Description: Circulated - 2013 B Duplicate Star Note B 05502683 * Fancy Serial Number Rarer DC Print $1 2013 New York Duplicate Serial Number Mistake 2020-12-31 CollectingTLDRSerial numbers are supposed to be unique. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing accidentally printed duplicate serial numbers for some $1 2013 star notes. The range of serial numbers that were duplicated are as follows:B 0000 0001 * - B 0025 0000 *B 0320 0001 * - B 0640 0000 *B 0640 0001 * - B 0960 0000 *If you want to check if someone has a match, you can download the most recent version of the spreadsheet here: October 2021 spreadsheet.First Some BackgroundWhere is paper money printed?It is a common (but incorrect) assumption that the federal reserve bank of the note is also where it is printed. Paper money in the United States is actually printed in two locations - Washington DC and Fort Worth, TX. Notes are then sent to any of the 12 federal reserve banks, then distributed into circulation through places like banks.Serial numbersUnder normal circumstances each serial number + series + denomination is unique - only used a single time.What happened?In late 2014, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (Washington DC facility) printed three star note runs for the New York "B" district. Nothing special about it. They printed these serial number ranges:Printed in Washington DCB 0000 0001 * - B 0025 0000 * (October 2014)B 0320 0001 * - B 0640 0000 * (November 2014)B 0640 0001 * - B 0960 0000 * (November 2014)A year and a half later, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (this time the Fort Worth facility) printed three more star note runs for the New York "B" district. They printed these serial number ranges:Printed In Fort WorthB 0000 0001 * - B 0320 0000 * (June 2016)B 0320 0001 * - B 0640 0000 * (June 2016)B 0640 0001 * - B 0960 0000 * (July 2016)As you can see, there are a lot of overlapping numbers. This is never supposed to happen, and why you might've seen a message like Multiple Matching Runs Found in your Star Note Lookup results.
