<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 3517383, member: 11668&quot;]In addition to what others have said....</p><p><br /></p><p>Comparing the Barr notes to the web notes really highlights the difference that hoarding makes.&nbsp; The printage totals for the two aren&#039;t all that different (~450 million Barrs, ~300 million webs).&nbsp; But the Barr notes were released at a time when currency collecting was popular, and were widely known to be &quot;rare&quot; and &quot;valuable&quot;, and so huge quantities of them were saved, and they&#039;re still coming out of sock drawers to this day.&nbsp; In contrast, the web notes were issued without much fanfare at a time when far fewer collectors were active, so a significantly higher fraction of them circulated to oblivion.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen a number of Barrs in circulation since the last time I saw a web note in circulation, despite the fact that the Barr notes are twenty-odd years older.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
