BEP announces new products

I like these themed products. I wish they had more of this type. I also wish they had more partner programs like Mint coins or USPS stamps.

Series 2017 $1 uncut sheets will be available from the BEP Tuesday, for whoever is interested.

 

Cool...Thanks...Didn't even know that there was a series 2017 now....haven't seen one yet.

 

Notice that, in addition to the Series 2017 $1 sheets, the BEP is now selling Series 2013 $20 sheets. The $20 sheets were Series 2009 yesterday....

If anyone orders either of these new sheets, please do post serial number and plate position data so that we can try to work out the serial ranges used for each sheet printing. I expect that the 2013 $20 sheets will still use the traditional high serials and the 2017 $1 sheets will follow the new pattern of using circulation-issue serials, but the BEP could potentially surprise us in either direction.

 

I ordered a 5-subject sheet this morning.

 

I bought a full sheet, so at least I'll have one 50-note sheet.
I didn't notice that they had changed the $20 sheets. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what numbers they use on the 2017 $1. I have a 2009 $1 32-note sheet that has high serials. I thought they always used high serials on all of the sheets.

 

That's how the 32-subject uncut sheets work. The 50-subject uncut sheets in the 2013 $1's were different--they were taken directly from the circulation-issue print runs, like the old 12- and 18-subject uncut sheets from decades ago. Not sure why the difference...?

 

I ordered one of the 25-subject sheets. It'll be interesting to see if there are different schemes across the different size sheets offered. Would the 25 and the 50 subject notes be printed on the same press?? If not, there may well be a difference in the numbering. I'll report the information as soon as I received my sheet.

 

I’m pretty sure all the different size sheets come from the same original 50-subject sheets, and are portioned down to the desired size.

 

Off topic a bit, but the BEP December production report is out, and so far all of the new 2017 notes are being printed in DC.

 

Just my sheet today, and yes, it looks like it was pulled from regular circulation sheets. Serials run from 35390043 - 35394943. Unlike the 32-note sheet, the lowest number is at the top right, and the highest at bottom left. The skips are 100 vertically and 1000 horizontally. It's from Washington. And it's big

 

Good to hear @DM1

My 5-subject sheet also arrived today.
Back plate number is “2” on all five notes.

 

Oh yeah, front plate is 9, back plate 4. I forgot

 

Another one: 2018 AFF set comes out February 21st. At least they changed the cover this time!

America’s Founding Fathers sets started in 2012 and has Sold Out every year. Initially it was priced at $19.95 and limited to 9,000 sets. The price stayed the same for the 2013 set but the limit dropped to 5,000 sets. In 2014 the price increased $2.00 to $21.95, and the limit dropped again to 3,000 sets. In 2015 the limit increased back to 5,000 sets were it remains the same to this year. Typically, the BEP likes to offer this set early in the year.

Some would say, $21.95 for $3.00 worth of currency is not a good deal, and I would tend to agree. I’m still going to get a set.....more of a tradition than anything else at this point.

 

Collect 'em all!

 

Just got my 25 subject uncut sheet of the 2018 $1 - it's from Atlanta, but follows the serial number sequence of the Washington 50 sheet above.
Serial numbers top left to bottom right are 35399518 and 35395918, front plate 9, back plate 4. As previously stated, big sheet, and his is twice the size of mine. I'm thinking of framing it between mylar sheets for my den.
Hope this helps the gurus...

 

Same here. I bought all the previous editions so I might as well get this year's too

 

I was hoping one day the BEP would include Hamilton ($10) as a member of the Founding Fathers....

 

Interesting pair of the Lucky Money Happy Birthday $1, series 2013, but SN starting with 2018.... I noticed Washington was wearing an old tunic, with lots of moth holes... it repeats in the second note as shown.
