The BEP printed the Series 2009 $1 notes on two different production lines: the older COPE that's been around since the '70s, and the new LEPE that was just introduced in 2012. They didn't tell us which printings were done which way, but we can tell them apart by doing some math with the serial numbers and plate positions on the notes. So I've been trying to tabulate exactly which print runs of 2009 $1's were done on COPE and which on LEPE, and I've got *almost* all of them pinned down (see results here). But there are still four runs where I have yet to see any notes at all. Has anyone got a Series 2009 $1 from any of these serial ranges? F 44800001 N -- F 51200000 N F 70400001 N -- F 76800000 N G 76800001 I -- G 83200000 I H 57600001 D -- H 64000000 D If you find any of these, please post the serial number and the plate position (the little letter/number pair toward the upper left of the note). I'd really like to check off these last four runs and close the books on the 2009 $1 series. Thanks much!
COPE is a term for the top mold in sand casting - closed over the DRAG - then your choice of metal is poured in to the mold via a riser/gating system! Have been involved in pattern making to the final casting procedure since 95
Relatively new to paper, so really don't know what to look for on these notes. Maybe someone can give me an education on this one. I know it was a print run of 640,000.
Numbers, wrote the numbers in my "look for" notebook; will let you know IF I run across any; checked what I had in hand and it's zero.
Update: somebody found the F70400001N - F76800000N range (it's COPE). That leaves just three ranges of 2009 $1's still unreported: F 44800001 N -- F 51200000 N G 76800001 I -- G 83200000 I H 57600001 D -- H 64000000 D If you find any of these, please post the serial number and the plate position (the little letter/number pair toward the upper left of the note). I'd really like to check off these last three runs and close the books on the 2009 $1 series. Thanks much!
