found a 2009 $20 bill with the serial number 11333600. is this worth more than its face value? edit: it might be 33311600. i dont have it with me right now
I don't think they are worth more by the book, but I do know there are collectors that want interesting serials and will pay premiums for. You can find some pretty cool ones on eBay, actually. I know some of the more desirable ones to people who collect serial variations are ones that only consist of 2 different numbers, like a 12121212 or 11112222 for example. Sometimes people will also pay over face value for a 'RADAR' serial, for example: 12344321 or 67899876. The coolest one I've come across out of my pocket is a $1 with the serial 19999912, which I thought about putting on eBay, but ended up just hanging on to. Hope this helps a little to answer your questions
edit: 44411600 in the past all the bills with odd serials i've tried to sell have ended up being face value, so i thought i'd ask before i tried to sell it. i had a 2001 $50 with the serial 00007074, a 2006 $10 with 00077787, but i took them to 2 LCS, and they said that they wernt interesting enogh
The $50 and $10 bills should definitely sell for more than face value because they have low serial numbers. Most coin shops aren't interested in paper currency like that unless they're really old bills or rare star notes. They usually don't care about new bills. Just sell your bills on ebay and you will get a decent price for them depending on the condition they're in. Your $20 bill might sell but not for much over face. Just depends on finding the right buyer.
I tend to disagree. Most currency collectors don't tend to see much of a premium unless the serial number has 5 leading 0s. So, a serial like 00000571 would be considered low. Once the serial gets larger than 00000999, the appeal drops significantly.
i already spent the ten and the fifty is folded into fourths in my wallet i dont have paypal or a credit card so that makes it a little bit difficult to sell the notes on ebay
I would just spend the $50. Like I said before, that serial isn't that desirable and if it's not CHCU (and since it's folded, it's not) there really isn't value there. Typically, the larger denomination notes are harder to sell anyway since they have so much money already in face value. If this was a $1 note, maybe the right buyer would give you $2...but with a $50 I just don't see any profit there. Personally, I wouldn't even consider it as the serial really isn't low enough.
