[QUOTE="ikandiggit, post: 1354541, member: 16269"]My OCD doesn't reach into the record keeping area. It's more like selective OCD:). As for the stats, I leave that to others to work on. There are a few members on one of my other forums that does all the recording of information which includes other notes like replacement notes and changeover notes, which I have no interest in since those notes are usually found by stack searchers who hunt through new bricks. I check the auctions and some of the currency sites to see what other error notes have been found and keep track of those denominations, prefixes and type of errors. When I search through my stacks, I usually have a limited amount of time because I'm getting the cash ready for the bank deposit. I've trained myself to scan the notes very quickly. For the mismatched serial numbers, I no longer look at each individual digit of each serial number. Instead, I am looking at the shape of the entire serial number.
