Message:: [QUOTE="tbudwiser, post: 1252890, member: 32774"]The design for the 1996 $20's was used for 3 series: 1996, 1999, and finally 2001. Here is a minor misconseption the people seem to have a mistake on. 1996... Doesn't that sound pretty old? It does to me. 15 years. But heres the issue with that: These bills didn't actaully even start issuing until June 1998! And, it all depends on the suffix block letter when it was actually printed. Most weren't even prited then. They were printed from June '98 to September '01 (mainly until March of '00, but there was one separte run of Chicago stars way later in Sep '01) I tried saving one, but instead what I did was spend it on a better older note that will gain premiums sooner. Also, it depends on FRB. Right now, if I cam accross a 1996 $20 Minniapolis in at minimal XF condition, I would most deffinately save it. They barely printed any. The serial number would start like this: "AI ######## A or B". Minniapolis printed 108,800,000 notes for that series and denomination as apposed to Chicago district which printed a wopping 1,107,200,000 notes. Hope you found that helpful. BTW, what are the block letters of your bill?[/QUOTE]
