Don't know the name but isn't this a good serial #?

it's almost what they call a repeater

I saw a video where this man was saying to keep any paper bills with the last two digits double zero. But he did not specify precisely what that meant. So who knows for sure, considering the other numbers with the double zero I will keep it as long as possible just to find out for myself and one way to do that is to take the photos of it and send it in an email to American Rarities. Com. I think they might just be able to help you.

 

This is why you should be very careful watching YouTube videos. There is absolutely no reason for a note to be collectable just because it ends in 00. Sites like Coin Talk have experienced collectors that can accurate answers. The fact that the video guy didn't give an explanation is all you need to tell you that he doesn't know what he is talking about. Same with the get rich from pocket change hacks. They never tell you that the odds of finding one of the date coins is equivalent to hitting the lotto. The sad thing is when a new collector posts a question about there "treasure find" and then gets upset when they are told the truth.

Sorry for sounding off on this, but if you take the time to learn about numusmatics, and trust the consensus opinions from knowledable, experience members in sites like this, you'll never have to say "who knows for sure"

Hope this helps (time for me to step off the soapbox)

 

Lol ur fine

 

Lol, oh yes I will definitely say who knows for sure, probably for the rest of my life. I'm 54 and plan on living to be a hundred and thirteen, so I got a ways to go. I am experienced. I have seen people collect some of the most god-awful stuff on this planet. Crap that I wouldn't even dream about collecting but these people pay good money for it. So who knows for sure, until I find out. I would never give somebody a Pie in the Sky false hope. I forget his name, but he's from varieties and errors website. He loves two-dollar bills. Over and over in this video he talks about how he loves those bills. Me, unless they have an error mean nothing. But he went to the bank and ordered the BEP straps for $600 so he could give them away to people in birthday cards. So he spent $600 for something I wouldn't even think about. So who knows for sure

 

I watched the video and they say the United States $2 notes are rare because they're not being produced anymore and when they brought the $2 back in they changed the name to Federal reserve notes and that's what they make up until now and those aren't really worth anything except to give for tips to make people happy but they say that the United States notes with the red seal offer quite a bit more so here's the link

 

LOL yet again. Trust the consensus. Indians know better than to trust the consensus. I am not naive enough to do that. There is so much false information out there you have to find out for yourself by "several means". And I don't mean false information like they intentionally meant to mislead you, although there's a lot of that as well. I'm speaking of what information is given on a website, YouTube or in person sometimes that information is outdated and or other factors can make it false information. So, getting back to what's collectible. I used to work for a surveyor in Illinois who collected tombstones. He offered me hundreds of dollars or any Tombstone I could get him as long as it was in somewhat decent shape and readable. Of course I didn't do that. But he loved it. So all you people out there reading this just keep what you think could be collectible and find out through diligent research if somebody else will pay money for it. " who knows for sure"

 

@Spiritawahili I wasn't criticizing what people collect. I will never criticize another persons choice if it makes them happy. However, many times, new collectors will ask CT if they should save something because it may have value. My response was to clarify that your "you never know" response was not applicable to notes ending in 00 being valuable. They aren't and they won't be valuable based on the ending 2 digits.

As to trusting the consensus. As you continue reading the posts on CT you'll be able to judge who gives accurate and credible info about numismatics. I understand that when you're new to a group, it's hard to know who is knowledgeable, but it's my experience that there are number of CT members who really try to make sure that new collectors receive the right answers and correct any misinformation. Based on that, if you receive the same answer from 2 or 3 members (consensus), then you can be reasonably comfortable that it's a good answer.

If you hang around here, you're sure to increase you're numismatic knowledge. Best of luck

 

I agree completely I'm always telling my grandson when you do research you research until you're reading the same thing over again by different authors and then there's a very good chance that it could be real it could be what you think it is in information on states or people, places or things lol I tell him not to be lazy to put the work in lazy people get lazy inadequate results people that truly want to know will put the work in for whatever they're researching and nothing worth having ever comes very easy he's a pretty good kid he's real smart he's 11 but will see the threshold of puberty and going to 6th grade I don't know if I'll survive it I'd already raised my kids and here I am doing her again calgon take me away LOL yeah there I go showing my age
