Frank There are some forum members and some lurkers who do not know what a block number is would you like to explain it or I can post the information.
I like to give the newer members a chance to post.

Ok, I posted part of this recently. If you look at a $1 bill you will notice to the left of the portrait the Federal Reserve Seal, within the seal you there will be an A through an L which stands for one of the 12 federal reserve banks. Torward each of the 4 corners you will notice the federal reserve number which also stands for the same bank as the seal. So if there were an F which stands for Atlanta in the seal there would also be a 6 toward each corner. I you look at the serial number you will notice that it starts with the letter which is the same as appears in the seal. The last letter designates the block therefore a serial number like F65331512K is said to be of the FK block. Therefore block letters are the letters at the start and finish of the serial numbers. When looking at the current higher denominations the federal reserve district is designated by the second letter in the serial number, there a $10 note with a serial number of CB75394330B is from the B(New York ) District. You will also see a B2 on the left that represents the New York District. Further the first letter designates a series, the C in this case designates the series 2001. And finally this particular note would be the BB block. Hope this clears it up for you. If you have CU (crisp and uncirculated) notes I'm always looking to add notes to my collection through trades.

Frank, Thanks very much for that explanation. My grandfather has a note pricing guide which I have tried to use several times unsuccessfully. The guide contained no explanation of how to use said guide and I couldn't for the life of me figure out which letter I was supposed to match up to the book.

Frank, if you are still looking for CU new 5 dollar bills, send me an email. I have a stack of $500 CU all sequential.

I got one the other day but I don't like the purple five....Purple and green just don't go together! I think almost any other color would have looked better.
