Message:: [QUOTE="Numbers, post: 2234889, member: 11668"]No, neither of those runs was issued in pack form. These days, some runs of star notes are used as full packs, and other runs are used as replacement sheets when an error is caught before the sheets have been cut.  Both of the above runs were sheet-replacement runs, so they entered circulation one or two notes at a time, sprinkled through packs of regular notes.  That's another reason, in addition to the low printage totals, that they command fairly strong prices: nobody can just get lucky at the bank and find 100 of them at once. (By the way, the 2009 H..* run appears to have been 320,000 notes.  For some reason that run was never included in the BEP's production reports, so we don't have an official total.  But we've seen 0031xxxx serials and nothing higher, so the 320,000 figure seems pretty solid.)[/QUOTE]
