<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 402889, member: 6986&quot;]There are two ways printers deal with notes damaged in the printing process.&nbsp; One is called the replacement method where a different series of notes are printed and inserted into the finished product in place of the damaged notes.&nbsp; These will usually be identified usually by a unique identifier in the serial number such as stars, crosses, different prefixes, etc.&nbsp; US MPC replacements do not have a suffix letter in the serial number.&nbsp; JIM notes for the Philippines were identified with a leading number 1 in the serial number.&nbsp; Japanese military notes for China have a leading number 9 in the six digit serial number notes and a leading 1 in the seven digit notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other system is the make up system.&nbsp; In the make up system, the replacement note is given the same serial number as the replaced note.&nbsp; This system is most frequently used by private contractors.&nbsp; The make up system hides how many notes were replaced.&nbsp; Too many replacements may not be appealing to the customer.&nbsp; Try finding a replacement on a series printed by ABNC.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Small size US National currency used a make up system.&nbsp; The serial numbers on replacements were applied by hand and can be identified with a trained eye because they are often misaligned.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The replacement system was traditionally more efficient for the printer from a time stand point than the make up system.&nbsp; Advances in printing technology may have closed that gap[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
