This note ends in four 0's, but is that because it is a star?  |

It's obviously counterfeit, so send it to me so I can turn it over to the FBI.  |

Why do you say it's counterfeit?

The highest I came across was something like 13 or 1400 closer to the end and tossed it back out as it was in dire condition. Why did they not invest in a decent cutter from the hobby store? Also, was the cutter at the BEP to big to carry out?  Interesting question about the stars and the ending 4 zero's. Regardless it's a binary and should hold it's own. Peace |

98 notes from the last note for a regular print block and do plan on hanging on to it until another comes along. Looks like the person who had it crushed it up before tossing it out. I have seen this sort of things done with $2's quite regularly - sort of like the roll hunter markings.   |

I have a question about high serials. I read that serials are printed high to low, so does that mean it was among the first printed for that block? And if so does that mean that the uncut sheets are the first to be printed before the circulated currency?

Missed your post - My understanding is the same as yours (high to low). As per sheets it's a special request by the BEP to treasury so not sure if it's something separate. I would think so as the BEP does there notes / packages for the collectors.
Found this last week. I have been looking for a note with 6 zero's for a while and the first I have come across.
2003 A - $2 - A 0100 0090 A - and seen quite a bit of circulation for a $2. It would have been nice to run into that strap or the one prior.
These are not that easy to find (6 of a kind).

I came across these 2 notes and contacted some folks. Per them at times BEP misses these and they end up in circulation. FWIW, these series 2009's were printed last month (8/10) and are already out and about. bvalania, the same holds true for stars, meaning they pull the SN's ending in 4 nines and 4 zero's.

Nice finds. Do you plan on keeping the last strap as a set, or possibly keeping the last 3 notes as a set, or what?

I just kept the 5 notes as only the last 2 would have a premium.
But if it ended in an even million then yes the whole strap.

All this leaves me once again wondering...
What year did the BEP start pulling those two sheets to examine (for a starting point for when 0000 should no longer be in circulation).
And
About how many do they miss and fail to pull on the average (to get an idea of the rarity).
Hmmm...

I would think late 80's - That's when the numbering system changed. As to how rarity - even millions are worth more than ladders.  When you contacted the BEP which e-mail did you use? Also if you have a persons name please forward it to me. I have been using the one from the moneyfactory web page (contact us link) Thanks |

Just found my highest serial number ever. I had a stack of one dollar notes on my desk to count about 5 inches tall and this was the top one. I stopped and looked at it for about 5 seconds expecting to suddenly see there was really a zero in front or something.  I compared it to a regular note and whom ever cut it did a really good job, the sides are straight, good corners, and it is identical in size to a note from a BEP cut sheet. |
