I got a 1999 $10 star note the other day and I wanted to look up the value, but I can't figure out how to tell what city/district it came from. How can you tell? Thanks in advance.
can you right out the serial number? the letter before the numbers can tell what district it came from. monkeyman
Serial number= BK 04772478 * Lower left corner= H2 Upper left corner= K11 Above right of Hamilton= H 16 FW Hope this helps. Thanks.
Klunky, Gatzdon gave you the answer and you found an easy way on your own. K11 also gives it away as a Dallas note. Here's the list for you of all 12. A1 Boston B2 New York C3 Philadelphia D4 Cleveland E5 Richmond F6 Atlanta G7 Chicago H8 St. Louis I9 Minneapolis J10 Kansas City K11 Dallas L12 San Francisco The number you found with the FW means it was printed at the Fort Worth facility. If there is no FW it was printed in Washington D.C. This can matter as well as in some series' notes will be printed at both facilities. Most common for Atlanta (F6) notes and it can have an affect on value. Welcome to paper money. It's an entirely different animal. clembo
... With big sharp teeth, a big (wagging) bushy tail.. and a loud roar Unfortunatly, i dont think your note will carry much of a premium above face value. Still a star, still a keeper in my book
thanks Here's the list for you of all 12. Thank you that helped me a lot I wrote it down and put it with my stash
I'll bet there are one or two others here who are old enough to remember when the name of the Federal Reserve District was actually included on the face of each bill. That was before the changeover from "greenbacks" to "monopoly money".
They are still on the $1 and $2 bills. I use those as my cheat sheet. I "know" them all, but can't always recall them on demand.
Thanks. Good info here. I have a paper money value book that I looked through, but I couldn't find where it said which letters indicated the cities and which ones did not...on the newer bills that don't write out the name. Now I know. Thought it kind of odd to make that kind of thing so hard to find. Google wasn't much help either...I'm sure the right combo of keywords would've helped, but I didn't find them.
