I recently got some $100 bills from my bank. The serial # on this bill is 11/30/2013. I was also able to get dated notes 11/30/2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2019. The 11/30/2013 would be a Tombstone date for the actor Paul Walker. The 11/30/2015 date has a connection to Kobe Bryant's retirement announcement. I was just wondering what added value above face value, could these possibly bring. They are all new-crisp, never folded bills.  |

Birthday notes have a small premium. Check ebay sold values for an idea on current value. John1  |

I've never understood the appeal of birthday notes, loosely defined as they are, but certainly many are enamored of them.

Usually they sell like $10 dollars over the face value but only if you get that buyer who is looking for that particular birth date.

at $10 over face then ebay would not be an option, haha. I will just keep them until I need to spend them. |

IMO "birthday" & what I call "Fancy" serial numbers are (or at least seem to be) a bit on the fringe yet. Mind you- binary # (00's & 11's) & "Rotators" used to be fringe but are now accepted as "Special Serial Numbers" (by Canada's Charlton at least). When I first started collecting I wasn't interested in prefixes (short, or change-overs) nor replacements but I actually snagged a few of the latter (asterisk replacements) as a 16 year old working at a carwash. Once I started to really take note of the various serial numbers on each note I got drawn in. I then discovered (over the years) how hard it was to come by a simple 3-4 digit radar (1 in 1000 here in Canada) & later began to appreciate special numbers (my interest grew over 2 decades). If you have searched for them (from bundles/bricks) it makes you realize how hard they are to come by. Re: $100 Nice note but I would prefer a lower denomination with a fancy (or birthday serial number). |
