How do you now determine which region a note originated from or does the Fed not even concern themselves with that anymore? If there is a code in the serial number that identifies this, is there a website that decodes them for us? Report this Post to the Staff

wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 04/11/2012 08:41 am Yes, for the newer notes the second letter of the serial # is the branch letter. These are for the $5 and up notes. The $1 note still uses the first letter. This has a nice map of the Districts: http://www.federalreserve.gov/otherfrb.htm 1 = A 2 = B etc Also, the BEP has some nice info on the serial #s too: http://www.newmoney.gov/currency/default.htm Edited by wquinn 04/11/2012 08:42 am Report this Post to the Staff

I haven't see an update in over a year about it and nothing is found on their web site anymore. They have spent a ton of time and money into it and I don't think they even know when it'll be released. Report this Post to the Staff
