I ask because I have noticed mint marks when I cull bank rolls that are closer or farther from the date. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

In the past, the mint marks were added later. This caused the mint marks to be slightly different, including location, doubling, re-punching "D over S", and all the other issues, Report this Post to the Staff

Some are so close to the date, they appear as part of the date. Always wondered where those old Mint workers had their lunch? Report this Post to the Staff
