Today I got $1000 of uncirculated bird notes ($5's, $20's and $50's) from my bank and when I checked this website for serial numbers a set of 8 notes with the prefix AIW with serif? came up. I am new to banknote collecting and was looking for more information on "with serif" and if my notes have it.
I was quite shocked to see AU55 to UNC60 values around $170 each if these are the correct type of note!!

Oops, I found my answer on the website.
However, do all the I's with serifs denote a replacement? I have an EIM0770476 with serif that isn't flagged on the website.

That is a common note with 130 million printed in that series, this is why it is not listed.
Also a serif āIā is not a replacement note, they have an āXā as the third letter.

I thought this series still had the X but was confused when I saw this on this website.

According to this site there were about 3.6 Million notes with the AIW with the tall or serif I.

If you look on the auction information, 3 GUNC65 bills sold for about $170. About half what they are listed for on CaC.

My Charlton has this note at the end of the pricing panel for
1991 $20 (BC-58)*:
Note 6
$20 insert replacements notes come in blocks of 18,000 or multiples of 18,000, starting with the Knight-Dodge signature.
However on the pricing table, there is
Knight-Thiessen AWE (Below 160,000); AWH (below 100,000) & AWI (between 1.00M to 1.10M) all designated as an insert replacements) with a capital
A or
BC-58cA. So there were three Knight-Thiessen insert replacement ranges discovered before the Knight-Dodge inserts.
Knight-Dodge inserts begin with
EVZ & continue with 21 other prefixes (check your Charlton for details of the serial # ranges).
Insert replacements were discovered by brick searches who then reported their findings to one person (an "insert adjudicator"). After a few other searchers verified/confirmed other stray prefixes (notes inserted in other bricks with different prefixes), the adjudicator narrowed down the range of insert notes based on the 18,000 rule. Hope that clarifies things
