Is this number anything special?

E5556506E 2003A series

Note is complete but not in great shape.

Thanks for your time

a binary uses two kinds of digits. if that zero was a 5 or 6 then it'd be a binary

That's right. In fact, if you find a note that has serial X00000003X or something similar, I will be a friend and give you DOUBLE face



Whoa... my colored $50 that I got the first day of circulation has serial EA00020344A. Is that low?

The serial should have 8 digits, no?

I've seen people selling these on ebay. They might refer to yours as "5 out of 8" solid digits. I don't think there's much of a premium until you get to 6 out of 8. They might also refer to it as a "trinary" - containing only 3 digits. I personally don't think it's too special, but I'm often surprised at what actually sells for above face.

Bottomline, if it's in OK condition, I think it could sell for a little above face on ebay. But then you have to deal with the hassle of listing, shipping, fees and such, to the point that it might not be worth your time...

"Solid" should mean that the digits are together. 55555606 would be a 5/8 solid. This would just be a 5 of a kind.

There might be someone that is collecting trinary numbers with 0,5,and 6, but you are not going to get much of a premium on it. Odds are not in your favor that you would be able to connect with that collector.
