<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 1808359, member: 11668&quot;]Rick&#039;s information is outdated.&nbsp; There have been four runs of the 2009 $1 A..* printed so far:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Run 1 is A00000001* to A00640000*, a run of 640,000 notes. </p><p>Run 2 is A03200001* to A06400000*, a run of 3,200,000 notes.</p><p>Run 3 is A06400001* to A06720000*, a run of 320,000 notes.</p><p>Run 4 is A09600001* to A11520000*, a run of 1,920,000 notes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That adds up to the total of 6,080,000 printed.&nbsp; So your notes are from the shortest run--good find!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>More interestingly, runs 1 and 3 were printed as replacement sheets, which means they get into circulation the way your notes did--a few star notes sprinkled into straps of regular notes.&nbsp; Runs 2 and 4 were printed as replacement straps, so they&#039;ll get into circulation in the form of full straps of stars.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The runs printed as straps tend to have higher survival rates in CU condition, since they&#039;re a lot easier for tellers to spot and save for currency dealers.&nbsp; The runs printed as sheets take more more work to find (as you found out, in hunting through 1000 notes to find three stars), so a much lower percentage of them are caught while they&#039;re still uncirculated.&nbsp; Thus they tend to be more valuable in the long run, by an even greater margin than their lower printage totals would indicate.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The top note in your scan looks to have a significant corner fold, but the other two appear to be CU.&nbsp; If so, they&#039;d probably sell for a decent premium over face value (a few tens of dollars for the pair, most likely, though I haven&#039;t been following pricing lately).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
