bvalania Valued Member United States 458 Posts	Posted 02/25/2010 12:45 pm I know how to identify the following types of notes; star, web, Barr, binary, bookend, solid, ladder, silver/gold certs, red seal, and my favorite error notes. Are there any other types to check for? I'm still new to collecting as it's highly addictive. Just want to make sure I'm not putting anything else back in circulation that I should be holding onto. Thanks in advance for any info. Report this Post to the Staff

karrlot Pillar of the Community United States 535 Posts	Posted 02/26/2010 7:19 pm Basically anything interesting with the numbers. Sometimes you can find 'birthday bills' where you can make a date out of the numbers. The problem with those is that you have to find the person with that birthday. Any bill with more than three leading zeros is considered a low number. Any number that is higher than 96000000. For the most part any $1 bill higher than that number was not released for general circulation, it would have been sold as a special mint set. High block letters (the letter after the serial number) usually anything higher than P can be sold on wheresgeorge.com. Some people collect trinarys - a bill with only three unique digits. But I don't think you'd be able to get anyone to buy them from you. One time I found a bill that was one digit off from my phone number. Report this Post to the Staff

It doesn't cost anything, you don't have to sign up for anything (unless you want) and you don't get spam. People are tracking the bill to find out where it goes. Report this Post to the Staff
