In a 1,000 note bundle from the bep there is a "bar code" tag which list the SN, fed district and some other numbers. Some of the banks I go to usually will take it out of the bep packs as part of their internal procedures. See pick below. Does anyone here collect these? Report this Post to the Staff

Nickelman Pillar of the Community United States 1397 Posts	Posted 08/05/2011 08:24 am I saved the tags from the bundles I had, but didn't know until later to save the first/last note with them. One thing I have noticed, is that the overprint on the first note in a bundle is usually smudged in some way. I don't know if this is something that is a result of the COPE-PAK handling of the bundle or not, but I suspect so. When I find a note in the wild that has the green serials messed up in some way it never shocks me to see the serial number ending in 001. I guess the point I am trying to make is that the first note is usually substandard and the End-Label set would suffer for that. Report this Post to the Staff

Ceylon62 Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 08/05/2011 6:29 pm The $2's really do not have the smudging issue. I posted it on another forum and have got some hits to take the lot off my hands including the $1's. I *think* most are aware of the smudging issue. Do you have any extra $2 san fran end labels? I usually collect them with the 3 digit bookend and in come cases pull the mini radar (if the beginning digit is zero, else it does not work) Quote: I save all of the ones that I come in touch with.

I recently moved so I things are tough to locate... but I will look around and see what I can find. Edited to add That pic I posted was from a bundle of $2 notes, so they do have the smudge issue occasionally. Edited by Nickelman 08/05/2011 6:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I wonder if it's a function of the run size as my $2's do not have that issue. Your's is from a run of 64 Mil VS mine is from a run size of 12.8 Mil. Report this Post to the Staff
