does the low serial number mean it is more valuable?

<<A 66 is pretty low>>

To tell you the truth, I never thought about that and now you have me wondering. I dobt that it has much significance.

Thousands of banks issued these small size notes from 1929, all starting with a 6 subject sheet of sheet number 1's for each denomination (the prefix letter ran from A to F on each sheet). 1933-1935 saw a second style of serial numbering. Each note had their own number, but they started at number 1 again. Number 1 notes are very popular with collectors. I would say the last two notes pictured are quite typical for small town banks with a couple of leading zeroes in the serial number. The first note is the 1933-1935 style and the other two are the 1929-1933.

This was the first time I scanned a picture for the forums. Have you visited the paper money forum?
