Some vending machines and self-checkouts *do* accept $2's. They rarely advertise the fact, but if you just try to insert a $2, it works...
This will almost certainly never happen. You can do this sort of thing with coins without impairing their usefulness in circulation: there may be...
Why are we even talking about the grade of this note? It's a solid-9's serial, for crying out loud. It's worth moon money even if it grades Good...
On older series like this, many of the alignment marks were in locations that didn't get trimmed off. The exact positions vary between series,...
Was placing a Mint order last week, so I picked up another Lucky Panda just to see what I got. It's still H..F block, actually, like the last...
That's not what "reversed" means. The green seal should be directly behind the green seal on the front, just in mirror-image. It's blurred...
Offset transfers are always mirror image.
Right. It's not transferred from another sheet. Rather, the press cycled without a sheet present at all, and the ink intended for that sheet...
Might be a scratch in the printing plate? Those can produce thin straight lines. It doesn't have the look of a teller stamp. Not sure what else...
Give them a few years, and that's what they'll be doing, once the next generation of serial-numbering equipment is installed (ns-LEPE). Some...
It won't be a perfect match, though: the first block of the 1923 series used prefix letter A and suffix letter B. That series didn't use any...
No, just economizing--there's no reason to throw away still-usable plates, and no reason to go to the trouble of ensuring that old backs are never...
If you do try to sell the circulated notes, the best way might be to put them on Ebay as bulk lots of several dozen pieces. You won't get much...
I've got nothing new to add on these--if anyone does, please let us all know!--but it looks like the BEP/Mint store is offering a new printing of...
Or at least, that's how collectors think of them. Legally, I think FRBNs really are a subtype of National Currency, which is why the BEP could...
Yes. The serial numbers are advancing by 3000 per position. That usually (but not always) tells us the size of the print run: this was probably...
With the modern numbering equipment, consecutive serial numbers don't come from the same sheet; they come from the same position of different...
They start at 00000001, yes. Denominations up to $20 are printed in runs of 6,400,000 notes, so after fifteen runs, the serialling is up to...
In that circulated condition, they're unlikely to have any significant value above face. By the way, the one you described as a 1955 is actually...
It's printed from a Series 1934 face plate but a Series 1934A back plate. (You can tell because the back plate number is in a larger font size...
Separate names with a comma.
