<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 3362861, member: 11668&quot;]Not really more collectible, but I think they&#039;re kinda neat.&nbsp; The ones with no letters are just the first block printed--the first 100,000,000 notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1899 $1, in particular, had a *lot* more notes printed than any previous series, so the BEP had to get a bit creative with the serialling to avoid running out of blocks.&nbsp; Over the course of 24 years or so, they printed:</p><ul> <li>One &quot;plain&quot; block, with symbols at both ends of the serial.</li> <li>Fourteen single-letter blocks, with a letter prefix and symbol suffix.&nbsp; These were A, B, D, E, H, K, M, N, R, T, V, X, Y, Z.</li> <li>Fifteen double-letter blocks, with matching prefix and suffix letters: AA, BB, DD, EE, HH, KK, MM, NN, RR, TT, UU, VV, XX, YY, ZZ.</li> <li>Eleven A-suffix blocks, with changing prefix letters while suffix letter A remained constant: BA, DA, EA, HA, KA, MA, NA, RA, TA, VA, XA.</li> </ul><p>One of each serial style might make a neat set.&nbsp; If you want, you could even throw in a star note; they all have prefix * and suffix B.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1899 $2 was printed in smaller quantities, so it only used the &quot;plain&quot; block and then single letters up to R, with no double letters needed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
