Banknote serial number

[b_j_w_79]

Hi all,

Here is a $50 notes I got yesterday in change. The top left serial number has a 'fat 5'. Is this common? What causes it? Is it worth keeping? I'm not into collecting many notes but I'm interested in finding out so more about them!

Thanks in advance :icon_e_wink:

I've seen a few FAT numbers in serials, but passed on the temptation. I had one with a 9 one day where the base of the 9 was almost touching the circle. If it was touching it I would have kept it, but it wasn't so just another nearly note.

If it's the sort of thing you like, then so be it.

I collect random serials, you can collect random FAT serials!

Well done with the fat  '5'.  I will have to check all my note now.  I never thought of giving them any specially attention.

Thanks for the heads up BJW
