There's nearly always a new series every year there's a new president (2009, 2001, 1993, 1981, 1977, ...). The only recent exception has been...
Wild guess: Since the point of the redesign is to help the visually impaired, they'll probably start with the most common denominations in...
Sure, but why would they want to? It'd be a lot easier to just add the circle-patterns to their own currency, and keep their people from...
[/LIST]So I guess you didn't win this lot, then? :eek: Seriously, many of the items on your want list are probably easier to find by searching...
Yes, the Federal Reserve's New Currency Budget for 2012 said that the printing problems with the new $100's are, if not entirely resolved, at...
The $5 used "Series 2006" twice because the BEP painted themselves into a corner, basically.... When the Kodachrome redesign began, during the...
Because the 0's are the whole point of that security feature. Color photocopiers are programmed to recognize and reject any image that contains...
If you've got a 2009 $1 L..*, could you post the serial number and plate position? Maybe then we could work out the size of the print run....
For what it's worth, I've been collecting reports of these recent printings for a while already, and I've just updated my website with them...
It's an SOI star note, but so are all the others in this run. And the "SOI test note" terminology that you sometimes hear is misleading, really....
Like you said, the BEP no longer worries about shipping newly printed currency to the "correct" FRB. So if you're in the western half of the...
Nice find! As a bonus, notice that your serial number is above the high observed serial in the latest edition of Schwartz & Lindquist. That's...
Try 4.8 cents in 2010, 5.5 cents in 2011. See Table 2 of this Federal Reserve budget document. Clicking back a few years, the 2008 rate was 4.7...
No problem! :cool: In order to keep straight what happened here, it's really better to think of these $5's as two different series that both...
One thing worth remembering is that EE bonds are guaranteed to double in value (i.e., reach face value) in 20 years. With interest rates as low...
Exactly--except that it's really the other way around. Shortly after the BEP started using this localized fiber paper, they reworked many of the...
Just FYI: this is the reason why some of the 1935x silver certificates have the same signatures as some of the 1957x series. The 1935's were...
Are you sure the bottom note in the first scan is the same note as the bottom note in the second scan? They don't appear to have the same...
It's...complicated. When the BEP prints sheets especially for collector sales, they generally use very high serials, above the maximum number...
Not an error--it was cut from one of the uncut sheets that the BEP sells to the public. In Series 1981, any serial above 99840000 is from an...
