BLOCK LETTERS ON THE NEW U.S. $10 NOTES

Joe Boling writes: "Further to the notice about the 2004A
$10 notes coming in March, has anyone actually seen a 2004A
$20 or $50 yet? I have had my bank tellers searching for
them for weeks, and have found none. I am interested in
the lead block letter. Since the large head notes were
introduced, each series has had a unique leading letter
before the letter that designates the Federal Reserve
District). The list looks like this:

A 1996
B 1999
C 2001
D 2003
E 2004

Now, the $10 series 2004A samples that have been shown
all have G as the lead letter. From that I infer that
the 2004A $20s and $50s are going to have the letter F
(and that the $10 notes may actually be designated as
series 2005, not 2004A as has been announced). Either
that, or the $10 notes will NOT have the letter G.
But I'd like a confirmation that the $20 and $50 notes
in series 2004A are using letter F. Has anybody seen
one (and noted the leading block letter)?"
