Quote: if you don't mind opening your eyes this serial numbers are 25262728 if you look closely the two repeats all the way through the serial number making it a super repeater Disregarding the hostility, this note is NOT a super repeater. A super repeater needs 4 blocks of two digits to repeat, 24242424 would be a super repeater. 12131415 is not. The top note IS interesting, and I would keep it myself, but it's not extremely valuable, especially in the condition it's in. The other notes aren't worth more than face value. Also remember, rarity does not indicate value. Every individual number on any particular banknote is extremely rare, it's the desirability of the number that makes the value.

Thank you and I meant no hostility I originally wrote something very hostile lol but I felt like just a explanation of what I was reading would be better and this is why I come here to verify what I am reading thank you Adam that is helpful but the childish go buy some bandaids to stop the bleeding was not funny. Seemed a little over reached for comedy so that's why I posted that. And again I mento no hostility I merely wanted the other person to know more then I do at least before putting useless information mixed with ignorant banter I never asked for that in my post. Just honest opinions

Also Adam I read on a few places that yes you are right about a super repeater being 2 numbers repeating 12121212 like so and a repeater is 18171915 like so however when you have a repeater that has a nice sequence like mine or 24242727 or 23242423 that those are also considered a form of super repeaters in respect of their secondary sequencing the f24242727 being a super repeater repeater and the 23242423 super repeater radar etc as long as the other numbers in the repeater are fancy but I may be wrong. And I'm not trying to find a price tag to sell them I would just like to hold on to the neat ones see I thought the 777 was neat but I am finding out that it's not that rare or cool at all pretty common. Thanks for everyone's help and reply's and I'll be the bigger person and apologize for any I'll will my earlier reply may have sounded like.

It's an interesting bill for sure, I would keep it, but it isn't a super repeater, and it isn't worth much over face value.
Please refrain from being hostile, "putting useless information mixed with ignorant banter" isn't very acceptable. He was simply making a light hearted joke, and it wasn't irrelevant, it was relating to what you could buy with the bill, as it's value is probably under $3.00

It appears I've rustled some feathers, which wasn't my intention. I read that the OP was "just looking for opinions" which I cordially included along with my classic, "if you like them, keep'em". The Band-Aid story was my way of conveying that I valued them at face value. It may have come across as harsh but it's what my readers have grown to expect...I meant no harm. I will not however put up with misinformation, and the links provided by the OP kinda proved my point. This is a Super Repeater -  This is a Lucky 777 note marketed by the BEP -  I don't see what the OP saw in his third note at all, L17551224S is about as random as they come. The title said Fancy Serial Numbers, any thoughts so I gave the OP my humble opinion. I always try to encourage collectors at every level and sometimes I come across as brutally honest. Once again, I did say, if you like them, keep'em.....the cute Band-Aid story was to let the OP know that if he had to spend them one day, no big deal. Relax Jeremy.

No need to explain yourself Steveln. Most of us anyway understand you were offering your opinion, which I agree with.

And I apologized I do use the information here and I don't want enemies but I have had more than enough people taunting me and harassing me when I first started out on here no matter what I write or how I explain it.

And I find it funny this is the first time I said anything back and yet people pile up on me I did however apologize and do hope I didn't hurt any feelings. I re read the post and realized I made a mistake. However I've I been called everything short of stupid on this site and no ones ever said anything to those people about being acceptable or hostile rather joined in with the agreed "quotes" laughs and smirks funny how that works oh well. I will continue to post I will just continue to let everyone say what they want. I do need the advice currency is vast tricky hobby. Oh and I will relax I guess it's better just to sit back and let people have their fun sticks and stones I don't want to get kicked off. I'm not saying what Tampa said this time was hostile I agree I misread and misunderstood his meaning of the bandaids but in my defense I have been heckled one to many times.

No worries Jeremy. Sorry to hear about members here giving you a hard time. Collecting is supposed to be enjoyed by like-minded people interested in the hobby without fear of ridicule. Learning the correct terminology, learning how to grade, learning the history can seem daunting at first but becomes second nature after time and experience. Sometimes asking about a note might lead you to more helpful comments than going with declaring they are something that they are not. We are all hear to learn bud.
Edited to add; When I first started collecting and joining numismatic forums, the rule that influenced my thought process the most was the rule that said, Attack the post, NOT the poster.

We are a community, so when one of us gets unnecessarily insulted, a few of us tend to push back. We aren't trying to make you feel bad, and none of us are insulting you, so please, don't insult us. Just try to keep an open mindset, and remember, this forum is full of people with decades of experience. We aren't insulting you, however, calling someone's advice "useless and ignorant" when they are just trying to help is very unnecessary. So please refrain from doing so. We are here to help, but remember to keep an open mindset. We're here to learn and assist those that seek to learn.

Ok maybe I'm not saying it right but the earlier comment never pointed towards anyone directly I believe I stated people in general not tampa. However I digress I apologized and well Steve I don't know how many more times I can do that. Is it at all possible we could get back to the coins. No harsh words intended I feel like it is what it is however I meant it or others perceived it.
To Tampa is that how my post originally came off? Ill try and be more clear when writing I have no idea if the bills where that or not I thought I was asking if the question are these fancy. As to the other posts I merely put the links up to show why I thought those could be that and I was under the impression I wasn't making a claim to what the bills where for sure but merely suggesting or asking if what I read was true. So thanks for the feedback Tampa I will re read before I post and try to be more transparent. I didn't mean to come off like I was an expert I meant to post it more like this is what I have came up with according to other websites and is this what I should be looking for. Also all and any information about the topic is always helpful I am in no way trying to sell anything if I post it it's because I bought it or came across it and a want to know if I really have something cool and one day valuable. I don't want to tell people I collect currency and when they ask me to show them a binder full of regular everyday coins or bills like I emptied my pockets and billfold before they came over. Thank you again and I will take your advice to be more thought full in my OP and my questions for my posts.

Eh it happens. Just got to move beyond it now. A lesson I learned and was told is: "One of the best ways to learn on here is to not answer first. Think what you think it is in your head, but don't write it down as it could give the person false information. Wait for others to reply and see if you were right. Repeat this over time and you'll really start to learn."

Like you I'm a collector and what impresses people are the "weird" notes for example: 1) World War II currency -Hawaii, North Africa 2) 1928 FDR notes that are exchanged for gold 3) A different seal set of US dollars 4) Horse Blankets (large sized notes) 5) Fractional, honestly people are like what? You mean these are real money? 6) and for my experiences obsolete currency. Showing someone an 1800's note issued by bank. People are like.. Huh? In the 1800's the government didn't issue currency? Banks did? People will spend time looking at And I don't have any large amounts (500,1000,5000 or 10000) you have those and people are like those.    I've never seen anyone give a second look to any modern currency no matter the serial number. Just my 2 cents. Or my $2

A bit late but I love the first note. Even if the condition isn't great, that'd be straight into my collection. Awesome find!
