So I bought this note last night... (sellers photos) Fancy serial number with all of the following designations: True Binary (zeros and ones only) Radar Repeater Rotator and my own made up designation... Scrambled Double Quads As far as uniqueness I think it's right up there with all of the best ones. By my calculations there can only be two with all of the following designations for an entire print run (no matter how large the run). The other combination being 01100110. It is to my understanding that the BEP skips a lot of numbers. So maybe it's possible that many print runs don't have both (or none)??? Then when you take into account that it is of high grade also (65 EPQ), it makes me wonder if this could be the highest known grade of this kind (???). My biggest concern is that it won't be truly appreciated when I list it for sale (which I plan on doing as soon as I receive it). It doesn't quite stand out in the "coolness" factor as much as Low, Solids or Seven of a kind do. Anyway, what do you all think?
Wow! This serial matches the $1 2001 L10011001* that I let my NH friend have. He would love it! Great Note...
I mentioned the same thing about a note a week ago with the number seven. That note had sevens and zero's in it's serial number with the Federal Reserve Bank being from Chicago. Overall, the Chicago note was a twelve to one chance for that to happen. Endeavor's is a four to one chance; 1-10-11.
MK 10011001A (The M signifies the series [2013], the K signifies the FED district, and the A is the block). The second block letter (K) is for Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, the eleventh FED district. You're note has 1's on the edge and and 11 in the center. Steve was pointing out that the matching district adds to its coolness.
I didn't realize at first that it was a continuation on the play on numbers. After I read saltysam's post I realized it. It is pretty cool and glad that it was pointed out to me by you guys. Thanks fellas.
As it turns out, the $1 FRN sent to NH had Sn 00010010 and 00010011. To add the the info Bucepalus wrote, it is from sheet #11,001 out of 200,000.
Do any of the rare serials ever make it to circulation? Or are they removed at some part of the production or distribution chain because of their great value? I am quite curious about this because I once had a BEP strap that had one unique serial number removed from the pack.
Good question. I don't know the answer. Perhaps @SteveInTampa or @techwriter could answer that. I suppose that would be good and bad if they did. Good cause the notes get saved from the wear and tear of circulation. Bad cause the population of those notes in high grade are higher.
I'm not sure what the BEP holds back or pulls from distribution. There was a time when they pulled notes ending in 9999 and 0000, and replaced them with stars. That's why some packs would be consecutive through these 2 serial numbers and then 2 stars would appear in there place. I recently saw a pack of 2009A $100 star notes serial numbered 00000001*-00000100*. This pair of notes would typically be pulled and replaced with stars.
