<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numbers, post: 2377824, member: 11668&quot;]Yeah, it&#039;s the way they used to number the partial star runs, before about 1995.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a full run of star notes is 100,000 sheets, but they only want to print 20,000 sheets, then they set up the run just like it was going to be a 100,000-sheet run, but they stop after printing 20,000 sheets.&nbsp; This results in gaps in the serial ranges of the run: they only use the highest 20,000 of each 100,000 serials within the run.</p><p><br /></p><p>So in the 1981A $1 K..* run, they ended up printing:</p><p><br /></p><p>K00080001* - K00100000*</p><p>K00180001* - K00200000*</p><p>K00280001* - K00300000*</p><p>K00380001* - K00400000*</p><p>K00480001* - K00500000*</p><p>&nbsp;...and so on, through...</p><p>K03180001* - K03200000*.</p><p><br /></p><p>Basically, the last five digits of the serial are always in the range 80001-00000, never 80000 or lower.</p><p><br /></p><p>After 1995, they don&#039;t generally do this sort of thing, which makes it a good bit less confusing to keep track of the serial ranges.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
