For some reason this $1 bill seemed wrong to me, so I did some looking online.

It is a 2006 series, and the serial number is F34735823S.
I found this list of serial numbers, but this number doesn't seem to fit.
http://www.uspapermoney.info/serials/f2006_s.html

From that list it looks like the only bills starting with F and ending with S should be between 06400000 and 31999999.
Am I reading that correctly?

Not quite.

During that printing month (Jan 2010), they printed:
F06400001S through F96000000S
and
F00000001T through F32000000T

You can see that on the bottom line where it shows FT block as the ending block.
It just takes a little getting used to the chart, that is all.

So after bill F96000000S, the next serial number is F00000001T?

What that chart says then is they started at F06400001S, and continued printing all the S block bills until the numbers ran out then automatically transitioned over to T block because that's the normal order, and continued up through F32000000T. Right?

The only time any numbers are used above 96000000 on $1 is when they print sheets for sale to the public.

What I stated in my first post is correct. No F96000001S through F99999999S were printed.

Hope that helps.

To further explain the print runs for 2006.
They used 32 note sheets. 200,000 sheets per RUN (pallet I believe). There are 15 RUNs per block.
So, 32 times 200,000 = 6,400,000 notes, that times 15 RUNs = 96,000,000 total notes block.
