That's actually the first time I've read that money likes math.

A bill I sold two years ago had the serial number 44714744. I thought that one was math fun because 7 + 7 = 14.
4 + 4 = 8 and 7 + 1 = 8.

I believe they are saying (with angle brackets around numbers from the note):

<5> = <5>
And
<8> = <6> + 2
And
<04> = <06> + 4

So each grouping pair is different by 0, 2, or 4 in that order.

I have my doubts though whether this is correct, but have nothing to offer instead.

The first thing I thought was 5X80=400, but what about the 65?

Yes indeed. For my answer to the brain teaser the 65 has no purpose but kudos to Spence for finding a way to include it as well.

Initially I was going to make the first clue stating you did not use 65 but decided to leave it open-ended in case someone came up with an alternative solution to mine.

I'll always take a good kudo or two, but the full credit should go to @I6609 for that.

@Rainman - just to be clear, you gave us a serial number puzzle to solve where the last two numbers didn't matter - is that right?
