<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 1327497, member: 11668&quot;]Exactly--except that it&#039;s really the other way around.&nbsp; Shortly after the BEP started using this localized fiber paper, they reworked many of the currency designs in order to create open spaces in the areas where the fibers were concentrated.&nbsp; This is why the Series 1886 Silver Certificates and Series 1890 Coin Notes were all replaced by Series 1891 versions: In each case, the main difference is a much more open back design that allows the fibers to be more easily inspected.&nbsp; (And as with most redesigns done to enhance security, the newer designs are widely considered to be less artistic than their predecessors.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
