i pulled a $10 2009 00031800 - i was pleased to see this one regardless of value

also found a $5 2006 00477375 - not sure that qualifies

i try to remember to look for star, radar, consec. etc

You're not the only one that plays this.. Sure you can BUY low SNs on eBay but that defeats the point of the hunt.

16007 for me. (a $1 bill. I only search $1 bills)

A pal of mine asked if low serial numbers were worth anything 'cause he'd found a dollar will with the SN of 81.

I found a $1 FRN last year with four leading zeroes, I think it was 00002804, but I threw it back. Last month I pulled another $1 FRN with serial number 55999222, but one of the kids nicked it for lunch money. Over the summer I got the bill below in change while on vacation, it was a challenge keeping the kids from spending it too:

I should double check this, but I think I have a $10 note 00000019.

edit: Checked it. It was 00000019

not FRN , but interestingly enough it just was sent to my smart phone yesterday, with an inquiry as to value.

Twosides, did someone hit that note with a detector pen? Looks like it would have been an $800 or so note before that.

Tullahoma note




Lowest I have found in circulation

NewEnglandNotes;

Not certain what was done to the note. Nasty marker and a bit tattered, but I told the gal I would happily list it for her to prove it's "worth". She claimed it was worth $10K. I tried my best not to laugh on the phone.

NewEnglandNotes

Too bad, without that mark on the front it's a nice note, she probably hit it with a detector pen and ruined it.

I've got a Five I found in circulation years and years ago, it's either 00050000 or 00005000, I forget, will have to find it and take a picture.

Interesting article from today's local paper. I was going to post this in the currency forum, but it seems to work for this discussion.

lets take a slight turn. how about star notes found in circ?

$5 - 2006 - IG00216872* - i think this one may be pretty good but i'm still working on it
$1 - 2006 - G03768841*
$1 - 2006 - B01208324*

we're already OT, so may as well keep it rolling

couple neat ones on this site.

i've used this one several times.

Star notes are quite common in circulation. Just yesterday I deposited some money into my checking account and noticed one of the $100s was a star note with two zeroes to begin the serial number. Well circulated, though, so not worth keeping, only noting. Lowest serial number I've found in circulation? I look off and on but I've only found one with three zeroes to begin the serial number. It was 0003xxxx something similar to the OPs.

Not sure what my lowest serial is, but I purchased a collection abt 4 months ago and the guy had a $1 bill with all 222222222222's!!!!!!!!!!! He wouldn't sell it to me though :-(
