NEW BOOK: UNITED STATES PAPER MONEY ERRORS

United States Paper Money Errors, 5th Edition
By: Dr. Frederick Bart and Bianca Bart

Whitman Brands is proud to unveil the long-awaited fifth edition of United States Paper Money Errors—a richly illustrated and fully revised guide to one of the most exciting areas of paper money collecting. Authored by the expert father-daughter team Dr. Fred Bart and Bianca Bart, this cornerstone title—originally published by the Coin & Currency Institute under the stewardship of Art Friedberg—has officially joined the Whitman family as the flagship title of its new Professional Series™.

"We're honored to continue the legacy of this essential book under the Whitman name," said John Feigenbaum, President and CEO of Whitman Brands. "As the market for paper money grows, especially in errors, this fifth edition couldn't come at a better time."

Few areas of numismatics generate as much buzz as paper money errors, with their eye-catching misprints and one-of-a-kind manufacturing quirks. The new edition of United States Paper Money Errors dives deep into this captivating niche with over 550 full-color images, detailed explanations, updated values in up to four grades, the universally recognized Friedberg Numbering System™, and rarity guides that make it easy for both newcomers and veteran collectors to understand what makes error notes so special.

Now structured according to the actual production sequence of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), the book offers readers a behind-the-scenes tour of how U.S. paper money is made—and how things occasionally go wrong in unforgettable ways. Historic BEP photographs add a layer of depth, contrasting past and present methods of printing.

"We've seen a noticeable rise in interest around paper money—especially among younger collectors looking for something unique and attainable," said Dr. Fred Bart, longtime expert and pioneer in error-note research. "This new edition not only modernizes the content but strengthens the foundation for learning. I'm thrilled to see Whitman carry it forward."

"Working with my father on this project has been incredible," added Bianca Bart, co-author and contributor to the new edition. "Collectors will love the expanded content, streamlined structure, and visual appeal. Error notes are truly the most entertaining part of currency collecting—and this book brings that excitement to life from first and second printing errors to overprints to fold and other miscellaneous errors."
