There are 10 straps in a "brick", 1,000 notes. But I have also heard of
"blocks" so I wonder if those are what have 40 straps in them. I know there are packaged note bigger than bricks and that might be what a block is. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Tom |

My banks get shrink wrapped BEP Bricks of any denomination currently being printed. 10
bundles of 100 notes. I've heard of the "block" but have never seen one. It could be 4 BEP Bricks or it could be something else. A photo would anser that. Anybody? Anybody?

Hi
Since they began the "Shrink Wrapped" notes, it seems like the 10 packs -1000 notes was referred to as the previous "Brick" which I remember for the $1 FRNs as arriving in 40 packs-4000 notes. I have not kept up to the time, but in the 60s & 70s the "Brick" was 4000 notes with End-Labels to include both the start SN and Ending SN Ed Zegers |

Hi again,
I believe that what you have is a "Shrink Wrapped" pack of ten packs - 100 notes each. Yours has a Face Label with the starting number on it. These are produced on the COPE machinery of today following the Third printing. The BEP may have completely switched to this new process now and the following may be passe' A "Brick"(I believe a Bank-term) has Forty packs and Four (4) Thousand notes in it. Look it up in 1982 7th edition of ODonnells Standard Handbook of Modern United States Paper Money (page 19 in my book. Last sentance of the 2nd from last paragraph in col #1)."Each currency package contains 40 bands of 100 notes each, or 4000 notes, and weighs about 8.5 pounds" A Brick has a label with both Starting Number and Ending number.

I hope that you realize that I'm not sharp-shooting you. I just wanted to point
out that it is possible for you or some one else to "COIN" a name for this item. Good Luck Ed Zegers |
