WRONG FORUM. Series 2013 $1 Star Notes - Zegers/Winograd Project lives on!

PastExpiryDotCom · October 30, 2021 6:30PM

Sheesh.... posted to wrong forum. How do I delete this???

The ERROR:
In 2014 and 2016, The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), printed series 2013 $1 Federal Reserve New York star notes from two facilities, Washington DC and Fort Worth. This, in itself is not unusual. The unusual part is they duplicated some serial numbers. There are dollar bills out there circulating with the same exact serial number as another dollar bill! The only difference is one bill has an indicator showing it was printed in Fort Worth, while the DC note does not. When the government does it it's legal, when WE do it it's called counterfeiting... LOL.

The PROJECT (prior and NEW)
In an attempt to help currency collectors find a matching pair of notes, Mr. Ed Zegers of Maryland and Mr. Karol Winograd of Florida started a project (known as the Zegers/Winograd project) of recording all the serial numbers submitted to them by fellow collectors. To date, there have been 9 matching pairs confirmed. The Zegers/Winograd project ceased maintaining the list in September 2021, but I have stepped in and carried on where they left off. For lack of a better name, I called it "Project 2013B".

Let's get matched!
Please let fellow collectors know that the Zegers/Winograd project lives on under Project 2013B. There have been reports of collectors spending their 2013B star notes after hearing that Zegers/Winograd had stopped updating their list. A matched pair could be worth thousands of dolalrs, with one matched pair recently selling at auction for $7200! The new 'Project 2013B' website has an online form that allows you to submit the serial numbers of any 2013B star notes that you might have. When a match is found in the database, the two owners will be contacted, and they can then decide if they want to get the notes together to be auctioned off (or simply kept as part of a collection). It's worth at shot at $7200+ !

Can you try to start a new discussion when you are in the currency forum? (Button should be at bottom of page).

Other new members have reported similar issues.

The New Discussion button only appears on the coin forum for me, and is simply not there on the currency forum. I also tried the directy link https://forums.collectors.com/post/discussion/u-s-world-currency-forum, and it just sends me to a mostly blank page that says "Permission Problem
You don't have permission to do that."

Newbie Lives Matter !

Maybe try again in a couple days. I've noticed that new member's profile have a applicant role for a few days before being switched to a member.

Like a dropped letter on a coin, this is interesting, but misplaced.

Doesn't exactly help me. I thought my first sentence was pretty clear.

you can't remove a post but you can edit the title to "wrong forum" and edit your comments to whatever you wish.

AlexinPA · October 31, 2021 9:19AM

You people have been here long enough to know what's going on. Not the first time and won't be the last.

Sorry 'bout that. My bad. Didn't see the first line.

Is there any forum administrator contact email or link** ANYWHERE** on this site? Like seriously, this is a no brainer on 99% of other online forums. I only seem to have the ability to post to the coin forum and absolutely nothing else.
