[QUOTE="lettow, post: 1932525, member: 6986"]No modern FRN are printed with consecutive numbers on the same sheet. Not even star notes.

Star notes are inserted as sheets prior to cutting when a defect is noted on a sheet. They are a series unto themselves and there is no attempt to replace a defective note with one with the same serial number. If they did this there would be no reason for the star in the serial number. The sole purpose of the star is to alert the first user of a new pack that there may be notes that are out of serial number sequence.
