Steve Mnuchin And The New Dollar Bills

The note numbers are what I didn't understand [I confess, I'm mostly a coin guy ). I thought that the numbers would be consecutive, so that 00002893 would be below 00002888 on a sheet that's 5 wide. Or if they went vertically, then it would be 00002888 over 00002898. So, it's matrix numbering? Is the 100 shift normal on all sheets or is this something you only see on * (star note) sheets?

I've received banded, uncirculated note from the bank that had consecutive serial numbers. How do they pull that off?

I definitely need some schooling here..!

Thanks, Dog. I'll add that to my sub-folder. I think if I was an engineer I could visualize how the sheets are shuffled to give the desired result. I have seen it done on TV but the pace was so fast I couldn't really see the whole process.

So, I'm off to do something useful and will get to that website tonight.

Question #1 on the BEP superintendent's job interview: which would you print first?

Ok- Who is Old School- I remember the times where I used to get Bundles of a $1000.00 New Notes and inserted was a Few Star notes in the Sequence with numbers as 2 in the last few Bills and as much as 5.

Coinfrog,

I think he's just saying that when he used to get bundles of 1000 new $1 bills that he would always find a few star notes, from 2 to 5, in the bundle.

I really didn't see a question. I guess he's wondering if anyone else had similar experiences.

I think he's saying that in the past he never received a bundle of bills that didn't have at least a few error notes replaced by star notes. I guess it relates to your question about whether or not a BEP director should have enough confidence in the BEP process to print star sheets before printing the regular sheets.
