FW has most of the new equipment. DC has purchased new equipment and should be up and running sometime this year (may be even this month). This explains why a lot of the stuff lately has been printed at FW (except for $100's).
The K you see is for "Dallas" fed district. The notes printed in Dallas have "FW" in front of the "front plate numbers" (FW = Fort Worth). DC just has the front plate numbers.
As per the colorized $5's - I too have noticed this. A lot of this is ending up in ATMs (change machines at the grocery store etc) in "my area" and is tough to get them from the bank. It has nothing to do with them being printed in FW. And yes, colorized $5's have a greater published value than the older versions.
I have been researching this for a while now...
Some dealers want as much as $12 to $17 per note and you do see some deals on ebay once in a while.
