They're not "legal tender" anywhere, as states don't have the authority to decide what's legal tender. Merchants can of course choose to accept...
While that book is certainly useful, you don't need a list of plate numbers to figure out whether a 1934 note is a mule or not. Just look at the...
They haven't sold star sheets in years, so it has to be a genuine BEP error. There are basically two ways this could happen. Either there's a...
It's an anti-counterfeiting device. The bank (or other authority) that issued the note would keep the stub that was cut off at the left side, and...
Offset transfers are always face-to-back or back-to-face. This is face-to-face, so it's post-BEP damage, not an error. Most likely the note was...
The $500 has a plate position that doesn't check: that serial number should fall in position B or H, not position C. The $1000 gets that detail...

o_O Um...the 14 is a plate number, yes, but the letter in front of it matches the letter from the plate position. Here we see an F and an H, so...
No, you're thinking of how large-size Nationals worked. For small-size Nationals, the plates aren't bank-specific; the bank name and charter...
I think you're misunderstanding the word "redeem". Only the U.S. Treasury could redeem paper currency for gold or silver (taking that piece of...
Since the presses use several plates in rotation, I don't think the plate numbers would necessarily have to match. But, yes, it does seem...
In fairness to the video, he's talking about duplicate serials (the same serial number was accidentally printed twice in the same...
I just ordered one a couple of weeks ago and got an H..E block, which wasn't newsworthy. The H..H is new to me -- do you have a link to that?...
Um...pretty sure that set was issued on August 8, 2008. That's why it's called the 8.8.8 set, after all....
I don't think the Fed cares much about the series designations printed on the currency. They order by denomination and design generation....
