None unfortunately. Looks like you're going for binaries or repeaters... but it's not horseshoes. Close doesn't count.

 

Thanks for the reply. I'm not really sure which is horseshoes mean but I'll loook into that. So binaries and repeaters isn't worth collecting ??

 

How abt this 100 bill ?

 

1. 22422488
2. 06699699
3. 02062002

 

1. 00086886
2. 55545545
3. 40440400

 

These are consider broken ladder. Is it worth to keep ?

 

1. 01870187
2. 56201265

 

Can it consider birthday star note ?

1. 04291246
2. 06101311
3. 05182566

 

This star note consider rare. But the condition not too good. Is it still worth to collect ??

 

I think the last 4 digits have to be either 19XX or 20XX to be considered "birthday" note.

 

Agree with other CT members' reply. Have to be binary, repeaters or ladders to be considered good (or fun) to collect. Just like this one in my collection:

 

This one is a "repeater" :01870187

You could keep it, but remember, Condition is very important with any collectable.

 

These two are binaries, but not the most popular binaries. The best binaries are with only 1s and 0s.

Horseshoes is a game in which 2 people throw actual horseshoes at a metal stick in the ground. If you get your shoe around the stick, it's called a "ringer". If no one gets a ringer, then whoever's shoe is closest to the stick scores.

That's why people use the expression of "It's not horseshoes" to say " You're close but not quite there".

There's another old expression that says " Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. ".

What we are saying is that most of your examples are close to what you think they are, but not quite there.

Except for the ones I pointed out : you have two binaries and one repeater.

 

The 06699699 is what is known as a Flipper Serial Number
If you flip the note upside down you can still read it as a serial number!

 

Look at the bills happy_collector shows us. You see how good the condition of those bills is?
The better the condition, the higher the possible value.

 

I missed that one!
