What is a Web
Note?
A
Web Note is a type of US $1 bill printed by the BEP (Bureau of Printing
and Engraving).
They are commonly referred to as Web Press Notes, Web-Fed notes, or simply,
Webs. These notes are different from typical $1 Federal Reserve Notes
that you find in circulation every day, although at first glance you may
not know it. As
a matter of fact, even some professionals to this day can not distinguish
the difference between the two. The Web Note
was the US Government's last ditch effort to make the production of the
One Dollar Bill cost effective. A Web-Fed Press was built which
printed one dollar notes on a roll , much like a newspaper. Traditional
methods of printing US Paper Money is on flat sheets. This press was eventually
completed and produced a limited number of notes while simultaneously
printing ones on the traditional presses. The notes
printed on the Web Press were produced for the following year series:
1988-A, 1993, and 1995. The Press cost Hundreds of Millions
of Dollars! Of course, the US Government and US Taxpayers picked up
the tab. The vast amount of errors, and instability
of the press led the government to abandon the entire project and sell
the equipment for scrap Metal! A Web-Fed Note is a product of this
press and is considered RARE!
How do I identify
a Web Note?
Very Simple. Look
at the photos below ... notice the little tiny "D 29" in the
lower right of the Bill? This is a "plate position indicator"
containing tiny letters and numbers. This is NOT a web-fed note.
The photo on the right is another Federal Reserve Note. Take note of the
little number "1" on the lower right. This is an indication
of a typical $1 WEB Fed Note.
