<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blissskr, post: 2946974, member: 34882&quot;]Yeah I just read that <a href="http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/number.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/number.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/number.html</a></p><p>&#039;Until about 1910, the BEP would actually print a replacement note with the same serial number (including letters) as the defective note; however, as production levels increased, this became rather time-consuming.</p><p>To speed up the process, star notes were introduced. The BEP first prints a small quantity of notes with star serial numbers, and then uses these to replace any damaged or misprinted notes discovered during the main print run. The serial number on a star note is not related to the serial number of the defective note it replaces; indeed, a defective note may even be replaced by a star note from a different series, or (in the case of Federal Reserve Notes) from a different Federal Reserve district.&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you know what OP is referring to then? Is it simply notes with the same serial number but a different block number? Or would they would print notes with exact duplicate block &amp; serial numbers and release them into circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Actually this info <a href="http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup/1/2013/B01220030*" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup/1/2013/B01220030*" rel="nofollow">http://www.mycurrencycollection.com/reference/star-notes/lookup/1/2013/B01220030*</a> states &#039;We do not know which is correct, or if the first 250,000 serial numbers were printed twice&#039; So perhaps they would release notes with duplicate serial numbers into circulation, which seems weird and is something I had no idea that was done.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]718975[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
