<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Small Size, post: 2622093, member: 77924&quot;]The BEP prints star notes in such quantities that they are always available to replace defective regular notes. In the past when a series ended, its remaining star notes were destroyed. At a point in the past, probably in the 1980&#039;s, the BEP began to issue surplus star notes in packs when a series ended, rather than waste them.</p><p>After that, one would occasionally find a pack with all or mostly all star notes. Still later, the BEP started using star notes as a sort of ready reserve. If an order was coming up short or another issue was making it complicated to fill an order, it would dip into this reserve to solve the problem. Then you started to see entire bricks of star notes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
