I am going to start an amazing and exciting quest to find two bills with the date Sept 12, 1991 and Aug 30,1993.
I wonder how many dollar bills it would take to come up with at least one bill from the two categories. This sounds Exciting.
Some variants:
Sept
09121991
12091991
19910912
19911209
Aug
08301993
30081993
19930830
19933008

Good luck!  Four serials out of 99,999,999 seems a bit challenging!  |

Not only 4 but doing that twice :) At least its not like trying to find 00000001. :)
Percentage of finding one in given range: 4/99,999,999
or .000004%
LETS GO.

or .000004% Actually a little over 4 million of those serial numbers are not circulated, so you would have to figure that into the equation.  |

At least you have not narrowed it down to a certain series. I have a few birthday notes (1930's I believe) at the house, but the probability of them being the ones you need may be slim indeed (but I am going to look anyway).  Edited by oih82w8

There is one small piece of advice I could offer. Whenever I am trying to find something I do saved searches on either Heritage or ebay and they email me every day with the results if any have been listed. Since a lot of times people list the serial number of a note in the description you just need to do a search like the one I just did above then click on "Save Search" and make sure the "Email me daily when new items match my search" box is checked. Then if one is ever listed you will get an email. You can do that for all the serials you are looking for. |

You can search for multiple things at once too, for example, (09121991, 12091991, 19910912, 19911209, 08301993, 30081993, 19930830, 19933008). I have a saved searches with a list of coin dates I'm searching for in the appropriate categories, and with advanced options turned on that exclude sellers I don't like. |

I had a $20.00 I was going to give to my sons mother that was her birth date, but I kept it in my wallet and my son wanted to go to subway and I gave him that $20.00 bill not even thinking about it because I was busy doing something else when he asked for the money. It is very hard to find everything that matches exactly with every number, but possible especially if you have enough people looking. The one I had had a serial number 08111975 her exact Birth date

I think people are understating how many copies of these serial number there would be. For example:
665,600,000 one dollar bills were printed for the Series 2006 FRB Designation A (Boston). The serial numbers repeated themselves 7 times (almost 7 full print "runs" 00000001-96000000 A_A through A_G). These serial numbers would have shown up at least 7 times as they aren't low or high. He is looking for any of 4 different combinations, meaning ~28 copies of this bill for just the Federal Reserve Bank in Boston.
In total ~9.5 billion one dollar bills, not counting stars, were printed during Series 2006. 107 runs in total, so possibly over 400 different bills for each group of serial numbers (August and September). From Series 1999-2006, close to 40 billion one dollar bills have been printed, just one denomination. There have to be more than a few copies of each SN out there.
