A question about serial numbers on currency ?

Addictedtocoins · February 17, 2015 3:31AM

Are bills with serial numbers in numeric order collectible ?

GRANDAM · February 17, 2015 3:45AM

Yes, very much so

johnny9434 · February 17, 2015 3:47AM

yes by all means they are.

I picked five 100.00 bills at the bank and noticed all the serial numbers matched LD 15531844 A thru LD 15531848 A. Also got five 20.00 bills..Four of them are D 626662161 B thru D 6266165 B.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't believe sequential serial numbers have any premium value on modern currency.

You are correct. Unless they are star notes or "special" serial numbers there is no added value.

I read the question as a serial number 123456789 etc

That's how I read it. They are referred to as "fancy serial numbers". There are also radar notes, all the same number, and number 1 serial numbers.

You can orders straps of 50 new $2 bills and they will be in sequence. A RADAR note would be like 123454321.

You mean a little green Star after the serial number ? I have a 1969 100.00 bill and a 2004 50.00 with a green star after the serial number...

They are worth something. Yours for instance are worth $600.

There are also mismatched serial number notes where the two serial numbers on a bill are different which is caused when the device that imprint the serial numbers jams.

Yes. Pictures would help. What are the districts/serial #s ? Like everything else condition is a factor.

Should they be graded like coins ? I will try to post a picture sometime tomorrow .

Addictedtocoins · February 17, 2015 5:54AM

The 100.00 bill serial number is F 00210853 followed by a small star. The 50.00 number is EK 00597716 followed by a star .

I'm going to go back and check the serial numbers..

Star notes like these have become common and don't carry much of a premium.

This was a joke! That is the face value of what you listed!!

coindeuce · February 17, 2015 7:05AM

Wabbit made a funny. So funny I forgot to laugh.

lostincoins · February 17, 2015 7:14AM

Guess I will be that guy, we have a currency board that would be much better to ask these questions on considering this is the US coin forum.

luckybucks · February 17, 2015 9:03AM

To some degree consecutive serial numbers can be collectible, but they are a very tough sell unless they are something special.

What you have are a pair of star notes. The 2009A LC* consisted of a printing of 3,200,000 notes, so they aren't all that rare, but are worth around $140 to maybe $160 each.

JerseyJoe · February 17, 2015 9:23AM

I forget what this one went for.

ricko · February 17, 2015 9:56PM

Is that $20 bill a post mint added decal? Do not think it could happen in the printing process since it is transparent.... or did you post it as a joke? Cheers, RickO

That Dole banana sticker was on the paper and the bill was printed over the paper sticker. Very cool error.

I often thought that it be nice if coins had s/n's starting with #0000001 for the first production strike.

I know it's impractical but it would be a great identifier.

Be a big war on trying to get the lowest number, etc, like the currency guys chase s/n's.

That $20 shown above is cool.
