Can you imagine the odds against finding notes that have been out in the world for years and finding an exact matching serial number? The average lifespan of a $1.00 note is 5.8 years, how many have already been pulled from circulation? Thanks to some very dedicated collectors out there, a project has been started to try and find these notes, and MATCH them together with their duplicated counterpart. Now, all these notes are out in the world somewhere.

In June and July 2016, the FW printing facility received authorization and printed New York Star Notes with serial numbers B00000001*-B06400000*, and B06400001*-B09600000*, they went into circulation. In October and November 2014, the DC printing facility received authorization and printed New York Star Notes with serial numbers B00000001*-B00250000*, and B03200001*-B09600000*, they went out into circulation. Once printed, the notes are sent to the designated FRB for distribution. The BEP issues Serial Numbers for Notes to be printed by the Washington DC and the Fort Worth printing facilities, for all 12 of the Federal Reserve Banks. A couple of their articles are attached to give detail as to what actually happened, and how some astute collectors noticed an anomaly, and thru the use of a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request, were able to officially find a major Error of the BEP, thus creating a collectors opportunity.
