deadmunny Pillar of the Community United States 619 Posts	Posted 07/26/2008 02:45 am The definition of "low serial" is 5 or more leading zeros. I haven't found one with 4 leading zeros yet, so if I did I would keep it just for my personal entertainment. Yours is not a keeper -- go out and blow it on ice cream :-) Report this Post to the Staff
malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 07/26/2008 02:45 am I think I saw in another post that you keep anything that starts with three or more zeros but I could be wrong. I dont really collect bills unless they happen to be in my change. Report this Post to the Staff
arthrene Pillar of the Community United States 1713 Posts	Posted 07/26/2008 11:31 am Three zeroes are uncommon but four zeroes is half the serial number and most of the threads here I've read say to start saving at the 4 mark. Report this Post to the Staff
