<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 1813209, member: 11668&quot;]These B..* mismatches began turning up in circulation in late 2010, which means that by now they&#039;ve been circulating so long that not many are still being found--the one that started this thread is the first new one I&#039;ve heard of in quite a few months.&nbsp; If Azpiazu knew of 37 of the things a year and a half ago, I doubt there are anything like 100 known now, since the rate of discoveries has slowed down so much over time....</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The 31 serials I&#039;ve observed range from 06710926 (the note at the top of this thread) to 06719949.&nbsp; Position H2 of this print run covers serials 06700001 to 06720000, so we&#039;d expect the error to affect those 20,000 notes.&nbsp; But nobody&#039;s ever seen a note from the lower half of that range, so it seems likely that only half of them got out before the BEP caught the error.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The BEP reported that this run was printed as replacement sheets, so that it ought not to exist in the form of full straps.&nbsp; These notes would have entered circulation one or two at a time, sprinkled through straps of regular notes.&nbsp; So it&#039;s not too surprising that no large quantities have been found (that I know of).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On the other hand, despite the BEP reports, people *have* found full straps of stars from this run (but not with the error).&nbsp; It&#039;s very odd to see part of a run used as straps and part as sheets; they don&#039;t generally do that these days.&nbsp; Oddly, all the straps so far have been from the right-hand half-sheets (positions A3 through H4), with none from the left halves (where these errors from position H2 would be).&nbsp; Dunno if this has anything to do with the error (they caught the error eventually and re-purposed the other half of the run?) or what.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve seen 06731754 without the error.&nbsp; There don&#039;t seem to be any 0672xxxx notes--all 32 positions of the run are missing the lower 10,000 serials, not just the error position.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
