Found: A Five Digit Repeating Serial Number "6"

Everything is collectible because there is a collector for everything! A little-known collector's item is unusual serial numbers on US notes. So I began keeping my eyes open for unique serial numbers, things like sequential (123456...) or repeating.

I looked down at my change from the grocery store and noticed the same number "6" repeating over 5x as the first five numbers. That's not something you see every day! Also, it has the number "6" written four more times in the corners - making contain the number "6" 9x on the front of this note.

The bill is mostly uncirculated, although there are a few folds in the note, it's still crisp and new.

On eBay, they're called "fancy" serial numbers. Some (actually most) sell for face value, but a few that are extra "fancy" can be worth considerably more. Interestingly, a very similar note sold on eBay for over 6x it's face value!

What do you think, could I sell this dollar I found for some profit? Would it be worth the time and effort to try to get some CASH for this cash?

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations. Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.

Sort:  

There can only be 1000 of them.
I'd think 001 would draw some attention, but your's is just as rare as the one that sold.

I have a low serial number bill also. If this one does well, maybe I can sell that too.

I think the number that appeared so many times is an evidence of the value if the cash. Maybe it will multiply more with time.

Maybe... or maybe I should sell it now and the buyer can hope for that. :-)

Hahahaha,👍

It's good note. I think you can get the equivalent of 30oz of silver !

That would be awesome. If I get that much cash for it, I'd go straight to my coin dealer and load up. :-) "I'll buy THAT for a dollar!"

That seems suspicious and goes against the law of big numbers.

The probability for a repeating number is so low, that's what makes it valuable. It's very unusual to find a serial number like this.

I didnt consider that aspect of it. Thanks for explaining. !LUV

Somebody will buy it

I hope so!

There truly are collectors for everything, and some of the things they collect can be weird! Pretty cool bill, never dawned on me that repeating numbers would be of value, live and learn!

Yes, it's something I've just learned recently.

That’s interesting 🧐 cool find.

Thanks, I thought so too. It would have been so easy to spend it like it's nothing.

You are welcome, yes… indeed. I would save such things as one doesn’t see them often.
Have a lovely day today 👋🏻😊
!LUV

Hahaha, if you find "888" I'll buy it!
Nice!

This is Canadian.

But you want USD.

Canadian money is so colorful!

An uncirculated note makes it worth more.
I hope to sell this note to a Chinese collector as the colors are associated with the Chinese New Year and that 8 is considered the Asian lucky number.

I sold a book end with lots of threes once. Got $13.00 for it! Hey 13X ain’t bad. I assume the really rare ones like all same number or first ones with mostly zeros are not released and taken early in process to be sold. But yea there’s a collector for everything indeed! Cheers friend

Ben...I do the same thing. Every now and then I find one that is cool. Never thought about selling one though! IF you do try to sell one or more make sure to do a post about it! :-D
