Can you elaborate on that? Given that the motto is incuse on this coin, I'd've expected post-striking scratches to behave exactly this way--to...
The BEP's presses, then as now, use several plates in rotation (so one plate is being inked while another is printing while another is being...
The $2 in the third and fourth images: blue vertical stripe in the paper, green screen across the top of the note, red seal and serials. These...
Errors aren't really a subject I know much about, I'm afraid.... But I am a spender of $2 bills, and I can tell you that I've run across plenty...
There's a certain amount of tradition behind calling it a "seven-digit radar". Leading zeroes are sometimes ignored by collectors who are used to...
Those last two are interesting: they're from a mixed run (IL44800001D to IL51200000D), and they've got the lowest sheet numbers yet reported for...
Ah, the O'Donnell book. That one is, unfortunately, the latest edition; Krause let it go out of print after that, more-or-less replacing it by...
You must surrender counterfeit money to the authorities upon request--there's no affirmative obligation to take it directly to the nearest police...
The file that I linked has got brief explanations of why each of the listed serial ranges is interesting. The largest single category is the...

Barr notes are Series 1963B $1's; they carry the signature of Joseph W. Barr as Secretary of the Treasury. He was only in office for a month, so...
I doubt it'll affect *when* the next series comes out--the BEP has presumably been working on creating Rios-Geithner master plates ever since Rios...
One sheet goes through the second (face) printing operation with a corner folded down, so that some of the ink intended for the face side of that...
Easier way: just check the serial number listings for the web notes. It isn't, I'm afraid.... :mad:
Also, if you start looking at things that aren't $1's, keep in mind that the series dates have absolutely nothing to do with the printing dates....
I don't know anything about Guyana notes specifically, but I don't think this degree of variation in the thread's position is surprising. If they...
There were 409,600,000 of the non-colorized 2006 $5's printed, which is pretty short for a $5 series these days. The colorized 2006 $5 is still...
