One of the larger currency dealers has this for sale. It's not a lot of money, but I was just interested in whether this random 0/1 sequence, lacking any symmetry or order, is of interest to many PM collectors.  |

I know someone will point out that the binary sequence is reversed and reads backward in the second quad, but could this be part of the appeal?

I'm not a note collector, but the pattern is interesting -- added to itself backwards (11010100), you get 11111111. Not that there's any special value in that; it just caught my nerdy eye.

I don't know much about them Coinfrog, but I like the fact that it starts with two zero's (00) and ends with two one's (11).  |

Thanks Spence, was trying to decipher, now don't have to waste my last two brain cells.
Frog. will interest those collecting the Digital equivalents, like what Spence just mentioned, building a numerical series of them, be a very, ah, unique collection.

I hope some binary collectors find this and chip in.
If the first two numbers were reversed to "01001011", removing the odd inverted sequence of the mirrored quads, would that make a difference in appeal?

It's 53 when converted to octal. (used to do that for a living)
I can't say that it has any more appeal than any other binary number -- but it certainly could to someone else.

That's quite amazing. I had to check it out with the calculator. I like the serial #. Of course, doesn't take much to interest me. Whether I'd pay much extra is doubtful, at least on this modern-design bill. Rickey, of Rickey's Collection, must've liked it. I have another bill from his collection and it's quite nice. |

It is interesting, I see the serial as a date - October 10, 2011!

Like the rest of the members, I find it interesting.
I like a variety of fancy serial numbers, unfortunately binary numbers don't rattle my cage.

Anyone care to take a guess at the asking price?
