No listing in reference books for this $100?

Can anybody explain why there is no listing for this series '2006A' $100 FRN?

I can't find a listing for any 2006A series $100 Federal Reserve Notes in my 2 reference books - Azpiazu's Whitman Guidebook to 'Modern Ferderal Reserve Notes' (Series 1963-2009), or the Friedberg reference book 'Paper Money of the United States'

Hopefully it is not phony, but if it is, it's an awfully good one! It has all the security features that $100 bills normally have. Photos attached.

Thanks! My note is serial # KB 18004538J, so it is listed in the chart - why not the texts?

Also, I can't seem to figure out how to post a photo any more...I never had any issues before, but I have uploaded the pictures to Photobucket, Flickr, Snapfish and my own photo library, but I can't find a 'properties' link to copy & paste onto from any of the sites. How are photos attached these days?

Here is the explanation from USPaperMoney.com:

Why Series 2006A? Since these notes have the same design and signatures as the previous Series 2006, there has been some puzzlement regarding the use of the Series 2006A designation. In response to inquiries, the BEP provided the following explanation: When NXG [NextGen, i.e., colorized] $100 production halted due to sporadic paper creasing, the BEP went back into production of NCD [New Currency Design, i.e., 1996-generation] $100s to meet the continuing high demand for this U.S. currency denomination. With the NXG $100s bearing a new series year and new signatures, a decision was made to retain Series 2006 and Cabral/Paulson signatures on the NCD $100s. The A was added to the series to distinguish between the different production cycles. Even so, the use of the Series 2006A designation appears to be a departure from past practices, since other series have resumed production after much longer time gaps with no change to series designation.

To put it simply, series 2006A were printed after series 2009 had begun production - but 2009 was halted due to printing problems - so 2006A was a stop gap measure until series 2009A (and then later 2009) were released.



The texts were printed before series 2006A was put into production.

The BEP has the $100 series all out of whack.



There were 2006 notes from January 2007 to April 2012



2009 note from February 2010 to September 2011



2006A notes from January 2011 to mid 2013



2009A notes from October 2011 to date (so for several months, the BEP was printing 2006, 2006A and 2009 / 2009A notes all at once.



Even more interesting, series 2013 was started over a year ago, and then the BEP strangely switched back to 2009A.

Thank you, that is very clear!
