Banknote serial numbers

JeffH · December 09, 2016, 02:45:32 PM

I noticed a $5 2012 note the other day with a serial starting 12 345nnn. Since then I have seen a couple more 123..... and 1234....
It got me thinking -is it possible there are some notes (any denomination) from 2012 that could have the serial 12345678? I would imagine they would have been snaffled rather quickly if they hit circulation.
Has any one heard of such serials?

Also, yesterday, I received three $50 consecutive serials (and another just a few digits away) from 2009. Beautiful condition; is that another indicator of how slack Armaguard is in turning over stock? It would appear they have been in hiding for seven years before hitting circulation!

Check the PDF. Yes, $5, $10, $50 all had 345678 in 2012.

Collect the set.. I dare ya!

We all know Armaguard are slack. They still have a sack of Holey Dollars in the back of the vault somewhere. :diablo:

QuoteCollect the set.. I dare ya!

I would if I could but...where do I start? And what should I budget?

Was there a countdown in 1987? I don't recall the year being part of the prefix back then.

Quite interesting Jeff, I got about 10 consecutive perfect 2009 $50s back a few months ago. Unfortunately I had to use them.

Found a $50 EB13. The thing is the B is placed noticeably lower than the E and the numbers. Can someone explain what this is?

Similar to these except with a letter

Noelos237 · December 18, 2016, 01:04:13 PM

Yeah like that. Is my note worth anything above face (condition is not uncirculated but close).

gnome · December 18, 2016, 01:44:06 PM

Can you post a pic, please. It would probably be worth more than face value, unsure by how much. Haven't collected notes for awhile now, sorry.

Serial numbers are cool I bought these from a member a couple of months back. Nice First & last prefixes.
Thanks Peter

With this Pound note good numbers nothing really special, but I liked them enough.

To me, and this is just an opinion, it is a very minor drop. I probably wouldn't keep it.

Unicorn · December 19, 2016, 01:20:20 AM

Oddly enough this one dropped into my hands tonight showing the second 9 dropped, then I read Noel's post ...... how bizarre. Unfortunately it'll be going on bills tomorrow. :cray:

gnome · December 19, 2016, 12:27:45 PM

I have some pieces still, but not actively collecting them anymore.
Think this may have been the last one I bought awhile back.

Unicorn · December 19, 2016, 01:01:39 PM

That's a lovely one G!
