<p>[QUOTE="Pixl Pirate, post: 2001571, member: 71071"]I've been doing coins now for about 8 months. Figured I'd start doing bills because I wanted something new. I'm still in the buy circulated/find them myself from going through bank money. That being said, I'm wondering what exactly a "mule" not is. I read online that it was when the wrong reverse was used with an obverse, and that a "tell" for that was if the numbers on the front were a different size than those on the back. I've been going through one dollar bills today, and I've found plenty that have different sized numbers on both sides. However, they are all things like "FW B 312" and the back says "335" in a larger font. First off, what do these mean? Second, why is it that the bills with the two extra letters in front aka FW have a different size font than the font on the reverse?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
