H23 BB00934850 * …my 0 ‘star note’


Bild von TheAlieness GiselaGiardino²³
Today I realized that I had among my savings a 0 dollar note that has no serial suffix letter…!!!

To add to the mystery it has an H23 on bottom right of Franklin! (Ha, looked like a note made for me: a galactic sign -star- and the 23! |-)…. [edit :: And the "B" preffix means it was issued by the New York Reserve Bank! I´m utterly impressed ]

Had to check online to know what was this "star" replacing the serial suffix letter about!!!

I found out that these bills are quite a rarity…

On the Bureau of Engraving and Printing website says the following:
( www.moneyfactory.gov/document.cfm/18/121 )

"Overprinting

"A letterpress overprints with black ink the Federal Reserve District seal and its corresponding number designation. It then overprints the Treasury seal and serial numbers in green ink. Two guillotine cutters slice the notes into two note units (100 sheets at a time) and finally into single stacks of one-hundred notes. The units of 100 notes are banded and packaged into "bricks" containing 40 units; each "brick" contains 4,000 notes. The bricks are distributed to one of the twelve Federal Reserve Districts, which issue the notes to local banks. If a finished note is found to be imperfect after it has been overprinted, it is replaced with a "star note". In design, star notes are exactly like the notes they replace, but they can carry an independent series of serial numbers. The star appears after the serial number in place of the suffix letter on Federal Reserve notes. The serial number of the imperfect note is not used again in the same number sequence."

Is it common to find wildcards like these daily on the US or is this a real oddity? More info on this I will appreciate. Thanks! =)

My sister, Tami, created her first webpage today. Here’s what it looks like.

Since its debut in 1996, “Tiller’s Guide to Indian Country” has been hailed as the resource for professionals working with Native Americans. This newly expanded edition has nearly doubled in size and features an unprecedented amount of information about 562 federally recognized tribes in 33 American states. Compiled by Dr. Veronica E. Velarde Tiller, Jicarilla Apache and historian, this comprehensive guide explores each tribe’s history and modern-day life, including location and land status, government and infrastructure, community services and facilities, culture and history, economic activity, and contact information with official tribal website addresses. “Tiller’s Guide to Indian Country” is a must-have reference resource and is also available in a CD-rom version. It is the only work of its kind to feature Honoring Nations from Harvard University’s Project on American Indian Economic Development. “ÝTiller” has produced a stimulating book that will be an important purchase for . . . students, government agencies, businesses, or tourists.”–”Booklist”All topics are covered, from land status through history, government, economy, and tourism.”–”Choice”"An important, one-of-a-kind contribution to the reference literature on Native Americans. Anyone studying the status of Indians today will find useful information in “Tiller’s Guide.”"–”Rettig on Reference,” H. W. Wilson Co.
