Title: What is meant by a brick?
Post by: friedsquid on March 19, 2007, 07:59:32 pm

I have been reading a lot of the old posts just to get familair with the site and have noticed the term brick used often.  I know a bundle consists of 100 notes. (or so I believe) so what is a brick?

Welcome to the forum, You are correct a bundle is 100 notes and a brick is 1000 notes.

So is a brick just ten bundles or is a brick actually packed in a 1000 note bundle.
Would  a brick normally be  consecutively numbered whereas 10 bundles may not be?

A brick consists of 1000 notes that begin usually at for example 3456000-3456999/.  CBN used to shuffle their bricks so that not always happened in this consistant run.  BABN usually does have them in  consecutive.  Hope this helps.

Yes, Polarbear is correct. Usually it is a sealed package of 10 Bricks. BABN used to put 1000 notes together that were strapped but I have only seen a package of bundles.
