My question is approximately how many of each were printed? And why both kinds? __________________ -- Matthew   11-07-2009, 03:18 AM   #2 (permalink) blue_oxen Junior Member     Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Lamar Colorado Posts: 200 My Mood: i don't know how many but the reason you find 2 types is that they started to print the new bills in march of 2008 but that was still the 2006 series . Hopefully someone can answer this better for you .   11-07-2009, 01:48 PM   #3 (permalink) Daggarjon Supporter**     Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Michigan Posts: 7,998 My Mood: i dont know if you can know exaclty how many of each were ptined as i think both were printed at the same time for a while.. not really sure. www.uspapermoney.info/serials will tell you appx how many were printed once you know the date the newer design was started. __________________ Please visit My coin and currency Website.

There were 409,600,000 of the non-colorized 2006 $5's printed, which is pretty short for a $5 series these days. The colorized 2006 $5 is still the most recent issue, so I haven't bothered to add up the total printage because it may keep changing...though the switch to Series 2009 ought to be coming through any month now. Feel free to add up the total yourself if you like; all the serial ranges are here.   11-09-2009, 11:41 PM   #5 (permalink) Billy Kingsley History Via Numismatics     Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Dutchess County, New York Posts: 405 My Mood: Blog Entries: 8 What I can't understand is why this major design change did not warrant a new series. I wish currency was dated in the year it was produced! __________________ Billy Kingsley Member ANA, SPMC I don't care about a coin or note's "value" or material composition.

You'll see a series 2009 next since BO was elected president.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk? Coin Talk Code of Honor 1.
