[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 2447731, member: 75143"]This has happened several times with coins - see 1909 Indian Head Cent and 1909 Lincoln Cent. The mint (or in this case the Treasury) sometimes changes designs mid-year. In the case of paper money, it doesn't go by year, but rather by series. Notice how it went from 2003A to 2006 for 5 dollar bills, and didn't change years until 2009. So the green 2006 bills are likely from 2006 and the earlier part of the 2006-2009 series run, while the others are from a later date within the run. I always keep the green ones just because they're getting so much harder to find now.[/QUOTE]
