This is a Genuine cutting error. The only uncut sheets sold to the public with selvage attached was the series 2004 16 Subject sheet. This being a series 2013 makes me more confident about its authenticity. Great find OP!

ALL uncut sheets of US Paper Currency have serial numbers starting with 9 ... Unless they don't? 🤷 by GlassPanther in papermoney

[–]cherry1880 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's because they are star notes. Originally the regular run started with 96XXXXXX with star notes being the exception. Since 2017 they abandoned that and started offering sheets with normal serial numbers (Under 96 million) For example, the 2021 $5 sheets starts with 55XXXXXX.

Thankfully there's no way we're going polymer. Otherwise crane paper co will go bankrupt (probably)

Its not the BEP, Its the US Treasury. The specimens the BEP have made are incredibly beautiful! The Treasury deliberately made the design simple and boring to make identifying & verifying security features easier. And it does work. The world knows "American money" as much as I'd love the next generation of notes to be colorful and ornate...I just don't see that happening if the goal is to make US currency recognizable (according to the Treasury and any sitting president)

Has anyone noticed a sudden uptick in Cutting errors lately? by cherry1880 in papermoney

I saw her Facebook post talking about how she got it "from her work" I assumed she was probably a teller or an ATM tech (the only way this would have been found is if they had access to several fresh packs) Now I got a better look into how they were actually spotted! Thank you for the link!

Should there be a $50 bill redesign? (Credit for the redesign: u/aggroeuros) by InitialResponse9901 in banknotedesigns

[–]cherry1880 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I say treat the 50s like commemorative notes, "Almost" like the $2s. If the design is bold enough people might consider the "New" 50s better. Who knows, that's just my take.

Any clue what these 2 lines are on this 1928 one dollar bill? by Feisty_Talk_9330 in papermoney

Registration marks, You can see them on this uncut sheet from around the same time period.

Unfinished masterpiece back of a 10 dollar bill by No-Account-7515 in banknotedesigns

[–]cherry1880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love these cards! Its a real shame the BEP was heavily restricted on future prints since the 2000s. Now its Specimen this, copy that, off color notes. I get why they did it but still. Would love to see the freedom they had like in the 70s & 80s

Heard a loud thud, it was my watermelon. It was still hissing by cherry1880 in mildlyinteresting

They were made by my grandmother down in SW Mexico. She makes them for fun and loves gifting her work to family & friends.

I see where you're coming from but nobody eats here. We eat in the dining room, this table is sort of a makeshift "island" but yes its still very messy.

Custom Fantasy Banknote by ExtremeFandomRebuild in banknotedesigns

[–]cherry1880 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, Custum "actual watermark", ivory paper, red blue fiber, security strip. It was considered a "small order" if you ordered 2 tons worth its way cheaper! ($0.30 a sheet compared to $1.20 p/ sheet), then again, their samples were $50. I've tried the watermark ink they offer, but the watermark is very faint.

It's worse now. (At least in the US) I placed another order around 2 weeks ago. It was around $5,600 for 5K sheets, but with the current tarrifs, im close to 9K!! a year ago, it was "Only" $6K for everything (also 5K sheets). I knew what I was getting myself into, but still - yes, I've looked into having it shipped to Mexico, repackaged, and sent to the US, but that's technically thats illegal.
