But what Canada now uses is a third system. When they catch a defective note, they just pull it out, so the serial numbering sequence just skips...
It's a note with a star in the serial number, in place of one of the letters. The BEP uses them as replacements for notes that are found to be...
Or the Hungarian pengo. Zimbabwe's still got a ways to go before they catch up with the all-time record for absurdly-denominated inflation...
And it should be noted that on *star* notes, at least in recent years, one leading zero is pretty standard. Stars just aren't printed in huge...
Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by "repeater". If you're strict about it and you only accept the traditional ABCDABCD format, then they...
Let's see, the math shouldn't be too bad here.... The number of possible serials with no repeated digits would be 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3, which works...
The web press was an attempt by the BEP to reduce the cost of currency production. If it'd worked better, most likely all of our currency would...
Just in case anyone is interested: I just received confirmation from the BEP that, yes, 64,000 of these GB..* $50 notes were printed in February...
This note definitely has its serials and signatures printed with the bill. If they were handwritten, they wouldn't be green or black; they'd be...
Yeah--as a general rule, anything that comes packaged in a fancy printed informational folder is a novelty/gimmick, not a prototype. Prototypes...
Choice Crisp Uncirculated is usually abbreviated ChCU. It's the step below Gem Crisp Uncirculated (GCU), so it's about 63 or 64 on the TPGs'...
Some currency graders prefer the term New rather than Uncirculated. You'll also see CU, Crisp Uncirculated, which is parallel to the coin term...
This is from one of the BEP's "Lucky Money" sheets. Serial blocks reported so far are H..D through H..K. All were issued as eight-subject...
The black portion of the overprint (the Fed seal and the four 12's) is shifted a little low, yes. But the shift isn't large enough to be...
I thought perhaps some of the star-note collectors here could help with this: I got an email about a week ago reporting a 2004A $50 found in...
Check which FRB that one's from. The AD..* $100 is quite scarce (only 160,000 printed) and might be worth a premium even in that grade. If it's...
Also note that the $10 has two different styles of "A" in the two serial numbers. The high-crossbar "A" (seen in the left-hand serial) is a bit...
Extremely common, and not really an error. With the larger seals and taller serials, there just wasn't that much space to spare, and it doesn't...
That's what I'm thinking. The article says he's "hoping" the Treasury will find $1700 in the box, which seems to imply that the money was so...
Are we looking at the same image? It looks exactly like "JECoyne" to me....:confused:
Separate names with a comma.
