Default 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
