    Duplicated FRN Serial Numbers

    My article in the March 2020 Bank Note Reporter elicited a lot of collector interest. This was about the $1 Series of 2013 FRNs where the Bureau of Engraving and Printing accidentally duplicated 6,650,000 serials in the B* block between the Washington and Fort Worth plants.

    That article profiled a team of collectors led by Ed Zegers in Maryland and Karol Winograd in Florida who organized to attempt to find a matched pair from the two printings. By the time I wrote the article, they had assembled four matched pairs.

    This was, in my opinion, an astonishing feat and it appears that many of you thought so as well.
