Question #4 revisited: The answer to question 4 is being re-examined. I will provide an update when I hear back from the BEP. Question #5: During World War II, the BEP and Forbes Lithograph Company printed Allied Military Currency Series 1943 for use in Italy. How are the notes printed by Forbes distinguishable from those printed by the BEP? Answer #5: The Series 1943 AMC notes for Italy printed by Forbes Lithograph Company have a small stylized letter "f" hidden in the scrollwork. Most got this one right. c10ck3r 2 gsalexan 4 clayirving 3 wiggam007 5 TheNoost 4 Krispy 5 Duke Kavanaugh 1 Kasia 4 RonTerry 3 Conder101 1 Question #6: The BEP has occasionally printed paper money for countries other than the US and its possessions. The notes printed for only one country other then the US and its possessions by the BEP identified the BEP as the printer of the notes on the notes themselves. Which country's notes carried the BEP imprint? Deadline for answering is Friday February 17, 2012 at 8:00pm Central. The Rules: 1. The contest will consist of a series of 20 questions about the BEP and its history. 2. One question will be posted at a time and run for five days. The closing date and time will be listed with the question. 3. Answers must be private messaged to me prior to the deadline. Answers received after the deadline will not be counted. Please do not answer on the board. 4. The correct answer will be posted when the time for answering has expired. 5. The person who answers the most questions correctly will win the first prize consisting of (1) the Durst reprint of the BEP Centennial book, (2) a CD-Rom of the Pick Catalog of World Paper Money Modern Issues and (3) a $2.00 note from the BEP 2008 series.

I am the sole judge as to interpretation of the rules and whether an answer is correct. Read more: http://www.cointalk.com/t200192/#ixzz1mH6Dtcnu
I would like to submit another answer to #5 for consideration. The second issue (solely FLC) had the amount written out, unlike the previous bills designed by the BEP. Thanks either way!
The question specifically referred to Series 1943, not 1943A. Series 1943 was printed by both the BEP and Forbes Lithograph. Series 1943A was only printed by Forbes.
