<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 372424, member: 11668&quot;]Unfortunately it&#039;s more complicated than that....</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1981 the high serial printed for circulation was still 99840000, and the uncut sheets used serials higher than that number.&nbsp; In 1983 the maximum serial printed for circulation dropped to 99200000.&nbsp; Around 1990 it dropped again to 96000000, but only for denominations of $20 and lower; the $50 and $100 still go up to 99200000.</p><p><br /></p><p>All the uncut sheets of $1&#039;s in Series 1981 and 1981A used serials 99840001 and higher.&nbsp; Through Series 1988A, the lowest numbers used on sheets were still in the 996xxxxx range.&nbsp; Beginning with Series 1993, the sheets commonly have numbers starting at 99200001.&nbsp; The 1976 $2 non-star sheets were actually printed in the early &#039;90s, and most of them also have serials 99200001 and higher, but some in the I..A block actually have 98xxxxxx serials.&nbsp; The 1995 $2 sheets in the F..B block were the first to use serials all the way down to 96000001.&nbsp; Since then, most non-star sheet printings have continued to carry serials in the 99-million range, but serials beginning with 98, 97, or 96 have been used a few more times too.&nbsp; The recently introduced $50 sheets, of course, stick to serials above 99200000, to avoid duplicating the circulation-printed notes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there are the exceptions.&nbsp; The big one is star-note sheets: these have never used the high serial numbers, but are instead numbered in sequence with the star-note production for circulation, meaning their serials are usually on the low side.&nbsp; There are also a small number of 1995 $5 sheets with serials 8888xxxx instead of the traditional high numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>There now, wasn&#039;t that more than you wanted to know?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
