Low serial numbers, especially those 00000100 and under, are considered fancy to even serious collectors, while others appeal to casual collectors as well. See this link:
https://oldcurrencyvalues.com/low_serial_numbers/Serial number 00000001 - 00000009, most valuable
Serial number 00000010 - 00000099, always carry a premium
Serial number 00000100 - 00000999, could carry a premium
Serial number 00001000 and higher will rarely be worth more than face value (although I will add that those under 10000 or so do seem to still sell to casual collectors)
Its interesting that even those not in great condition can sell just based on the serial when low although with great condition can increase the value even more potentially. While the general advice to follow is in that link, even those 100-999 sell extremely well these days to the casual collectors such as on
ebay and possibly higher like the posted note you can check sold listings.
High serial numbers as well:
