Maybe they should just send the plates to N. korea. They seem to print better $100's than the US.

Sounds like there will be a lot of new star notes!
10% of the total run need to be replaced.

I wish they'd make some cent errors for us Smile

I agree, Ed, but I think it is more a case of the right church, wrong pew. I gave up on the Zincolns, IHC's, and went to the Victorian, large cents. There is a wide open field there, and the bad part is that there is not too much reference material available.
The 2011 Charlton's catalogue has a whole new section covering the Victorian cents.
To give you an idea, there are over 400 varieties in the 1859, alone. Begin with the 1858, and move forward to 1901,,and you will have your hands full! There are a couple sites that give a lot of info, on the different re-punched digits, and letters.
