On a serial number of the format:

AB 12345678 C

A = Year of issue (A=1996, B=1999, C=2001, etc up to J = 2009)
B = Issuing authority (A=Boston, B=New York ... L=San Fransicso)

Hope that helps!

You must be much more patient with your posts.

And as I keep suggesting to you, go buy some books or visit your library to read about paper money so you don't have to rely upon forums for every question. Additionally, use Google! Lastly, as is always the case with "worth" or value questions, it's not necessarily just what the SN will do to the value of your note, but ultimately, the notes condition and the size of it's printage-- books with printage data will help you immensely with understanding which series are more limited (rare) and which are plentiful, how to determine grading and how to determine a small SN.

Here are two web sites you should book mark for future use, both are run bu CT members (not me): www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/stars (Magman) and uspapermoney.info (NUMBERS).



edit: In regards to the thread title, 'how do you tell where newer bills are printed', despite the 12 Federal Reserve districts which are identified in alpha codes around the SN that correspond to each Federal Reserve district, notes are actually printed in just two B.E.P. facilities: 1) Washington DC and 2) Fort Worth, Texas. [Click that link for the Tour facilities page.]

Look for the "FW" notation found on the face of certain series to denote Fort Worth. Notes are printed in these two facilities and only shipped to the Fed district to fulfill their orders, then stay there until ordered by banks.

 

what?? 6 minutes betweenhis initial post and his second isnt long enough

Kristy has a great point about the books. The books we refferenced in your last thread are GREAT assets to any currency collector library. They are inexpensive enough (i would suggest picking up an older volume, they are alot cheaper, and are really not that out of date with their info.) and they offer answers to more questions then you can think to ask right now!

 

Issuing authorities (bills tend to have both letter & number printed directly under the "AB" part of the top-left serial #):

• A1: Boston, MA
• B2: New York, NY
• C3: Philadelphia, PA
• D4: Cleveland, OH
• E5: Richmond, VA
• F6: Atlanta, GA

• G7: Chicago, IL
• H8: St. Louis, MO
• I9: Minneapolis, MN
• J10: Kansas City, MO
• K11: Dallas, TX
• L12: San Francisco, CA

Taken from this site, a good resource for US Paper Money.

The series letters are:

A 1996
B 1999
C 2001
D 2003
E 2004
F 2003A
G 2004A
H 2006 (some $5, all $100)
I 2006 (some $5, all $10, all $20, all $50)
J 2009

Much more info on serial number combinations contained at this website.


The C is simply a suffix letter. For each AB combination, the 12345678 C part is numerically incremented from 000000001 A upwards. Once a maximum is reached (not 99999999 as you'd expect, but 96000000 for these series, from 1996), the counter goes back to 00000001 and the next suffix letter. So, as an example, take the 2009 series $20 bill ... the first letter = J (for series 2009), let's go with New York (B):

JB 00000001 A thru JB 96000000 A then ...
JB 00000001 B thru JB 96000000 B ... then C, D, etc. Note that neither O or Z are used.

Replacement notes (to replace those printed incorrectly or similar) use * as their suffix.

Hope that helps!

 

It should.

 

The issueing authority doesn't mean much these days. Any bank can issue new notes labeled from another bank with star notes from a third bank mixed in. The only reason the bank ID is there is because there is a law that requires them to be so labeled.

 

Might one add that the presence of the Series Letter (as in the example quoted "JB") is for the more recently redesigned FRNs.Notes prior to this issue will have a single letter representing the issuing bank and the ending suffix letter. As mentioned (O and Z) are not used in either case for suffix letters. The letter "Z" is used for specimen notes only if my recollection is correct.

Nice post

I like the old system where they just tell you upfront..LOL

 

Me too dude haha

 

The new notes still follow the same Federal Reserve district alpha codes as the earlier series notes shown, if you knew the old system you should be able to adjust to the newer notes with no problem identifying which district the note was for. It's just not redundant by naming the city, district letter and district number all on the face. Only the full city name has been removed when the Federal Reserve seals were redesigned. Regardless, remember that notes are only printed by the BEP at Fort Worth, Texas and Washington DC.
