Strap-stackers post your results.

I buy cell phones locally and resell them internationally. I normally wouldn't take singles because then I'd have to run them down to the bank and get them switched real fast because I am always buying and selling constantly and no one wants to be paid in $1's. This is how I always have cash to go through straps with.

Ok.

It was a joke.

 

Is there any way to have a birthday note matcher? I have found a couple and thought it would be cool to have one for my birthday, but it just seems crazy unlikely that someone would find one and actually post it here. So anybody who would want a note for their birthday would post their birthday dates and then if you found a birthday note you could just check and see if it matches?

 

Oh I know. I just thought I'd explain why someone like me whom adores searching through $1's wouldn't want to be paid in $1's. That's all.:yes:

 

Found a nice $1 L10000019E but I'll probably just end up spending it. That was a good find on the 1974 E-E btw, tbud.

 

Spending it?? More like selling it to me! Lol Thanks, I was happy with it.

 

I figured someone would want it which is kind of why I posted about it on here. The note is yours, lol.

 

That's cool.

I can see how that might be a little inconvenient.

 

Got a 1934C $10 today when picking up some coins. It's not in that great of shape but is the oldest $10 I have now.

 

I went through one strap of $5's and I was surprised to find 3 consecutive 2003A FD-A's. FD06606307A-09. Gee, I wonder what happened to 06. I barely missed it.

 

I went to my favorite strap searching town today. This town has 3 key features; First, I always fine at least 1 $1 from the '70s. Secondly, I always do really well. Third of all, I always end up spending more then I had in mind on bills there. Curse Davis, California! Haha (Go UCD Aggies!!! ;p)

Here are my results:
1977A $1 I-B
1988A $1 G-E
1993 $1 F-B
1995 $1 J-P
1995 $1 C-F
1999 $1 L-*
2003A $1 L68266668M
2006 $1 L77555556P
2006 $1 B77447677I
2009 $1 H29922629A
2009 $1 L16636366B

I asked one of the tellers if they happened to have any small head $5's or $10's, and she said no but she had 2 $20's. I really didn't want to spend so much, but I really just couldn't resist. So I ended up with a 1977 $20 G-A and a 1977 $20 G-D.

Not a bad day at all.

 

Went through $250 in 1s today. I had several near misses on radars and repeaters. The only keeper was one 2006 star...

 

1985 $1 B-A, E-J
1988A $1 B-R
1993 $1 H-B
1995 $1 B-D, B-J, D-F, D-K, D-Q, I-G
1999 $1 B-B, D-C, E-H, K-A, L-E
2003A $1 B 00002601 K, F-*, E-*
2009 $1 2x D-*
1990 $100 K-A (VF-XF)

 

Excellent catches! Do you save all '99s??

 

Yea, at this point I am.

 

Today while dumping my coins ,I got back a $5 with an interesting serial and i thought i should ask you folks if it's worth anything before i spent it-IE39334445A series 2006,circulated.

 

Spender in my book.

 

Hi guys, I'm a complete noob at paper currency collecting. Its possible that this question has been asked and answered before, I know people ask the same questions over and over on the roll-searchers coin forum, but why are you keeping these notes? What do you guys look for when strap-searching? I understand anything old, star notes, and cool serial numbers (repeating, radar). Why for example did you keep this "1993 $1 H-B" Thanks.

 

Agree. Too bad that 9 wasn't a 3, it would have been a semi-cool ladder!

 

That's a good question. I personally get these notes as a way to save money. For an instance, I recently sold my collection to a wealthier relative and I used that money to open my business and now I am making payments on my collection and I already have most of it back. I put mostly everything I get in straps in my safe. I guess I'm hoping that someday they'll br worth over face. If not, worst case scenario, I end up selling it again later down the road to finance another business or furthermore expand the one I am already into. For me, there would be no other way to save money. I always end up compulsively spending it. That's just me, I'm pretty sure other members on here with have different plans and ideas for their hoards.
