[QUOTE="Numbers, post: 436331, member: 11668"]If that's the kind of information you're looking for, then: The ultimate book in this direction is Chuck O'Donnell's [I]Standard Handbook of Modern United States Paper Money[/I]. Unfortunately there hasn't been an edition published since 1982, but it might be worth tracking down an old copy just to have the data on the older series. Somebody *really* needs to convince Krause Publications to update this book! The best modern equivalent is probably Schwartz and Lindquist's [I]Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S. Paper Money[/I]. It's basically O'Donnell with a lot of the fiddly details left out to make the size of the book manageable. And it's still updated every couple of years or so.
