    Paper testing was started using the 1928-A $1 Silver Certificate plates.
    The objective was to see if a longer circulation life could be achieved by using different papers.
    Test results, if any, were never published most likely because not enough notes were recovered to draw a conclusion.
    Printing was done in late 1932 and the notes put into circulation in early 1933.
    The X-B and Y-B groups were on experimental paper.
    The Z-B group was the control.

    Not surprisingly my notes are low grade; higher grades cost beyond what I was willing to spend.
