55555 And 2004 In Serial Numbers For 20 Dollar Bills

No, and no. Sorry. Some of our number-hunters might say "I'd keep them if I found them", but nobody would pay above face value for either of them.


All serial numbers are "unique". The human capacity for pattern recognition makes some of those unique numbers more desirable than others, even to the point of paying a premium for them. But alas, notes that "almost" fit a desirable pattern aren't worth any premium - just like a lottery ticket with "almost" the winning number is worthless.

What would be similar to your 55555141 that would be desirable?
- semi-solids - eg. 55555111
- 'low number' - eg. 00055555 (although to truly qualify as "low" you'd really need more zeroes than non-zeroes, such as 00000555)

What would be similar to your 20046017 that would be desirable?
- 'date note' - eg. 06172004, or even 17062004 or 20040617. The "60" in your number makes it impossible to fabricate a date out of it, however you try to write a date.
- 'repeater' - eg. 20042004

Even these ones I have mentioned above won't attract much if any premium for notes in your condition. Scruffy, stained notes are only likely to attract a big premium if they have one of the most desirable patterns: solids (55555555), radar (20044002) or a really low number (00000012).

the 55555 one is kinda cool, but I probably wouldn't keep either. $20 is alot to save for a serial number that isn't that special

I agree with Sap but the fact is that in ebay people buy all kind of stuff... so maybe for someone that numbers is cool and buy it. But I wouldn't keep them for me.
