Got all these CU $10 from Meijer U scan at one time and want to be sure they are not worth more than face. My newest book only goes to 2003 IC 33115587 A 2006 C3-FWF10 IG 00983947 A 2006 G7-FWE33 IG 00991280 A 2006 G7-FWE33 IG 00991281 A 2006 G7-FWE30 IG 00991060 A 2006 G7-FWE29 \ IG 00991061 A 2006 G7-FWE34 Wonder why the # after E not in order IG 00991062 A 2006 G7-FWE33 / Thanks!
I wish I could be of some help, but I really do not know much about paper money. Although I do find Star notes appealing. Thanks
My book only goes up to the 2004A series, but by looking at the serials...I'd have to say none are worth more than face. I could be wrong, but nothing really jumps out when I compare them to this table: http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/f2006_d.html
Ok, thanks. I'll do some research. Can anyone tell me about the numbers commented on in the last 3 notes. Why are they not in order? Thanks
I'm not exactly sure as I'm not an expert with all the slight details with paper money (I've only been collecting paper a little more than a year). But, the fact that it says "FW" indicates that these notes were printed at Fort Worth. As far as the numbers next to them, they could be plate numbers or something to that affect. My guess would be that those numbers correspond to the plates they used to make the bills with and that the plates are stacked in a different direction than the serials are printed. So, the serials will be in sequence in one direction and the plates in sequence in another on an uncut sheet. But, that's just a guess.
Thanks CamaroDMD. I was thinking the same, but being over optimistic. I'll probably hold them until/if I need to use em.
As Camaro said, they're the printing plate numbers. The BEP's current generation of presses use four plates in rotation, so if you'd gotten more of these consecutive bills, you'd've seen those numbers keep cycling 29, 34, 33, 30, 29, 34, 33, 30, ... and so on. It's pretty random just which four plates happen to end up on a press; every now and then you'll see one number that's way out of line with the other three, just because that's the plate that happened to be handy that day. Back in the old days, they had single-plate presses, so a stack of consecutive bills would've all had the same plate number. And I've read that the new super presses the BEP is currently installing and testing will use three plates, so before too long we'll be seeing cycles of three plate numbers instead of four....
