<p>[QUOTE="NOS, post: 3190709, member: 2098"]U.S. currency was printed as 18-note sheets into the 1960's wherein the BEP gradually upgraded to printing them as 32-note sheets. While the lengthy transition took place, both 18 and 32-note sheets were printed at the same time. This is why 18-subject notes dating to 1950E were printed as late as 1968 and were issued alongside considerably more common 32-subject sheet Series 1963A notes.
