Hello, Just got a new job where I will be having large amounts of contact with coins and cash, of various denoms....

I know some coins I should look for but I have no clue about modern notes... I know some type of serial numbers are collectable and what not.


but besides the radar (ex 12300321)... I have no clue ... can someone enlighten me?

Also are 20's and 50's and 100's only worth more or is a five with a good serial number worth more as well?

Here's an easy reference that might be helpful. Any banknote with a collectable serial # in good condition should be worth more than face.

Good luck on your new job and your search! But remember to also watch out that you don't get in trouble with the boss over it because the search can slow you down plus it's unlikely that you could take their cash with you on a coffee break:-)

Yes, that's a good example. I'd also add binary notes (made of two digits, e.g. 1010010) for sure. You might also want to look for serial numbers that make up your birthday, or someone's birthday that you know.

If I understand your last question correctly, fancy serial numbers on good condition notes would have extra value no matter the denomination. The difference in price comes with the face value on the banknote. The profit margins would be higher on lower denomination notes since most collectors would rather pay solely for the serial number, and saving money by not wanting to spend the extra to get a higher denomination. So I would be a little selective in the higher denominations when it comes to condition and/or rarity.

with wildflowerAB: make sure your employer is on board with this or you may get in trouble. Over time you will get quicker in identifying whether a serial number is special or not. Good luck and happy hunting! Sounds like fun going through large amounts!
