No, just sell it. Give her something she might actually want as a gift. Or just a regular 100 bill.

Amazing how people shoot off their mouths about buying stuff but when it's time to cut the mustard they amazinging crawfish away and disappear. It happens a lot! Put it on ebay with a starting bid of 800 or 900$ and let it run for 7-days. Make absolutely sure that your description is 110% accurate and your pictures accurately represent the note. If it sells ....fine; if it doesn't sell then frame it and give it away as a birthday present. Most of the low serial numbered notes get pulled long before they hit the public's hands. The guys that load ATM's and bank tellers have the inside track on getting the low numbered notes that are left after the BEP and FRB's are done pulling what they want to keep. Still, a good bank find anyway you look at it! Good luck! |

At the least in selling it call the site I mentioned earlier http://www.coolserialnumbers.com worth a shot, they'd give you a ballpark on value, also try http://www.jhonecash.com I don't have any connection with either, though I've bought a few $500 & $1K notes form John E. as he is local to me. Good guy, though he mostly deals in the big bills and older stuff, he is quite reputable in the coin/currency world and one of the market makers. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

I'm not a paper collector by any means, but even still I just don't get the serial # thing... at all... (i don't understand collecting beanie babies either, so at the end of the day. each to their own I guess)
00000003 is as rare as 23759342, or any other random series of #s?
I can understand a low mintage, and/or pristine condition... but a note that was printed in the millions, if not billions, is as common as dirt

Yes, from $3,500 to giving it away is quite disappointing, thats what happens when you give people the benefit of the doubt. I actually think of this as an experience, not a disappointment because it's not everyday someone hands you way more change than you expected.

I agree, this bill couldn't have been in circulation unnoticed since 2009. This would be amazing considering the note was not printed until January 2012. The year on the bill has nothing to do with when it was printed. The series year is 2009A not 2009. |

Wade - Whether you appreciate very low serial numbers or not, all you have to do is look at auction prices to confirm what collectors will pay for them. Consider these two notes - identical in every way, from the grade and signatures down to even the block numbers (!) - except for the serial numbers. Which one would you rather have?

The excitement for me was seeing 7 zeros in front of the 3. Correct me if I'm wrong, there's not only one 2009 A $100 bill with serial number 00000003? Shouldn't there be 7 $100 bills printed with the same 00000003 serial number from 2007 to 2012?

I would've been excited, elated and everything in between! It is a RARE item to find in the wild! It is definitely worth more than face value, even if circulated.
Look at it this way.... the only thing that beats it is serial #2 and then the holy grail of serial number 1!
Enjoy it and protect it while you own it!

There should be more than 7 with 00000003, probably more like 25... unless some of those were replaced with stars, which could also have the 00000003 number.  |

The number of "...003" serial numbers printed would have depended on the number of block letter combinations, I think. Someone here should have that info.

Ah yes, 91 makes sense. I was looking at that page too but didn't scroll to the bottom to see the totals all nice and neat for me. Regardless, they don't surface very often!  Edited by CelticKnot

savatreat - So there your have it. There were 91 different "...0003" notes printed for the 2009A issue of $100 bills, plus many more from other series, of course. And then you have the "...0002", "...0004" notes and so on. So they're interesting and fun to own, but not rare and (especially in circulated condition) not worth huge sums.
