One goal that is definitely attainable with effort that I have for 2016 is to collect $1 FRNs of uncommon blocks. Examples include B-P to B-Y (that FRB did not max out since series 1995) and blocks that would make common sounding acronyms (like D-J, D-K, D-Q, G-W, I-I, and several J series blocks) Most of those bills exist in the 1995 series, although finding Chicago notes that go far back (I have a 1988A G-Y bill) might be harder since they haven't gone that far since 1995. Is anyone else doing this where they're trying to find uncommon block letter combinations through bill searching?

I'm not but like BStrauss3 said, if it floats your boat, why not?

While I may not do it, I'd certainly appreciate it and would enjoy photos.

If anyone wants a real challenge, try obtaining a set of 3 $1.00 Notes from the 1988A Series, that to my knowledge is the only series to print 4 Blocks in 3 different Varieties..

The Blocks are;

F-N = D.C. Web - 3 Runs, D.C. Sheet - 10 Runs & F/W Sheet - 2 Runs
F-U = D.C. Web - 3 Runs, D.C. Sheet - 4 Runs & F/W Sheet - 8 Runs
G-P = D.C. Web - 2 Runs, D.C. Sheet - 7 Runs & F/W Sheet - 6 Runs
G-Q = D.C. Web - 1 Run,,, D.C. Sheet - 7 Runs & F/W Sheet - 7 Runs
