamped note and was wondering if there is a list of known notes out there? I'm assuming that you are talking about a postmarked note, if I'm incorrect on that let me know. I hadn't heard of V-J Day postmarked notes before but I imagine that there are quite a few. A quick search popped up several examples on the internet. Having notes stamped with a postmark at the post office to commemorate a special occasion was pretty common back in the day. There are gobs of U.S. $2 notes that were posted marked for the bicentennial in '76. There is not a list documenting postmarked notes that I know of, but maybe. Collecting postmarked notes is a niche in paper money collecting, very few people, if any, focus on them as a whole. I'd love to see a picture of the note if you get a chance to post it.

Here is one that sold on HA in 2017, it's a $1 Hawaii note.
