Are banks open on Presidents Day 2010? Are banks open on Presidents Day, ever?

No, they are not.

Presidents Day on the list of Federal Holidays for 2010. Saying the OPM:

“Federal law (5 U.S.C. 6103) establishes the following public holidays for Federal employees. Please note that most Federal employees work on a Monday through Friday schedule. For these employees, when a holiday falls on a nonworkday — Saturday or Sunday — the holiday usually is observed on Monday (if the holiday falls on Sunday) or Friday (if the holiday falls on Saturday).”
