I do look out and pay attention to the paper money also. Star notes, serial numbers ect;. Today I was just glancing through some different denominations of bills and barely noticed this two bills a $5 and $10 as I inspected them more closely I found that the $5 serial number is 01556699 and the $10 serial number is 01556999 if they were in numerical order. My question is even though the numbers aren't numerical nor identical they all are the same numbers would these two bills be close to being considered rare? Thank you for your feedback!

As a general rule, if you have to rearrange the numerals on a note to make the serial number special (or in this case, "almost special"), then it's not worth a premium. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
DMN Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 02/04/2025 12:03 am @Sap Thanks for the feedback. I kinda figured that. But I know sometimes people might have an interest in things of this nature and I couldn't find anything related to the corelation of two bills being that close to almost being identical. Thanks again! Back to the coin side I go! Lol! Report this Post to the Staff

DMN Valued Member United States 275 Posts	Posted 02/04/2025 12:38 am @Marve65 I don't know about that. I've seen some even stranger and Ludacris things happen on the coin side of ebay sales! Edited by DMN 02/04/2025 12:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
