<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eowyn, post: 845247, member: 24307&quot;]No, these bills didn&#039;t have a strap or a bundled around them when I first got them and probably never had a strap or a bundle around them (since they left the bank?, mint?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps I&#039;m not making my question very clear.&nbsp; Let me try it again.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that the most typical reason why bills in a sequence were missing is because those bills were either never included in a handoff or they were removed by one of the handlers.&nbsp; I get that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I however, have been trying to study and understand the concept of ruined/errored/destroyed bills that never got out of the BEP facility.&nbsp; I&#039;m trying to understand star notes and I&#039;m trying to understand how all this worked in 1928 and 1934 and how that all relates to what actually got distributed to the public.</p><p><br /></p><p>For instance, in my $5 SC example from above, could #&#039;s N84310312A, N84310313A, N84310314A, N84310315A (the missing #&#039;s) have been somehow discarded at BEP for whatever reason (and never distributed).&nbsp; If so, how would the run appear when handed to the public?</p><p><br /></p><p>I read about star replacements, but the best I can tell, damaged bills are replaced with star bills to compensate for quantity, not to actually place replacement star bills into the place in a run where the discarded bills were from.</p><p><br /></p><p>For instance, if you were handed a bundle of 100 fresh bills from the run I&#039;m referring to, would your bundle include 4 star bills (where the discarded bills would have been) or would it simply be a run of 104 serial numbers to cover the 100 bills.&nbsp; It is my understanding (and I could be mistaken) that your bundle would most likely be the 104 serial # scenario and wouldn&#039;t necessarily contain any star bills.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, what I&#039;m talking about is what would have happened in 1928-1934 rather than what actually happens today.</p><p><br /></p><p>After reading this post over, perhaps I didn&#039;t make it any more understandable after all. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
