oh hmmm. So maybe the way that sheet runs in unison with following sheets, they end up in bricks side by side... I suppose that makes sense. I honestly don't know enough about the BEP's process on making notes.

Neither do I.  But I thought I had remembered reading it, so I went did a search and found this post by Zeewool.  Quote:
Beginning with the production of the 18 note sheets, a new numbering scheme was implemented; the second note printed would now receive a serial number 8000 higher than the previous note. This pattern continued throughout the sheet so that the 18th note on the sheet would have a serial number that would be 136,000 higher than the first note on the same sheet...
Many sheets are printed simultaneously. A complicated stacking process followed (but very basically put), this was done so that as the sheets are stacked, the entire stack of sheets can be cut and the individual notes in each stack will be in numerical order.
Within the next ten years, the notes per sheet had increased to 32, and the numbering scheme also changed again. Now the second note would receive a number 20,000 higher than the prior note, so the last note on the sheet would be numbered 620,000 higher than the first note on that same sheet... |

Cool pics ... I want one ... thanks jbuck
I have been to the BEP a few times ..
And your right, the bills are numbered so that the one on the sheet right under it, is the next number.
The machine that they use to cut the large stack of sheet, is .. scary sharp. The stacks are moved around by fork lift.

The more "secure" our money gets, the more Benjamins it takes to make a Benjamin.

For those wondering how the calculation works out. Even though they print 32.. When it goes for the SN its in sheets of 18... So if you want to figure out what sheet your note was printed on take the last four digits (THATS THE BASE SHEET NUMBER) * anything over 15 /16 + 1 (-The starting Block assigned). Then you can figure your starting bill and offset FYI!
1 -10001 -1 -2
20001 -30001 -3 -4
40001 -50001 -5 -6
60001 -70001 -7 -8
80001 -90001 -9 -10
100001 -110001 -11 -12
120001 -130001 -13 -14
140001 -150001 -15 -16
4 -10004 -1 -2
20004 -30004 -3 -4
40004 -50004 -5 -6
60004 -70004 -7 -8
80004 -90004 -9 -10
100004 -110004 -11 -12
120004 -130004 -13 -14
140004 -150004 -15 -16
3402 -13402 -1 -2 -6
23402 -33402 -3 -4 -26
43402 -53402 -5 -6 -46
63402 -73402 -7 -8 -66
83402 -93402 -9 -10 -86
103402 -113402 -11 -12 -106
123402 -133402 -13 -14 -126
143402 -153402 -15 -16 -146
First 4 -Multi -sheet -Last 4 -Bill Number
0 -1 -3402 -3402 -3402
1 -1 -3402 -3402 -13402
10 -1 -3402 -3402 -103402
15 -1 -3402 -3402 -153402
16 -2 -6804 -3402 -163402
23 -2 -6804 -3402 -233402
31 -2 -6804 -3402 -313402
32 -3 -10206 -3402 -323402
Quick Example BILL(00233402) SN first 4 is 23 and last four is 3402. This is Sheet 6804 (*18 bills a sheet -18) + Bill offset!
So the bill offset is 3 So ((6804 * 18)-18)+3 = 122457
122457 is the actual print number of the final bill!
If you want to get tech! 2 bills are printed at the same time so really its a twin print of 122457 / 2
If you want to get Further Tech! they run two sheets at a time and I assume that its 1 and 2 (with SN accordingly).. So 122457 / 4 would be more accurate!

...soon-to-be worthless piece of colored paper Well, not too soon to be. Although we spend a percentage of our income in cashless form (I'm sure there must be a statistic on this somewhere), I don't think the removal of paper and coin from our financial system is on the next horizon. What IS on the next horizon is another topic of discussion. The current horizon shows the need to contend with counterfeiting, and this appears to be the latest jab at that opponent. Although you an I may not deal with Bennies in our daily transactions, there are plenty of people who do, and knowing that what you're passing is not the result of someones inkjet is a good thing. I have no idea if, and/or when, we will become a "cashless society", given our continual movement forward into the technological world, but one constant in society has been the production and usage of some physical means of exchange. Nonetheless, I shall acquire one lest there be a gaping hole in my paper collection. Steve |

Maybe the Fed should look into making One Dollar bills made out of hemp, to increase durability, else release the millions of Dollar coins like they should and phase out the $1 cotton rag. I always enjoy security features (Canadian bills are cool, polymer is another story) but the comment made by Nickelman is very true. In all, it costs nothing to _make_ the bill, but it has a huge effect if you make too many. That's another topic, though. I can't wait to hold one of these bills.
