<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 869233, member: 11668&quot;]That&#039;s true for the small-size mules in the 1934 series.&nbsp; The note under discussion here is a large-size mule.&nbsp; For those, it&#039;s not the size of the plate number that was changed, but rather the location of the plate number.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mules aren&#039;t errors, because the BEP printed them on purpose.&nbsp; What happened was that the BEP made some change to the plate manufacturing process (standardizing the plate number location, or increasing the plate number size), and so for a while they had both old plates and new plates in use.&nbsp; So some notes ended up being printed from an old-style back plate and a new-style face plate (or vice versa); those are mules.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In some series and denominations, mules are rare.&nbsp; In others, <i>non</i>-mules are rare.&nbsp; Usually, both are fairly common.&nbsp; I have no idea which category the 1899 $2 SC falls into.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
