[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 302064, member: 8247"]So, does anyone know why the BEP chose to use separate letting for the series letter in the serial number for the old and new style notes? For example. The new, colorized style $10, $20, and $50 have a letter I for the series 2006 bills, yet the old style $5 and $100 have a letter H for the series 2006 bills. the only thing that I can possibly think of is that it is easier to set up optical recognition for the first letter in the serial number in order to pull out the old style notes for destruction regardless of whether the note is fit for recirculation. Just thinking out loud and curious if anyone has read any statements from the BEP as to why they are not using the same letter for the same series.[/QUOTE]
