<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andyscouse, post: 988244, member: 27100&quot;]Issuing authorities (bills tend to have both letter &amp; number printed directly under the &quot;AB&quot; part of the top-left serial #):</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul> <li><b>A1</b>: Boston, MA</li> <li><b>B2</b>: New York, NY</li> <li><b>C3</b>: Philadelphia, PA</li> <li><b>D4</b>: Cleveland, OH</li> <li><b>E5</b>: Richmond, VA</li> <li><b>F6</b>: Atlanta, GA</li> </ul><p> <ul> <li><b>G7</b>: Chicago, IL</li> <li><b>H8</b>: St. Louis, MO</li> <li><b>I9</b>: Minneapolis, MN</li> <li><b>J10</b>: Kansas City, MO</li> <li><b>K11</b>: Dallas, TX</li> <li><b>L12</b>: San Francisco, CA</li> </ul><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Taken from <a href="http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/note.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.uspapermoney.info/general/note.html" rel="nofollow">this site</a>, a good resource for US Paper Money.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The series letters are:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A 1996</p><p>B 1999</p><p>C 2001</p><p>D 2003</p><p>E 2004</p><p>F 2003A</p><p>G 2004A</p><p>H 2006 (some $5, all $100)</p><p>I 2006 (some $5, all $10, all $20, all $50)</p><p>J 2009</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Much more info on serial number combinations contained at <a href="http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/" rel="nofollow">this website</a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The C is simply a suffix letter.&nbsp; For each AB combination, the 12345678 C part is numerically incremented from 000000001 A upwards.&nbsp; Once a maximum is reached (not 99999999 as you&#039;d expect, but 96000000 for these series, from 1996), the counter goes back to 00000001 and the next suffix letter.&nbsp; So, as an example, take the 2009 series $20 bill ... the first letter = J (for series 2009), let&#039;s go with New York (B):</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>JB 00000001 A thru JB 96000000 A then ...</p><p>JB 00000001 B thru JB 96000000 B ... then C, D, etc.&nbsp; Note that neither O or Z are used.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Replacement notes (to replace those printed incorrectly or similar) use * as their suffix.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hope that helps![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
