<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 844641, member: 11668&quot;]It&#039;s only the back plate number that&#039;s ever been larger on the FW notes--the face plate numbers are the same size at both FW and DC.&nbsp; (Well, except for those new SOI-press $20&#039;s that DC&#039;s been printing for a year and a half....)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And, yes, the division of labor between DC and FW has been odd lately--<i>all</i> $1&#039;s have been printed at FW for the past nine months, and so you can find Series 2006 $1&#039;s on <i>all twelve districts</i> with the FW mark, which is certainly a departure from past practices.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The explanation most likely includes (a) the unusual mix of denominations that the BEP&#039;s been printing lately, with exceptionally high demand for $100&#039;s, and with no $10&#039;s or $50&#039;s printed for some time due to earlier stockpiling of those notes; and (b) production constraints resulting from the ongoing changeover to SOI presses--the total production capacity at either FW or DC is periodically lower than normal, when an old press has been taken out and its SOI replacement is still being shaken down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
