<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 1983564, member: 11668&quot;]The 2009 $1 B..* run 3 was a COPE run, so we can confirm from the plate positions that the run length of 32,000 notes (1,000 sheets) is correct.&nbsp; The BEP reported that the run was used as replacement sheets, so it should not exist in full-strap form; it should only appear mixed into regular straps (most commonly, as you say, in pairs replacing xxxx9999 and xxxx0000 serial numbers). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Whether it&#039;s going to be rare as in valuable is hard to say.&nbsp; Most of the super-pricey $1 FRN stars don&#039;t have printages *that* low; they just have poor survival rates.&nbsp; The 1988 $1 F..* had 640,000 printed; there are quite a few other $1 stars with totals as low or lower, but none of them are as tough to find today.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you just look at the quantities printed, the rarest $1 FRN star, by district, should be the 2003 D..* with 320,000 printed.&nbsp; (The 2009 H..* will equal that figure, *if* our estimate is correct and *if* no additional runs are printed.)&nbsp; By run, the rarest $1 FRN stars should be the 2009 B..* run 3 and the 1981 H..* run 3, both at 32,000 notes (the latter having serials H01299001* to H01920000* with internal gaps, as was common back then).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Across all denominations, the rarest modern FRN star by either district or run should be the 1981 $5 A..*, where the only run printed was a ridiculous 16,000 notes--though as far as I know, none are known, and I think some of the books have de-listed them.&nbsp; (Various non-circulation-issue printings are even smaller, like the 2004A $10 GF..* and the 1995 $2 Millennium stars, but those are different animals entirely.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
