Hello, Ive been driving myself crazy all night looking at these bills trying to see if they are rare. I realized after reading the same serial numbers over and over it was making me crazy.

I have two sets of $5 dollar bills and in between there are some with unique serial numbers according to a site that checked the numbers, but these seem kinda special to me since they are repeating. The set begins at XXXXX15 and goes to XXXXXX85. also I have some other bills that match the serial numbers after XXXXXX40 except for a digit in the middle.

i noticed theres a repeating serial, a mirror, and theres one that reads the same backwards. I have laid out all of these to the left of the stacks of both sets of bills I have.

i would really appreciate some help on this, I'm totally lost lol.
Thanks

All bills are printed in sequential order. They are only worth $5 each. You also have a 0 in front, not a mirror. Just a regular non special serial number.

Nothing special I can see among those you've show us so far. Where is the one that reads the same backwards?

The ones shown in the first image have a slightly off center last serial digit, but that is fairly common

Cool, but that's $500+. If I may, there are plenty of better things you can put half a grand into.

Welcome to CCF.
The serial numbers are interesting, but it ends there. I'm unable to see anything collectible in the group. If you really like them, pick one or two to keep and deposit/spend the remainder.

the serial numbers I found the most interesting were the ones I had lined up on the right. I deposited the rest of the money. Just gonna hold on to those. the 4th bill on the right is the one that has a repeating number, but the zero kind of messes it up.

Thanks everyone for the replies.

They would be worth over $500 in CFU. (equivalent to Unc for coins)
Same value in lower grade.

I haven't seen any Series 2017-A $5 notes in my neck of the woods. They're the first printing in the 50-subject format.
