I think the dating conventions for paper money may be confusing you. The hair may have been changed in 1956, but the notes kept on being printed...
What happened was, the sheet *before* this one went through the face intaglio printing with a big corner folded down. Thus, some of the ink that...
One comment: What program were you trying to scan the notes into? If you were scanning into, e.g., Photoshop, then the warning dialogs were very...
Um...what? That's not a web note--if it were, it wouldn't have the "H4" plate position indicator at upper left.... More to the point, there are...
MPC replacements use what I've sometimes heard called "zap" serials: the suffix is missing entirely, as on this note from dready's collection....
It's just a novelty item--if you soak a bill in the right chemical solution, it'll make the cotton fibers contract, and the bill shrinks like this...
The 2003A $1 B..* had 7,360,000 notes printed, in five print runs. They started at serial 00000001 but had some gaps, so they used serials as...
Inverted letters, we got.... As far as I know, this is the only inverted-letter printing known in U.S. currency. (And I'm still looking for more...
No, this is not how star notes work--that would defeat the entire purpose of star notes. The serial numbers are not matched this way. This star...
Um...no. Zimbabwe's already up into the trillions, but the record is still held by Hungary's 100 million billion pengo. That's an old-style...
The L02269795B and L84396375B are the lowest and highest known serials with the #204 back plate, but very few of the serials in between used this...
If it's real, then: 1. It would be printed on fairly good-quality paper, which would still feel paper-y, not brittle. Dark brown, brittle paper...
I am confused...how are you figuring out that it's a #204 back when she only posted a photo of the face? :confused:
And this one's interesting because the two A's in the two serial numbers are in different typefaces. The one on the left is more common for later...
Didn't Zimbabwe's "trillion" series just break that record? I *thought* I saw a picture with all the zeroes written out.... :confused:
That started with the first small-size notes, Series 1928. On large-size notes, there are never any leading zeroes in the serial numbers. It's...
It doesn't lower the grade because it's supposed to be there--it's part of the original engraving in the printing plate. I don't have an image of...
Yep, just read that last night. Neat stuff.... :cool:
No nomination yet. When there is one, the first place you'll hear about it is probably either here or here, depending on whose web gremlins are...
You can certainly *ask*. The response will vary tremendously from one bank branch to the next.... If there's a teller working there who collects...
Separate names with a comma.
