oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 07/26/2016 08:12 am Banknote collectors have decided that certain uncommon sequences and patterns are "interesting". For example there are only 10,000 "radar" notes for any particular letter combination (out of a possible 100 million possibilities. This has three different numbers in no particular pattern or order, and undoubtedly quite a few more than 10,000. So in deciding if something is "interesting", you have to think of how many similar ones there are. This is notwithstanding that every serial number is unique! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/26/2016 6:35 pm Wait, wait - read backward, this could be a birth note for a really proud person born in 1968 - 68 (!) 06/06/68. Finally getting the hang of this birth note thing! Report this Post to the Staff

cashhound Pillar of the Community United States 800 Posts	Posted 07/26/2016 9:48 pm I save a lot of modern currency found in circulation but with all due respect I wouldn't hold it ... I'd fold it (in my wallet). Report this Post to the Staff
SteveInTampa Pillar of the Community United States 4637 Posts	Posted 07/27/2016 7:21 pm Anything special here ? The $20 note, no. But the by-line by @TypeCoin971793 is remarkable. Report this Post to the Staff
Connor Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 07/27/2016 8:12 pm Thanks for the replies...It may still be in the wallet or I may have already used it on some 90% silver today! Report this Post to the Staff
BanDurby New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 07/28/2016 11:42 am Some will loosely consider this a bookend or repeater. 86-6060-86 (86 bookends the middle portion) or 86-60-60-86 (technically a repeating pattern). $1's with similar serials can command a very tiny premium from some collectors (I've seen similar notes go for $2-$3). With that said, I'd consider it a spender. Any denomination > $1 has to be really spectacular for me to consider hanging on. And now you've got my 2¢. Report this Post to the Staff
