<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Smaugy, post: 449499, member: 13406&quot;]Nope this would mean that this note is from the New York Bank District, the H at the end part of&nbsp; what is called the serial block.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is some info from my book that I have here: &quot;On Federal Reserve notes, the prefix letter is always the same as the bank letter&quot;.&nbsp; So for New York notes the prefix on the serial number would always be a B.&nbsp; The suffix letter cycles through the alphabet as notes are produced -- therefore generating serial number blocks like BxxxxxxxxA, BxxxxxxxxB, BxxxxxxxxC right through BxxxxxxxxZ, always skipping the letter O - which is never used as a prefix or suffix.</p><p><br /></p><p>For any other type of notes (non-FRN notes) numbering always begins with the AA block, but after the first 100 millons notes the first letter that changes is the prefix.&nbsp; This repeats until the until the ZA block is used up (100 million notes), then the prefix changes to B and the suffix starts out again at A.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps, the book I got this from is &quot;Standard Guide to Small-Sized US Paper Money - 1928 to Date, 8th Edition&quot; by Schwartz and Lindquist.</p><p><br /></p><p>Smaugy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
