Hello Everybody!
I was wondering if a very beat up, folded, and ripped dollar bill with a serial number of J 25522555 B might be worth anything. I know a binary note in general is worth more, but this one is in bad condition. I can not post pictures this second, but just imagine that this note looks in terrible condition.
Thank You!

a binary not must include only ones and zeros.
in my opinion your note is a spender.

What? I thought a binary was when there are only 2 numbers in the serial number.

A true binary contains only 1's and 0's.
Some technical binaries contain two other digits.

How much would a true binary (1 and 0) be worth?

Would depend on the sequence.

I see notes like yours for sale on ebay all the time. Check out the SOLD prices on those to see if any of them actually ever sell for for what price. Since yours is folded and beat up -- I'm not sure you'd find a buyer. |

Please give us a digit sequence and photos to evaluate. A "1 and 0" binary option tells us little of interest.

And I was told by a collector as long as it's any two numbers it doesn't matter

Whether it's 1's and 0's or any two numbers, binary serial numbers rarely enhance the value EXCEPT for true binary repeaters and binary radars. To take it one step further, I've seen ebay listings that hype trinaries. It's all about supply and demand. Bisons, Chiefs, Battleships, Educationals and other iconic notes sell for high premiums because the supply is far surpassed by collector demand. I have yet to see a large demand for binaries. |

 There's no harm in collecting notes any way you like, just don't expect a big premium value for things that aren't rare. I've been setting aside certain notes for a few years, none of which have very much premium value. My plan is to unload them all some day -- all at once -- to anybody who thinks that they can sell them. Dealers know what their customers want and I have no interest in devoting any effort towards customer acquisition. Seriously, if a dealer offered me a ten per cent premium on a circulated bill with a binary serial number -- I'd take it. |

Same here.
On the subject of the word "binary", any serial number composed of only two digits can be called a binary. Only in the field of technology does this term refer to a system incorporating the digits 0 and 1. The word itself simply means something composed of two parts - like a binary star, for example.
