<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 2947145, member: 11668&quot;]It isn&#039;t done on purpose, but the BEP messed up.&nbsp; It looks like the DC and Fort Worth facilities weren&#039;t communicating very well, and so they both printed B..* notes in the same serial range.&nbsp; DC printed a partial run 00000001-00250000 and then two full runs 03200001-09600000.&nbsp; FW printed three full runs, 00000001-09600000 (and then later a couple more full runs, up to 16000000).&nbsp; So there are a total of 6,650,000 duplicated serial numbers.&nbsp; Notes from all six of the duplicate runs (three DC and three FW) have been seen in circulation.&nbsp; I&#039;m not aware of anyone actually matching up a pair of duplicates; it&#039;d be awesome if someone could pull it off.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similar duplications have happened a few times before.&nbsp; As far as I know, every instance has affected either star notes or uncut-sheet notes; it seems that the record-keeping may be a little less careful there than it is in the regular production print runs.&nbsp; There are duplications in the 1995 $1 B..* and F..*, the 1999 $5 BE..*, the 1988A $1 C..B and K..A uncut sheets, and the 1995 $1 B..A uncut sheets.&nbsp; (Did I miss any?)</p><p><br /></p><p>The OP&#039;s notes, though, are FW notes that *don&#039;t* fall into the DC serial range.&nbsp; So there are no DC duplicates of those particular notes floating around out there.&nbsp; But Furryfrog&#039;s DC note may well have a FW counterpart somewhere--good luck tracking it down!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
