There were a significant number of these errors produced in the 1996 $100's; a fairly large batch of paper was accidentally run through the...
There are not quite 10 billion $1 bills in circulation. But judging by the experience of Canada when they replaced their $1 bill by a $1 coin,...
This is a common urban legend, I'm afraid. The high denominations were discontinued simply due to lack of demand, not due to concerns about who...
I'm confused by this statement. Assuming you meant Series 1995, the standard print runs at the time were 6,400,000 notes (200,000 sheets of 32)....
Are we looking at the same images? :confused: I see vertical quarter-folds, a horizontal centerfold, very broad folds of both lower corners,...
Great, thanks! What's the plate position on that one, another F4? (So far all of the notes with serials outside the reported range have been...
That serial number and plate number are very different from anything previously reported from this run. Are you sure that this note is Series 2006?
Yes, it does. Could you post the plate position (letter/number pair at upper left) and plate numbers (lower right on both sides) from those...
The Federal Reserve destroys all pre-1996 $5 through $100 notes that it receives from circulation. Notice that only the small-head notes are...
There are many 1996 $100's with this error. The currency paper is manufactured with a pattern of notches along the edges of the sheet, different...
Yeah, that's me. He contacted me first, though, wondering if I could explain these notes--it was one of the first of his Ebay auctions that I...
Since the mismatch involves the first digit of the serial number, the wheel was likely set incorrectly to begin with--those first few digits won't...
Could you possibly tell us the plate position and face/back plate numbers from that note? It's from a print run that's already got some oddities...
There's a certain amount of tradition behind calling this a "five-digit radar". I think it goes back to the large-size notes, where the serial...
The 1953-dated $10's (especially the 1953A and 1953B) can be worth a good bit more than some of the 1934-dated versions, because the 1953's had...
April 13, 1976 was the first day of issue for the 1976 $2 notes, so plenty of them were postmarked on that day. Plenty more were postmarked on...
Pretty normal for the old-style $50's. The lettering for THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on the back was engraved very deeply, so there's a lot of...
I started working on my currency website in October 2000, so it's ten years old this month.... It's amazing how much can be accomplished in a...
An update: A more polished form of the same file, with some typos fixed, is now available on the website here. Thanks to all who sent comments...
What you have here are called "offset transfer" errors. Specifically, the $1 has a partial back-to-face offset, and the other two have partial...
