Message:: [QUOTE="Numbers, post: 1534484, member: 11668"]Yes, there's still a bias in favor of shipping notes to the "correct" district when that happens to be convenient.  That's especially true for the big districts (B, F, L), since their notes are in production a large fraction of the time. Also, most of the time, the BEP facility at Washington prints notes for the eastern districts, and the BEP facility at Fort Worth prints notes for the western districts.  So if you live on the west coast, then you'll get a lot of L and a bit of GHIJK, and you won't often get ABCDE since they're generally printed at the other end of the country.  Vice versa if you live on the east coast. (But recently the BEP's production schedule has been wonky because they're busy stockpiling new $100's and such, and as a result Fort Worth has been printing nearly all of the $1's for quite a few months now.  So even on the west coast, you might see more $1's from eastern districts than you would've a few years ago.)[/QUOTE]
