Steve Mnuchin And The New Dollar Bills

Star note sheet. Guess I should have spelled out star rather than use an asterisk to denote star.

Secretary Mnuchin has been pretty much pilloried since his nomination and his wife has not helped his reputation out much with her antics. I have no idea whether he is qualified or not, I try to stay out of the political nonsense that is so prevalent these days but some of the stuff they have done has not sit well with many.

Had it been almost any other person than him and his wife this would have not have been such a big deal. I am pretty sure anyone whose signature appears on the dollar bill would have had a similar photo taken, I know I would have. I also would have requested a bunch of sheets as well, it would look awesome framed on my wall.

The note numbers are what I didn't understand [I confess, I'm mostly a coin guy ). I thought that the numbers would be consecutive, so that 00002893 would be below 00002888 on a sheet that's 5 wide. Or if they went vertically, then it would be 00002888 over 00002898. So, it's matrix numbering? Is the 100 shift normal on all sheets or is this something you only see on * (star note) sheets?

I've received banded, uncirculated note from the bank that had consecutive serial numbers. How do they pull that off?

I definitely need some schooling here..!

Thanks, Dog. I'll add that to my sub-folder. I think if I was an engineer I could visualize how the sheets are shuffled to give the desired result. I have seen it done on TV but the pace was so fast I couldn't really see the whole process.

So, I'm off to do something useful and will get to that website tonight.

Question #1 on the BEP superintendent's job interview: which would you print first?

Ok- Who is Old School- I remember the times where I used to get Bundles of a $1000.00 New Notes and inserted was a Few Star notes in the Sequence with numbers as 2 in the last few Bills and as much as 5.

Coinfrog,

I think he's just saying that when he used to get bundles of 1000 new $1 bills that he would always find a few star notes, from 2 to 5, in the bundle.

I really didn't see a question. I guess he's wondering if anyone else had similar experiences.

I think he's saying that in the past he never received a bundle of bills that didn't have at least a few error notes replaced by star notes. I guess it relates to your question about whether or not a BEP director should have enough confidence in the BEP process to print star sheets before printing the regular sheets.
