The... note number position... on this one dollar bill at the end of the red line next to the six... how high can this number be? Thank you
95999999 for recent notes. I think it was in the 60s that equipment/process changes resulted in this being the highest number (maybe one of the paper money guys like @SteveInTampa or @MEC2 can provide a better timeline). I believe this is due to the 32 note sheet. Prior to that, 99999999 was possible Note: starting with the 1981 series, the BEP has sold uncut sheets to collectors with s/n above 96000000. Occasionally , somebody will hand cut these and spend them, so you might find a higher number that wasn't issued through normal BEP/Fed channels. Hope this helps
Yes, thank you that does help but I'm talking about the number at the end of the red line next to the six. The letter and number next to the six is what I mean. On this particular note the letter is c and then it has a number next to it, if used to be that number was 1 through 4 but now there are also five but how high connects number be
Well, even if my previous didn't answer your question, maybe others will find it useful. The letter/number indicates plate position. A1-H4 as shown below. The link @nm1560 posted above has additional info. Here is the standard 32 note layout This is the layout for the 50 note sheet printed on some of the new presses
Yes, it's A1 to H4 on the older presses and A1 to J5 on the newer ones. But your image of the 50-subject sheet is sideways; there are five columns, numbered 1 to 5, and ten rows, lettered A to J. In the very old days, they used sheets of 18, where the positions were just A to R with no numbers needed. Before that, there were sheets of 12 (A to L), sheets of 8 (A to H), and sheets of 4 (A to D), as well as a very few early series printed in sheets of 3 (A to C). And if you look at large-size Nationals, there were a bewildering variety of things going on, and you can get plate letters like AA or W6, but this is getting pretty far off topic now....
Thanks. I'm not an expert on currency, but I pulled the pic directly from the USCurrency.gov site https://www.uscurrency.gov/denominations/bank-note-identifiers
That is...bizarre.... I'm pretty sure that's an actual government website intended to educate people about currency. How could they get that kind of information wrong? I mean, you can buy an uncut 50-subject sheet; it's not like there's any mystery about what the sheets look like. I don't even....
Well, I'm glad you were able to correct it here. I was familiar with the 32 sheet set up but hadn't paid any attention to the 50 note sheets until the OP posted his question. I would have taken the UScurrency.gov as being correct. Learned something today.
""Yes, it's A1 to H4 on the older presses and A1 to J5 on the newer ones."" That is the answer I was looking for. Straight and to the point so thank you very much. The website where I was reading about the A-4 mentioned nothing about the newer way of producing the bills that use j through 5. So then I come across the bill not expecting that. Seems to be a lot of information that's missing on the internet and doesn't cover the whole scope of an issue. LOL a perfect case in point the Dollar shave club has a link to part of their website that says everything that's on a $1 bill. So I click on the link and they don't even cover the front of the bill. And they mentioned the back of the bill not whatsoever. It is very strange to me why people do that. Here is your complete guide with missing information.
