Are Deposit Bags Unit Specific?

Does anyone know if deposit bags are somehow tied to a specific unit? We recently reorganized 4 units in our stake and 3 of them ended up in our building. The checks and bags from 2 units ended up in the same filing cabinet. I can tell the difference between the checks, but the bags all look the same to me. I can see that the bags are individually marked similar to the checks, but they posses no markings that would identify them with a specific unit. Can I just take half the stack for my ward and leave half for the other ward?

I don't know but when we moved to a new bank we received new bags. So they are at least bank specific. You'll probably need to contact the global service center to find out for certain. If they aren't interchangeable then you can order new bags while you're at it.

On our bags, you write the unit name on the outside of the bag, so I'm guessing they aren't unit specific. I would be surprised if the bank is checking bag serial numbers against a list of units they were issued to.

That seems reasonable. Thanks for the responses. It's all become moot now, though as all the units got new bags and deposit slips right after I posted my question. So, all the bags I was asking about have been thrown away.
