A third one of these ghost $5 notes has been reported to me. I find the numbering of these 3 notes to be strange and perhaps a new system. If you look at the last 3 numbers, 221, and the severity of the error, I would think that these were only one sheet.
Numbers are......
AOB6675221
AOB6725221
AOB7350221
Discussion anyone???

Hello Tom:
I was just wondering if you found out anything regarding the numbering of these notes?
Was there only "One " Sheet? :-/
Anymore reports of other notes, or still just the 3?
As you know, i am very interested in this note. ;)

I posted those number to see if anyone out there knew anything on the numbering of these Journey notes. I still would say they are from the same sheet by the last numbers "221".

Brent was showing me a program (I guess you would call it that?) but anyway you enter a number and it tells you where it would have been located on that sheet.
I found it very interesting,I guess using that you could enter missing circle variety serial #'s and many other uses as well.

Re: the sheet drawing script I made
Disclaimer: It is currently only relevant to the 4x10 or 5x8 formats where the sheets are skip-numbered by 500. That format has (I believe) been retired in favour of 36/on or even 45/on formats (for the 45/on, it's mentioned somewhere in the Bank's website).
Now with these notes, the only single-sheet explanation I can come up with is the following:
6500221 | 6525221 | 6550221 | 6575221 |
6600221 | 6625221 | 6650221 | 6675221 |
6700221 | 6725221 | 6750221 | 6775221 |
6800221 | 6825221 | 6850221 | 6875221 |
6900221 | 6925221 | 6950221 | 6975221 |
7000221 | 7025221 | 7050221 | 7075221 |
7100221 | 7125221 | 7150221 | 7175221 |
7200221 | 7225221 | 7250221 | 7275221 |
7300221 | 7325221 | 7350221 | 7375221 |
7400221 | 7425221 | 7450221 | 7475221 |
Of course, pick your favourite either 4x10 or 5x8, it doesn't matter...
Notice that this theoretical sheet is skip-numbered in blocks of 25,000. Now that would effectively stack 25, twenty-five, bricks of 1,000 notes on top of each other. This is a MASSIVE pile, and would represent one million banknotes. I would think that cutting such a pile would be impossible without a huge margin of error. Further, the numbering doesn't make sense because starting at 0000000, you would be printing piles of 1,000,000 notes. The numbering shouldn't start at an odd increment of 500,000.
However, this is the only way I can rationalize all three notes being on one sheet.
