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

The first two notes are separated by about 2000. 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!

Default 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
