What kind of a serial numbers make it attractive to collectors of bills?
I know about series of numbers Eg:123456
And radar? 123321 is that right?
What else is there?what should I be looking for on the bills?
What about letters? is Eg: AAA good?
Cheers

I think some people collect "birthday bills" a serial number that could be a date.
06061944 might be June 6 1944.

A lot of collectors like replacement notes there are a few different variation so I am sure a quick surf on the web will identify the different ones

some indicators are

asterisks 1954 series
"X" as the third letter of the prefix.
1979 issues second number was a 1

AAA is nothing.

A note to look out for is the APM $5. It can be worth around $100 in Unc condition. (thats the only one I remember off the top of my head)

signatures makes or breaks the valve of old canadian notes and the different varietes like curved inward or outward curve like in the 1898 one dollar note.Often the number of notes printed will bring the value up.
