Hello

I know a little bit about notes that have different serial number sequences etc. and that some people collect them. I have one that I believe they call Bookends. 72180721 Is that correct for this serial number ? Also, do the bookends have to be all 4 digits or is 3
digits like on this one O.K. ?
Another $1.00 note I found today looked interesting. Not sure if it is anything at all, but if so, what would the number sequence be called ? 31211212

Thank you for any info.

The first set of serial #'s are definately a form of "bookends." Bookends can be 2 or 3 digits. I believe that when the note has four digits in a bookend sequence, it's refered to as something else. I can post some that I have, if you'd like to see them. It could also be a form of a birthday note for July 20,1980.
I'm not an expert, but I don't think that the 2nd set of serials that you posted is a collectible serial #. I go through about 5,000 different $1.00 notes a week and see serials like this all the time.
Maybe, if my resources were unlimited, I'd save every note with a slightly fancy serial #. With a collection of about 200 $1.00, I keep just stars notes, those with a low serial of three or more 0's, and those with a serial # that are more obvious with kind of a "wow" factor.
Again, not an expert. I just like having fun with the hobby. Someone else may have a different opinion.

Thank you for the info.
I wonder if there were 4 numbers would that maybe be called
what I read somewhere, as a radar note ? Or numbers that read
the same forwards or backwards ? Something like that.

I think it would just be called a repeater 12341234.

Radar is like this: 12344321. Like the word radar can be read backwards and fowards.

Thank's all.
I was confused about that radar thing.
Now I see.
I think I will put that bookend one up here for auction.
maybe somebody would like it.
