mcc New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 05/01/2021 10:48 pm Can anyone point me to a resource or explain how serial numbers are arranged on 32-note sheets? To start, I understand the arrangement pattern of serial numbers and plate positions. For example, this uncut sheet: https://i.redd.it/bdwj1ay65qpz.jpg A1 has a serial number of 98088XXX and an "increment" of 60 (thousand). Going from A1 to H1, A2 to H2 ... A4 to H4, 60,000 is added to each serial number. Here is another uncut sheet sample: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ox4A.../s-l1600.jpg. In this case the "increment" is 20,000. What I'd like help understanding is how the increment number is determined. Surely it is mathematically based on the first five digits, but how? Report this Post to the Staff

mcc New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 05/02/2021 09:44 am Thanks. That second link was one I hadn't seen yet and had the answer: Quote: For all 18-subject sheets (1952-1968), 32-subject sheets with conventional serials (1957-1979), and 32-subject sheets serialled on COPE (1971-present), the skip between serials on each sheet is equal to the number of sheets in the print run. In contrast, for 32-subject sheets serialled on LEPE (2012-present), and all 50-subject sheets (2013-present), the skip between serials on each sheet is always just 100. (So effectively, LEPE prints each run as many small 100-sheet sub-runs.) Report this Post to the Staff
