Bank Note Fancy Serial Numbers - Premium Configurations Collectors Look For

Here's a quick listing of some sample currency serial number configurations.  Be sure to check your paper notes from change, the bank, and everywhere else you receive these at.  Additionally, be sure to check sites like eBay, Heritage, and reputable dealers with online albums to get a general idea of how much these uncommon and rare bank notes go for.  Without further adieu, here is your list of fancy number combos:

*Low numbers - I 00000025 G   generally anything under 500 is considered a low number and will get you a premium
*High numbers - I 99999975 G   again the same applies here, the more nines up to the first 6 is key
*Trinary           - I 62232626 G   not a huge premium for these, but they are neat and uncommon
*Binary            - I 27777272 G  
*Radar             - I 21155112 G   Tough to find and neat, dollar varieties sell for good money, lots of collectors for these notes
*Super Radar   - I 94444449 G   Super difficult to find and very collectible
*Solid 8           - I 88888888 G   Every digit is the same for all 8 numbers
*Solid 7           - I 44444544 G   7 of the digits are the same, not necessarily in a row
*7 in a row       - I 77777771 G   More of a premium and scarce, huge money to be made here
*Ladder           - I 12345678 G   Every digit is one higher or lower than the previous digit
*Repeater        - I 12371237 G   Second half of the serial number is the same as the first half
*Radar Repeat - I 60066006 G   Both are a radar and a repeater
*Binary Repeat - I 51515151 G   Extremely tough, the first two numbers repeat over
*Double Quad  - I 11114444 G   The first four digits are the same and the second four are the same

Aside from the fancy number notes, be sure to keep your eye out on star notes, red, blue and lime seals, and other older notes.  Have fun searching those cash straps and enjoy!
