Any Lesser Known but Interesting Serial Numbers?

    I know that many paper note collectors like to seek out serial numbers with nice patterns or early sequences (e.g. 99999999, 00000001, etc.).

    But, are there any other, less common serial number sequences that you like to collect? I know that other number sequences such as what I'm asking for may be more of a niche thing, where you can collect whatever you like. However, I'm getting at numbers such as 31415926, if you catch my drift. What other sequences do you like to collect, or what other ideas for number sequences do you have?

    Thanks in advance!

    I don't get your drift either. I see nothing special about the number you listed. Please explain.

    Those are the first 8 digits of pi, I suppose a mathematician or other scientist could come up with a lot of significant constants in their particular field and collect them. Maybe a series of 100 notes, each containing the *next* 8 digits of pi, so you could line them all up....

    I think that number is Pi...right?? (Hope I didn't just make an @** of myself)

    Ok, but the average person would not know that. I ran your number on the coolness index and it's below 85%. Look for repeaters, radar notes, low numbers, etc. but pi, how many people know that?

    But IMO, the first 8 numbers of pi is popular but uncommon enough as an interesting sequence; whereas, other methods of lining up numbers would be too far-fetched to strike the interest of most collectors.

    Another interesting one would be, say, a particular date. Say, a WWII era 1944 note with the number sequence 06061944. I'd think that sequence and the pi would still bring in a premium, but one may have to mention it, otherwise it may be overlooked altogether by many folks.
