The 5 is a little wrinkly but I still like it. Couldn't post any more pictures as the image optimizer still isn't working.

Was able to figure out how to resize in my pictures folder.

Nice stars, everyone!

@Mark - what are the handwritten percentages next to your notes?

Coolness factor %

Extremely cool (Hall of Fame material): 99% or higher.
Very cool (Gallery material): 95.0% - 98.9%

The formula for the UCI is well-protected though curious number crunchers are invited to attempt to reverse engineer it.

Interesting.

OK, so you won't explain the coolness factor, is that right?

Frog, I sent the link to the "Cool note" website - I agree it's petty but fun to do but pretty worthless. I will post again if the last one didn't show up! I mean NO disrespect intended.

Don't mean to get off topic... but those who have tested the coolness factor out... who's got something higher than 99%? I've only got 2 that I know of that are 99%.

Back to star notes... what's better... a note from a run of 128,000 with 1,280,000 total printed(first bill pictured that I found today)...
or a run size of 320,000 with 320,000 total printed(second bill posted)?
The third bill I posted was a run of 640,000 with a total of 640,000...

Per the website, the 'rarity' is highest with the first, and drops with each bill posted in order...

99999999 gets 99.83%, but I don't have that bill. Just guessing on the algorithm, I'm thinking nothing gets 100%. And it's faulty, since 88888888 scores lower, but it's a flipper.

Just my opinion, but I cringe whenever I hear about a Where's George stamping on a note and anyone mentioning coolness factor when referencing a notes serial number.
