Personally, I would only pay attention to a 999 start. Or an old bill with a high SN

$1 with a serial number starting 960 or higher are technically NIFC, since they are apparently sold by the sheet to collectors. Don't think that's true with higher denominations, but I have only ever found a few notes with a serial number in the 996-999 range.

According to my information the series 2009 note had a total of 96,000,000 D-A block notes printed. I'm not sure about the 2013 note.

My personal rule of thumb for modern, 8-digit serial numbers is.....high numbers have a 9999 start and low numbers have a 0000 start

I thought of that too, and I suspect the OP did as well - both of the OP's notes are just short of 960.

It's a nice factoid, especially for the 9599 note, but I doubt other people will be interested, unfortunately.

Since the top serial number printed for circulation on your note is 96000000 (Run 15), and your 2009 note's plate position is H4, there are 77,245 notes with a higher serial number.. Is it a keeper !

Your 9599xxxx 2013 note should be a keeper, just not sure if there is a demand for it.. I recently posted info on series 2013 $1.00 notes showing that if you take the last 4 digits of the serial number, place a decimal point in the middle, then round UP to the next Whole Number, you have the LEPE Plate Position..

Chart is posted on my thread.

Personally I prefer low S/Ns with at least 5 zeros. Ask me why and I probably couldn't explain it.

For me I collect only ONE high serial number - 9999999 - In Canada it's the absolute last note printed in a prefix...and I think that's pretty cool

All serial numbers in this series begin with M. Serial numbers above 99200000 are not used; thus for example MB99200000A is followed by MB00000001B.

The amount of notes "they" are printing wouldn't bother you as much if you knew how many notes "they" destroy everyday because of being worn out and torn.
