Back in the good old days, as we remember them looking back from today, there was one special place where star notes and error notes could always be found. None other than the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) in Washington D.C. where all those errors, star notes, radars, repeaters, solids, and low serial numbers on large-size currency originated. Here are a pair of postcards copyright 1904, showing trusted folks looking for those errors. Don't you want to take out the trash cans at the end of this day from this place? Notice the foot high stack on the chair. So what uncut sheets of which notes would they be looking at this day in 1904?

Very interesting, Pistareen. Thanks for posting.

I wonder how many collectors/"businessmen" tried to get a job there and smuggle out some errors.

Post cards with a copyright date of 1904 should now be in the public domain. I don't mind but you might check with the CCF as the images now appear on their website.
