Your local bank will pay out an old $100 if somebody deposits one, yes. But if it gets to the Federal Reserve, it won't get out again. They only...
These days, that's correct: the FRB letter runs from A to L, and the block letter runs from A to Y (minus O, but plus *). So there are 12x25=300...
It's not a matter of Atlanta stars always being desirable; it's a matter of the 2009 $5 Atlanta star in particular being fairly scarce (only one...
Eh, maybe not very *good* script, but there are definitely a lot of connected letters: [IMG] Mnuchin's signature, in contrast, is truly...
It means they're only going to sell 5000 of this product, but the same coins/notes used in this product may also appear in other products at some...
If you got these images from two different sites, then they presumably come from two different scanners/cameras, which may have had very different...
Not really more collectible, but I think they're kinda neat. The ones with no letters are just the first block printed--the first 100,000,000...
Not sure what you mean about "not in order". Those serial numbers are advancing by a perfectly consistent 48,000 per position. The skip of...
Makes sense as regards the cent, but your math is way off as regards the dollar bill. There are no "billions of already-struck dollar coins"....
Yeah, the article didn't explain that well. Modern bill acceptors could easily be reprogrammed for a redesigned $1 note; the problem is that...
The stamped line does not go behind the security ink. It goes over the security ink, but the stamper ink doesn't stick there. Happens all the time.
Looks like it was folded up in a wallet that got wet. If you fold it in half the long way, the "ghost" images line up with the regular printing...
Well, that was quick...thanks much! :cool:
Hi all...I'm usually over on the Paper Money forum, but I've got an old coin that a friend asked me to identify and value, and I was hoping...
This is true for all the terms you list, *except* bookend. Bookend serials (where the first few digits match the last few digits, like 28700287...
Basically 1 in 100. The large-size notes didn't use leading zeroes in the serial numbers; the first serial of the block was just Z1B, and then it...
With the new LEPE overprinting equipment, the left serial and the right serial on each note are printed by two separate drums. The new...
Regarding the Mint webstore: "Sold Out" means there ain't no more. "Currently Unavailable" means there might be more--maybe large quantities that...
H88885215F, position C2, plates 22/31. But judging by our and Steve's previously posted serial numbers, the notes aren't being shipped in...
For what it's worth, I was placing a year-end order with the Mint and threw in a Lucky Panda just to see what I'd get. It arrived today--another...
