I have seen bits here and there that they pull the first two packs if they contain serial numbers 00000001 to 00000200. True?
I recently purchased Series 2009 $5 JL00000052B and it has me wondering on it. Edited by DoubleEagle20

I have not heard that before. I collect serial #12 quite successfully.

Yes,thanks for the links. What does the BEP do with all those notes they keep from each run? John1 |

But wouldn't that just create low SN star notes? And wouldn't the BEP keep those as well? John1 |

My understanding after reading the articles is that the BEP occasionally releases low serial numbered packs, both regular and replacement, but normally they do not. There are some low serial star notes around...  |

I asked Mr Baeder from the Coin World article. He told me that the first pack of 100 from the A suffix is never released after the 2001 series. The other first pack suffixes are intermittent. Some occasionally escape, despite the best efforts of the BEP and Federal Reserve. Edited by DoubleEagle20

Some occasionally escape, despite the best efforts of the BEP and Federal Reserve. -This was common practice at the BOC (Bank of Canada). Typically most of the low # notes (under 10) were given to ambassadors, visiting government dignitaries & (of course) royalty. This occurred for many years of the early BOC 1954-1969 series I believe. Don't have a link to this but have heard it many times (so low # go for a stiff premium). Many are displayed at the BOC Money Museum. https://www.bankofcanadamuseum.ca/ |
