I assume that for security reasons, it is a font that nobody else uses. For example, I have never seen a '6' or '9' printed anywhere else in the style used in FRN serial numbers. -- ___________________________________________ ____ _______________ Regards, | |\ ____ | | | | |\ Michael G.

The first is distinct from the others, and was used on series 1928,1929,1933, and 1934. The second and third are nearly identical. They are used on all series 1935 and later. The third was introduced when the use of the COPE machines began during the 1970s. This link explains it in more detail; cohttp://www.uspapermoney.info/general/pe.htm |
