I'm not into notes but I would imagine that is a keeper  |

Definitely a low number and a keeper! Within 500 of 0000000 or 999999 is low IMO. Below 100 is getting extremely low. Your note is awesome. I sold a low serial (000033) $5 paper in UNC on ebay two weeks ago and it fetched $50. A couple days ago someone purhased a very well circulated $5 note in the 300's from me for 20 bucks. I would say yours is worth at least $50 but I really am no expert. Hopefully goatieman or banknotelover will swing by. |

That's a ripper low serial!  Can you show us a close up of the serial from the top left corner, the last 3 digits appear to be different to the rest, a bit larger. Probably a bit of an optical illusion.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

I know nothing about foreign currency but in the US if that "6" wasn't there it would definitely be considered a Low serial but with it its not, it takes at least 4 0's on the front of the serial to be considered low here and not sure what constitutes high

Bryan,The first 2 numbers represent the year the note was printed ( in this case 2006 ) so only the last 6 are the serial number, 000010.

There is always a larger gap between the first 3 digits and the last 3, but all of the last 3 seem to be spaced wider apart.

The last six digits look very similar to my tax refund this year.!!

To the point that bryan was trying to make, US notes below 1000(4 0's to start) are considered low. With yours only having a 6-digit serial combination, 4 0's to start I think would definitely be considered low.
Nice find!
