Serial Number Hunt: What is a cool serial number?

I search through $50 in ones for serial numbers, and talk about what constitutes a cool serial number. I get this question a lot on my Facebook group and it deserves an answer!

I think where most people get confused is with the difference between a cool serial number and a rare serial number. A cool number is one that speaks to you where as a rare one is a serial number that is very uncommon to find. Your star notes at 2:32 and at 4:06 are always cool notes to find and have the potential to be rarer notes depending on how many were in the print run or if they were part of the duplicate errors. Always enjoy seeing what others find in their searches. GD

Having a bill "speak to you" is a great way to put a cool bill! And good point about the stars. I've heard other collectors say that with print run size "it depends" but I have run across some of the duplicate stars!

The BEP is no longer making Star Notes as replacement notes, so, could be worth hanging onto as many as possible.

@@collectingonthecheap56353 Interesting! I found a 2023 article that talks about new equipment that will not produce the star notes, but the traditional equipment will continue to print them. They do seem a bit endangered though!

Yep, definitely a difference between a fancy serial number, and a cool serial number. I save some of each. If one strikes your fancy, why not hang onto it. On the collecting side, there really is not a set of rules, that becomes more of a seller or dealer issue.

Exactly!

Try getting a stack of $2.00 bills and search those, I haven’t seen anyone else do it. Your channel will grow over time, keep up the good work.

Hey, thanks for the encouragement! That's a good idea. I'll ask for $2s the next time I go to the bank.
