Web Notes
Reference Main
During the early 1990's, the BEP tried to use a different kind of printing press to produce currency. Instead
of being sheet-fed, the press was fed with a continuous roll of paper. The hopes of this experiment
was to create a way of printing $1 bills in a quicker manner (since printing ones consumed the
majority of time spend printing all denominations of currency). The new press did not meet expectations
and was put out of commission (for currency printing purposes) in November, 1996. Web notes get their
name from the type of press used - the Alexander Hamilton Web Press. Some web notes are quite common...others
are extremely scarce. If you want to find out if your web note is scarce/valuable, use the
