Low Serial Number Notes
Hello,
I work as a cashier for a large retailer. I won't mention where, but as a cashier, they're all the same. I have recently found 3 $10 notes from 2006 (?) that all start with 0000. I thought notes with low serials were supposed to be hard to come by. But to find 3 in about a weeks time? Do I have notes that are worth more than the $10 face value or should I just put them back into circulation? Thanks! |

Mark, It could be that a bunch of low serial number bills were delivered to a nearby bank. Only about 1 in 10,000 notes has a serial number with four or more zeros at the beginning, so they are normally hard to come by in normal circulation. How close together are the numbers? Also, are there any with more than 4 zeros at the beginning of the number? take care, Scott |

The second and third notes are separated by 4000 or so. Unfortunately none of them have more than four zeros at the beginning of the number. Any idea if I should just put them back in circulation or try and sell them? Thanks Scott! |
Low Serial Number Notes
Mark,
I went and dug out my copy of Small Size U.S. Paper Money 1928 to Date, 4th Edition from 2002 and the estimated value of a crisp uncirculated $10 note numbered from 1001 to 9998 is $12.50. $25 for even thousands (1000-9000) and Quad numbers (1111-9999), a sequence, forward or reverse (3456 etc) would be $37.50. The book is now up to the 9th edition and I don't know how values have changed. A note with circulation folds etc is worth "correspondingly lower" This amount would be in addition to any value of the note for its series, block etc. Hope this helps, Marty "Mark Rossi" wrote in message ...
