Not an error, just some stray ink on the bill. Ink marks like this often appear to be "under" the intaglio printing, because most ink soaks into...
The "block" is the combination of letters that appears in the serial number--so for example K12345678G is from the KG block. Some collectors try...
I don't think it's mislabeled--I think the label means something else. The trouble is that "bookend" has at least three common meanings. One...
That's how the 32-subject uncut sheets work. The 50-subject uncut sheets in the 2013 $1's were different--they were taken directly from the...
Notice that, in addition to the Series 2017 $1 sheets, the BEP is now selling Series 2013 $20 sheets. The $20 sheets were Series 2009...
The BEP's monthly production reports are here. The first Series 2017 printing was in October, and as of November the $1 is still the only...
It can take a month or two for printings of the old series to wind down. As of November (the last monthly production report that the BEP has...
They're four serial numbers apart because the presses use four plates in rotation. The foldover on the 81 note caused some ink to end up on the...
The standard print run for star notes is 3,200,000 notes. That's 100,000 sheets of 32 for most denominations, or 64,000 sheets of 50 for $1's....
It isn't done on purpose, but the BEP messed up. It looks like the DC and Fort Worth facilities weren't communicating very well, and so they both...
And somebody over on the Where's George forum just posted the first circulation find. They're out there! :D
On the other hand, the middle note does have a birthday serial number, 04-21-1963. If you can find anyone with that birthday, they might...
Sure you can. And so can a bunch of other people. And then the storekeeper will end up with hundreds of the things, and he can take them down to...
Speaking of the BEP site--I'm not sure when it happened, but the $2 Lucky Money 8888 sheets are finally sold out.
Umm...this is a very common 1928D $2. Without the signatures it's maybe worth five bucks in that condition. No need to worry about bringing down...
Sadly(?) that's no longer true. If we'd replaced the paper $1 with a $1 coin back in the '80s or '90s, we would have saved a lot of money; and if...
Traditionally there are supposed to be zeros in the middle: 79000079, or 52100521. But it's not uncommon for definitions to get looser on...
o_O That page values the OP's note at $125-$180. Where are you seeing $250? (Are you looking at the value for a Gold Certificate? This note is...
