<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 2182087, member: 11668&quot;]Serials ending in 9999 and 0000 are nearly always replaced by stars.&nbsp; The BEP pulls those two sheets to check the quality of the printing.&nbsp; Every now and then they miss them and the 9999 and 0000 notes reach circulation, but that&#039;s rare.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At least, that&#039;s been true for the past thirty-some years.&nbsp; In older series, roughly from the &#039;70s on back, finding 9999 and 0000 endings isn&#039;t especially uncommon.&nbsp; And recently we&#039;ve found that in printings serialled on the BEP&#039;s new LEPE lines, the 9999 and 0000 notes generally *do* get into circulation.&nbsp; (So far, LEPE has only been used for some 2009 $1&#039;s and all 2013 $1&#039;s, but it&#039;s expected to be used for other denominations eventually.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
