    RE: Special Serial Numbered Currency



    Dear Mr. Ford,



    Thank you for the kind offer to buy your notes. Unfortunately your notes do not carry any premium. I understand that one of them has the “1776” year in it but that does not qualify it as special. The note you pointed out in the article carries the actual July 4th, 1776 date (07041776) and is worth roughly $150-200 at most.



    I would simply suggest spending the money per usual as I don’t think you will find any buyers for your pieces.



    All My Best,





    Jim Futrell

    And with that reply, a potential ***** storm may ensue! Be on the lookout for future snail mail responses. But in all seriousness, that was the best approach.

    Jesus you just wonder how people like this function in society.

    I am convinced there are two types of people - those that get it, and those that don't. Clearly, this person is amongst the latter....

    I agree with lettow. I've seen new collectors use this website that gives a serial number a "coolness" factor, and tell others to keep notes that otherwise spenders.

    The question is: What happened with the second $1 bill B 41217763 - 2009 number 3 in his list.
    There is no pic in the list.
    Did Bill sell it for 5 Million to somebody else , or did Jim buy it afterall image

    This made my day. I wish I had thought to pull off a prank like that, but I don't own any of those 1776 rarities.

    I highly recommend reading the letter in Bobby Boucher's voice. (For Reference)
    I like large size currency and silver dollars.

    Based on the writing, it looks like a young kid wrote that letter.
