Eh...I'm thinking this whole line of argument is a red herring, because the note itself is illegal anyway--it's a counterfeit! The question is...
In some countries, the freshly printed banknotes are actually packaged by stapling every 100 notes together into a bundle, rather than putting a...
You may also have missed the St. Louis note...the "Double Lucky Money" product, which is also sold out, contains the H2008xxxxD notes that would...
Block I..G, run 13, fp332 looks pretty common as 295s go. There's a census online here; it hasn't been updated in years, but that's probably...
What nobody's pointed out yet is that the backs of U.S. currency are actually printed with two different green inks. They look identical under...
Okay, after the discussion the other day on how often radars happen, I want to know just how unusual this thing is. :D Let's see...out of...
The $2 is going to be well-nigh impossible, though. That serial 65555556 has only been used a grand total of five times on $2 FRNs (1976 B..A,...
Here you go. :cool:
And just in case anyone is still confused by this: the problem, of course, is that the pattern breaks after 9. Between 00099000 and 00100100,...

Not $50's...a bundle of $50's would be $50,000 worth, which is more than most banks would keep on hand at one time. The Fed requires "large"...
Oh, it's not *that* bad.... See this page for a quick summary of all those little markings on the bills, and it'll all start to make sense.......
No, it's because that FRB document only discusses $5, $10, and $20 notes. (Notice that it only lists wear standards for those three...
Hmmm...maybe you're right. I thought I was looking at a broad corner fold that went all the way through to the left edge of the note, but as has...
Eh? I certainly wouldn't call it anything above AU with a crease into the design. The lower CU grades are allowed corner bumps or counting...
For what it's worth, here's a note I picked up on Ebay a few years back. It was just listed as a common silver certificate--the seller didn't...
Exactly. By the way, you can tell from the monthly BEP production reports which print runs of star notes are used as replacement sheets vs....
If they catch an error before the serial numbering step, they just pull the sheet and shred it; no star notes are involved at all. At that early...
March 13. And if the past few Kodachrome designs are any indication, you'll probably be able to get your hands on one within a couple days of the...
