(I just found a couple sheets on Heritage that sold for WAY less without the folders.) About the serial numbering, an example I found had the serials increase by 17,000 every note on the 4-subject sheets. $2 bills are printed in 32-subject sheets. So this tells me that the print run was of 32 x 17,000 = 544,000 notes. They are printed like this for the ease of cutting and dividing sequential notes into straps. If a note in one sheet has a serial # 45909000, the same position in the next sheet printed will have serial # 45909001, and so on, the same for all 32 subjects on the sheet. Thus, to have a strap of 100 notes, all that would have to be done is stack 100 printed sheets on top of each other and cut the sheet into its 32 different subjects. The result would actually be 32 straps of 100 notes each. (This is a major simplification of the process, mostly because I just learned how horrible I am at explaining things :arghh: ).[/QUOTE]
