Until about 1. 91. BEP would actually print a replacement note with the same serial. To speed up the process, star notes were introduced. The BEP first prints a small. The serial number on a star.

It should be mentioned that a few series of large size notes can be. Rather, the solid star is one of many different characters. More technical considerations. Until 1. 95. 2, nearly all U.

However, the process of cutting the sheets apart so that. To increase efficiency, the BEP when upgrading from 1. In this method. notes with sequential serial numbers actually come from different sheets. The numbers. are placed so that when a hundred freshly serialled sheets are stacked, the pile can. The serial numbers of the notes on a single sheet. The exact details of the skip numbering have varied over the decades, as the number. However, two basic systems have been used. For all 1. 8 subject sheets. COPE 1. 97. 1 present, the skip between serials on each sheet is. In contrast, for 3. LEPE 2. 01. 2 present, and all 5. So effectively, LEPE prints each. Dalet Software. The result is that there is a mathematical relationship between each notes serial. Still, for those who know the code, checking a notes. As an example, from about 1. BEP has printed 2 through 2. COPE print runs of 2. Each such print run is assigned a range of. The notes on any given sheet have serial. For example, the first print run will receive. The first sheet of the run will have. Note in practice, the sheets. Thus the first sheet. The numbers on each sheet are arranged in a somewhat complicated pattern. For the first sheet of the run above, the plate positions and serial numbers. A1. 00. 00. 00. 01. E1. 00. 80. 00. 01. A3. 03. 20. 00. 01. E3. 04. 00. 00. 01. B1. 00. 20. 00. 01. F1. 01. 00. 00. 01.

The simplest way to summarise this is to note that the sheet is divided into four. The. plate position codes have a number for the quadrant and a letter for the position. These codes are actually printed on the notes they appear in. As a result, serial numbers 0. A1, numbers 0. 02. B1, and so on to. H4. Then the cycle of position codes. When fifteen press runs are. The sixteenth run then begins. Since the number 0. A similar principle applies to the higher denomination notes, the 5. These are printed in smaller runs, of. The serial numbers on each sheet follow the same pattern described. The first print run thus receives serial numbers 0. Thirty one of these runs bring the. As a result, serial numbers 0. A1. numbers 0. 01. B1, and so on. Maximum serial numbers. As just mentioned, all notes currently printed for circulation have serial numbers. However, these maximum. On the large size notes, before 1.
