the BEP printed 5,000 sheets (160K) of the 2017A $50 replacement notes. Question: What does it mean when the BEP reports production numbers in ''quantity of sheets'' and not in ''quantity of notes,'' which seems to be the ''normal'' way  |

Question:
What does it mean when the BEP reports production numbers in ''quantity of sheets'' and not in ''quantity of notes,'' which seems to be the ''normal'' way Good question. Notes listed under "quantity of sheets" are replacement sheets used to replace defective or specific sheets in the printing process. These are usually short runs and not distributed in full packs. These are the harder to find star notes which are typically found in pairs in a pack of non-star notes. Notes listed as "quantity of notes" are large-run replacement notes distributed in packs of 100. These are much easier to find in circulation and are used to replace defective packs of non star notes. Edited by SteveInTampa

Yes, thank you indeed. This is great and does appear to be an ink change as you mentioned.  |

Obviously, we in the Great American Public are a stakeholder in our currency and this BEP report acknowledges that. Emphasis added: Quote:
Due to security concerns, exactly what was changed is not being identified to the public. [...] Discretionary series changes are used to mark certain materials or process changes as a means to allow U.S. Currency Program stakeholders Just sayin'... |

Thanks - I'm learning a lot! If it's just a seemingly unnecessary change in the ink, then the question is: who is profiting from the ink change? Did a bid go to an ink manufacturer who happens to be a Secretary of the Treasury crony? That seems to be the M.O. of this administration: diverting funds to friends. |

I am brand spanking new here, so please be gentle...I found 2 twenty dollar bills with an A after the date. I've never seen this before so Google to the rescue and here I am. I basically want to know if these are something to hold on to, could become valuable one day for my kids or grandkids, or are they not that big of a deal? One is a 2017a and the other is 2004a but other than that I don't know identifying mint marks or numbers or any of that. I tend to hold on to $2 bills and star notes, silver certificates and 'old' money in general. Any advice is welcome.  And I just noticed after posting this, that I have a 2017a $100 bill!

Welcome to CCF froggy. Many series have a suffix letter. The 1935 $1 Silver Certificates go all the up to 1935G. Early $1 FRNs went up to the letter D, so notes having an A suffix is normal...no big deal.

Thanks! Good to know, it would be hard to hold off spending those right now with the pandemic unemployment situation!

I believe over at uspapermoney.info they stated the change was due to reformulated inks.
