Where can I find a birthday note for my grand son without searching through stacks of notes and what kind of premium do they bring? He was born 8/23/2011 I have him a type coin set, but wanted to find a note with his birthday on it. Denomination isn't important I just want to get him one. Any help would be appreciated. Kent
My son's birthday is 8/23/2010. If someone finds a pack including a note for MKent, I will take the one before his.
I will keep out a look out for you, Kent. I will also look out for you too, lettow. Are you guys looking for specific conditions? Would they have to be brand new?
Well, 05/21/1996 would key for me, if anyone ever comes across one with that birthday serial number. The only birthday note I have is 02/09/2009. Series 2006 $1 L02092009G. I'd say its F+ if anyone is looking out for that date...
I don't collect paper money, but can you search eBay for serial numbers? Other than that, the only thing I can think of would be to contact some of the larger dealers in paper money. Chris
Taking a nice walk down to the bank and getting as much $1's (new or used) as you can is a great way of finding birthday notes, as it is for many other things. Especially when you can't really go wrong for face value. Even if I had an extra $1,000, I'd go down to the bank and grab all brand new $1's and see what special serial numbers, birthday notes, etc I could get. You have to imagine that after going through so many brand new $1's (especially if the whole pack of $1k is consecutive) you'd eventually have to come across something. Another good thing about going through a ton of brand new consecutive $1's is just by looking at the starting serial number of the pack, you will know if something down the line will be good or not. If you see a dollar bill on the front of the back that says: 'L55555501G', for an instance, you can take a good guess what you might find in that particular pack of $1's. To date, I have found 2 radars when looking at the beginning of a brand new pack. Just by seeing the start, you know eventually one will be a radar, or whatever it is you are looking for.
