What is a Date Note, and why are they so rare and valuable in today's changing currency landscape?
A Date Note is a unique form of currency where the 8-digit serial number precisely spells out a date in the 2-digit month, two-digit day, and 4-digit year format. The rarity of finding a specific serial number is extraordinary, with odds as slim as 1 in 100 million. To put this rarity into perspective, it's akin to finding a needle in a haystack or capturing a winning lottery ticket.
This exceptional rarity has recently been amplified due to a significant shift in United States paper currency production. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing's Capital Investment Plan for the 2023 fiscal year includes the acquisition of new machinery, the NS LEPE (Non-sequential Large Examining and Printing Equipment). This advanced equipment can print larger sheets of currency notes, but it operates differently. Historically, US currency was produced with sequential serial numbers, making it easier for collectors to find specific dates. However, the NS LEPE equipment breaks from this tradition, resulting in nonconsecutive sequencing of currency straps. Moreover, this new machinery will not produce star notes, which collectors use to find Date Notes.
The consequence of this shift is that future serial number patterns in currency straps may contain gaps and will no longer follow consecutive sequences, making it increasingly challenging to find specific date sequences on newly printed notes.
To delve deeper into this evolving currency landscape and its impact on Date Note rarity and value, we encourage you to read our detailed article on our website (Revolution in U.S. Banknote Printing: A New Challenge for Date Note Collectors). This article provides valuable insights into the changing dynamics of US currency production and its implications for Date Note collectors.
