Keep it till you get a better Macklin Carney $5, a few months back these were quite scarce, but now , not so much.
4 numbers past a radar, too bad.
No premium for the hi digit 6.

The 6 is no more raised than the 5's are lowered.
It's the style of that particular font.

The 6 is not really raised, but still worth to keep, because HBG is a changeover

What do you mean by different "types" of bills?

I have listed almost all the known replacements in one thread... (I have no idea how to work the search features of this site but it wouldn't be that hard to find really)

I have in other posts said what kind of bills are "trending" such as laddars and radars and such... if you want that kind of list I can do that again too... just need to know what exactly it is you're looking for..

The 6 looks slightly raised, but it would have to be significantly raised for it to be considered an error and a premium. Since it's your first Macklem/Carney, keep it until a better one comes along.

What types of bills are you asking about?

I think this is the thread AgCoinAu was referring to about Replacement notes. Great job on the list AgCoinAu.

Replacement notes are only possible to identify from a list of serial numbers, since they are indistinguishable from regular banknotes.

As for fancy serial numbers, look for these types of serials:


Solids, eg. 2222222 (very valuable)
Ladders, e.g. 0123456
Radars (read forwards the same as backwards), eg. 2151512, 0801080, 1117111. Solids are also an example of radars.
Repeaters (numbers repeat in a sequence), eg. 1141141, 3737373, 5678567. Solids are also an example of repeaters.
Rotators (read the same when rotated upside down), e.g. 6008009, 0868980
Binary (composed of two numbers, usually 1s or 0s only), e.g. 0111010, 1111001
Birthday notes (serial number spells out a calendar date), e.g. 2181988 = February 18, 1988 (https://goccf.com/t/174633&SearchTe...rthday,note)
Low numbers (usually desirable under 1000), e.g. 0000750, 0000028, 0000001

Changeovers refer to the first/last prefixes of a series. For example, the note you have pictured is a changeover because HBG is the first in the series of polymer $5 notes.

Good luck in the hunt! I hope I listed all the fancy serials out there.
