<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 1253862, member: 6986&quot;]No.&nbsp; If what the original post I was responding to was true, there would never be a star note with the serial number CE00000001* unless there was a defect in the note with the serial number CE00000001.&nbsp; The original post indicated that star notes have the same serial number as the notes they replace except for the star at the end of the serial number.&nbsp; This is not true.&nbsp; There will always be a #1 star for every star series printed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Defective notes are replaced with a star note with a serial number completely unrelated to the note that is being replaced.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the BEP starts a print run, the first notes printed are the star notes.&nbsp; The numbers on the star notes will start with 00000001* or whatever the next number for that series would be.&nbsp; (If a print run of 640,000 star notes had already been printed and used, the numbering for the star series will begin at 00640001.)&nbsp; Then the notes with the regular serial number are printed.&nbsp; The sheets with defective notes that are discovered after the serial numbers are applied are replaced with a complete sheet of star notes (even if only one note on the sheet is defective.)&nbsp; The star sheet is placed in the stack of uncut sheets and the notes are cut.&nbsp; (If defects are discovered on sheets prior to the serial numbers being applied, the sheet with the defective note is replaced by a sheet without serial numbers and will receive a regular serial number not a star.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
