Title: How do you know it's a replacement?
Post by: Shylo on April 07, 2014, 04:50:55 pm

I was hoping someone could enlighten me on how one can determine if a note is a replacement note or not...

I know you can look it up on the list here on the data base.. or the Gilies list...

What I'm talking about is the process that a bricker would go through...(please speak to me in simple terms)

I would assume that someone gets one or several bricks from the bank and starts going through each bundle....

Now what would be the indicator that they have a replacement note in their bundle?

Is it that one note has a completely different prefix?

I'm just curious.. any insight would be helpful.. trying to understand this hobby from different perspectives.

Thank you

For these questions, I'm sticking to collecting replacement bills with an old fashioned asterix on them!

Shylo: What do you mean by brick? and more importantly a brink from the bank?  :-\

Regular notes smell like maple syrup while replacement notes smell like strawberries.

 :-D

I'm sorry, I just couldn't let that go unsaid.  :-X

Funny you say that - The replacement notes I found in a bundle smelt like someone's lunch. Is it possible that they store all the replacement notes in the lunch room before they are used.
:D
