Almost embarrassed as I don't actively collect notes

Well, in that case you might as well send it to me in exchange for some metallic currency.

Mendo. It is an unusual thing with the NPA folders, I have collected some, because they are strict UNC notes, but some of those years do command a lower UNC value because the NPA folders are lower serials & also because there are more "known & kept" UNC notes.
On the other side of things, there are years where the NPA released folders which had black serial notes which weren't actually circulation note (i.e; 1999 only $50's & $100's were released in circulation yet the NPA folders had $5,$10,$20,$50 & $100 with red or black serials...ideally it does mean that there are extremely low numbers of 1999 $5,$10 & $20 notes, but they're all in UNC condition & not part of normal circulation.)
Some people only collect circulation notes. I think it's these people that truely pride themselves on a low serial, becuase it hasn't come from a folder & that it's occured simply by the luck of the draw.
I don't have time right now to list the years & denominations of the NPA folders, but if I get a chance sometime soon, I'll list them. I pride myself on the knowledge of notes.

I have noticed that too. I think it is because they are considered to be NCLT.

Some of them are easy to pick because they have date overprints or red serial numbers. But I think NPA realised this was making the notes less desirable so with the later ones the only way you can tell they are folder notes is the low serial number.

I consider folder notes to be the bane of collecting 90s polymer.
