The new notes you received may not be arranged in sequence according to their serial number due to the following reasons:

• Notes are inspected during the printing process and defective notes are rejected.
  • The serial numbers of the rejected defective notes will thus be excluded from the new notes you receive.
• Notes are packed by automated packing machines after inspection, where notes from different inspection batches may be packed together.

The inspection and packing process is adopted for the printing of all Singapore notes.
