This run was never officially reported by the BEP. Run size is an estimate.

@SteveInTampa @masterswimmer and anyone else that can help me figure this out. The star note look up site says this run was never officially reported by the BEP. So does this mean notes from this run are counterfeit.

I am on my PC but going to add a example shortly

@eric6794 I'm going to leave this for @SteveInTampa . I must admit when I'm stumped.

Very interesting notation on that star lookup. I'm curious to hear more about this myself.

 

No, not counterfeit, just unreported. Sometimes things falls through the cracks. Some notes are printed and go unreported and some notes that are reported were never printed. It goes both ways. I have a 2013 $1 Boston replacement note and they show up on eBay all the time. The current guess is 6.4M printed in two runs.

 

Interesting that the powers that be at the mint, the treasury and even Congress aren't concerned that the exact count of currency released into circulation isn't 100% to the dollar spot on. Sounds like an audit nightmare.

 

An unreported print is not necessarily an unrecorded print.

 

The Federal Reserve tracks the amount of currency in circulation.

 

Wow that's pretty cool, and kind of scary lol.

How do they track it if it's reported but not printed?

 

In the case of the reported notes and weren’t actually printed, it took years to notice they weren’t showing up in circulation so I filed a Freedom of Information Request and the BEP admitted it was an oversight on there part.

 

The FED keeps track of the notes it receives and issues. It does not matter to the FED what the BEP reports as having been printed but not received by the FED.

 

Star note look up says run size 3.2M total 3.2M.
And when I click your link it says run size 3.2, total 6.4.
