<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 1298013, member: 11668&quot;]As everyone else is saying: great page!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m confused by the &quot;832 bills per serial number&quot; thing, though.&nbsp; There are 32 bills per *sheet* (not per run), but they don&#039;t all have the same serial number....&nbsp; Why are you multiplying the number of bills per sheet by the number of possible suffix letters?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think what you want to say is: There are 32 bills per sheet and 200,000 sheets per run, so there are 6,400,000 bills per run.&nbsp; Then there are 15 runs per block, so there are 96,000,000 bills per block.&nbsp; Then there are 24 possible block letters (no O or Z), so the BEP can print up to 2,304,000,000 bills for a given FRB before running out of serial numbers (which did happen for two FRBs in the 1995 $1&#039;s).&nbsp; Then there are 12 FRBs, so a single series could theoretically include as many as 27,648,000,000 bills (the longest ever was the 1995 $1 at 18,585,600,000, just over two-thirds of the theoretical maximum).</p><p><br /></p><p>For $50&#039;s and $100&#039;s the runs are 100,000 sheets, so the calculation changes a bit.&nbsp; And in the old days, the BEP used smaller run sizes like 40,000 or 20,000 or 8000 sheets....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
