Aside from star notes, radar notes, repeater notes... What are the other notes that should be collected and would have a higher value in the future? and Can you give me an example of a repeater note?... Thanks..
Banknotes that have numbers such as 1111111,6666666,8888888,& 1000000 are always very popular.Specimen banknotes are often sought after,especially those from British Commonwealth countries. Aidan.
If you are interested in Notes of the USA..I would suggest gettinga book and reading about them, then determine what you would like to collect and then go for it. There are many pre 1928 Notes that are available but also many modern notes are cool too. Look at Freeral Reserve Notes (Large Size) Treasury Notes (Large Size), Gold Notes, Fed Reserve Nat. Bank Notes...the list goeson and on...do not collect for the sole reason of investment..make the collection have reason for it's inception and set realistic goals. Good Luck!!

sounds like you're interested in finding notes from circulation that might be worth more than just face value. a repeater is just what it sounds like...the serial number repeats itself: 123123123, 0353535 radars go the same way back and forth: 03455430, 15788751 ladders go up: 1234567 reverse ladders go down: 987654 birthyears are also popular: 0001980, 00197400, 19670000 binary is technically just 1's and 0's, but some collectors don't care & any two #'s will do: 0101110, 4554544 there's the solids: 9999999 and super solids: I 9999999 (I is the ninth letter of the alphabet), 5E 55555, 3 3333333 high numbers: 999956 and anything with a low number or lots of zeroes: 000145, 0000008, 780000 basically...if a serial number has any kind of pattern or significance, chances are somebody out there is willing to pay $$$ for it. good luck!
Here is an example of a solid number from Canada in my collecction. A 1954 series ( Modified ) QEII Portrait $5. The matching solid 555555 with a $5 denomination does add to the premium. You can visit my website at http://www.notepassion.com/index-banknotes.html, to have a look at the other solid number banknotes from 40 over countries. Unfortunately, some of them have not been added and displayed in my website even though I have them in my collection. Beside solid numbers banknotes, you can go for world rare banknotes. One area of rarity in my region is the Straits Settlements banknotes. Top grades are usually expensive and difficult to find. The USA solid number is the most expensive among all the world solids. Early big USA solid take for example an 1899 Black Eagle $1 H11111111H can easily cost between USD$11,000 to USD$15,000 in today market. Paper money depend very much on the condition ( grading ) of the note, rarity and sometime popularity in term of designs, the country where the note come from. If a country is developed, strong economy, a large pools of collectors and dealers, most likely their banknotes market will be very strong. Both USA, Canada and UK have a strong collector market. In Asia, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore have a large pool of collectors. There are also relatively large number of collectors in Australia. Derrick See
Mule notes are actually easy to spot and very few people actually look for them. Notes printed in Fort Worth have a larger font for the back plate number. If a FW note has a small font for the back plate number or a Washington note has a large font for a back plate number, you have a mule note as the note was printed with a back plate intended for a different printing facility. A common mule note that surfaced years ago was a 1995 $1 from FW with a small font 295 back plate number. I actually managed to find several of those in circulation. Happy hunting.
Let me clarify, mule is a very large category of errors, my post was about a very specific type of mule that is easy to spot, but not noticable to the general public. An example of a dramatic mule would be a note with one denomination on the front and another on the back. An ATM stocked with brand new notes is about the only place a common person like me might ever find one of those. With the design changes, it is possible to have a mule where the front was printed with a new design, but the back printed with a design from the previous series.
