Okay so when I first started collecting circultion finds, I only used mycurrencycollection.com to lookup stars. When I got more into it, I started using USPaperMoney.Info as well. I've always had it in my head that he first run of 2004 $20 Chicago stars was a 640k run. This information was cited from mycurrencycollection.com. Today for the first time in a while, I checked the 2004 $20 block printings on USPaperMoney.Info. There is different information there. There is also differentialities in the runs of 2004 $20 A stars as well. Which source is correct? My teller has a HUGE LOT of 2004 $20 *'s for me to go pick up once I get the $ to do so. But for now, I'm picking up like 1 per week. I am trying to find out what ones to grab from her first... I have doubts that these are the only differences, but these are all I can point out for right now. http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/f2004_v.html vs http://mycurrencycollection.com/reference/stars/20#2004 Thanks for the help! -tbud
www.uspapermoney.info is correct. You can look it up yourself. Look at the production report for September 2003. It shows 3,200,000. There is an error in the information on the uspapermoneywebsite, however. The second print run 3,200,001-3,520,000 was not until October 2004. It is listed there and in September 2003. http://www.moneyfactory.gov/uscurrency/monthlyproductionreport.html
I'm also confused...I can't find any differences in the 2004 $20 data in the two links, and I can't find the error that Lettow mentions. Are we all looking at the same websites? If I've got a typo or an error someplace, I'd like to fix it, but I really don't see what y'all are looking at....
Ignore my previous post. I was heavily medicated from a dental procedure when I wrote it. Upon further review I do not see any difference between Numbers numbers and those from the BEP. Shortly after writing my earlier reply I spent more money than I should have on some Brazilian notes from an online dealer. There is a lesson in this for all of us -- people who are medicated should not operate a computer.
You don't see the how your link calls the first run of 2004 $20 stars 3.2mil and the other link shows that it is a 640k run? That's a HUGE difference... -tbud
Both show first run of 3.2 million for Chicago (EG) and 320,000 for EA. The only first run of 640,000 run is EE which both also show.
Either mycurrencycollection.com changed with the quickness or I'm heavily medicated without even realizing it!
The information for all the EA stars is the same on both pages. They report the numbers differently. Numbers shows the actual serial number ranges. The other one only shows the number printed by each run. You may be confused by the gap in the serial numbers (there is a gap between EA 00320001-03200000 and a gap between EA 03520001-06400000).
I know it is now... But before, if I'm not totally crazy, it was different! That's the whoe reason that got me to start this thread!
