Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 01/03/2007 4:46 pm Let me preface this by saying I know nothing about bills. I received in change the other day a bill with a lower than normal serial# 00020286... It is a series 2003 $1. I had never noticed a bill with 3 0's at the start before. Is this something that is at all prized by bill collectors or should it be thrown back into circulation. Probably a very stupid question, but I appreciate the help. Thanks, Thundercoin Report this Post to the Staff

Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 01/03/2007 5:39 pm I am sure that someone will have a reply. People on this forum sure have a knack of having good answers. By stupid I just meant probably a "touch far-fetched" to think that the bill was worth anything. Thundercoin Report this Post to the Staff
Tykimeister Pillar of the Community United States 882 Posts	Posted 01/03/2007 5:59 pm Good question, Thundercoin. I collect many bills and many with lower serial numbers. Granted, a note with two or three zeros in front are generally prized more than notes will no zeroes, but a note is not really a low serial number unless it is 1000 or lower. People won't give you much for a $1 bill from 2003 with three zeroes because... well... give me an hour and a till full of money and I will find my own. They aren't as hard to find. If you have a three digit serial number, like 00000199, and from 2003, it is still only worth maybe $50. If you save it for 50 years, yeah, it will be worth much much more. But now, a not with only 3 zeroes, I would keep, but not expect much for it... This is a note I found at work. Lots of zeroes.

Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 01/03/2007 6:11 pm Thanks for the detailed response tyk. I may be selling an old silver certificate and a couple foreign bills on the forum sometime since I am not really a bill collector. Maybe I'll throw this one into the mix if I don't decide to use it to get a mountain dew in the meantime . I will see if I can come up with any bills with even more zero's at the front. This forum has also taught me to look for star notes, and I used to see them once in a while. Now that I am looking, no luck of course!! Thundercoin Report this Post to the Staff

Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 01/04/2007 08:23 am I will try to post pics in a few days. I think that what I have is a silver certificate $1, and a couple of bills from China. Thundercoin Report this Post to the Staff
