I found 2 fairly crisp (very very slight fold in middle) 2006 $1 notes with consecutive serial numbers today. I'm going to keep them anyway, because at the very least, they're a cool example of the new bills, but I was wondering if they actually have a collectible value? The serial numbers are not unusual, and they are not star notes. Also, one has the number 1 on the back, and the other has the number 4. I thought that was odd, too. I know it's not an error, but why are the little reverse numbers so different on consecutively numbered bills? Thanks in advance for any help!
Well BigH..I would say just worth a buck each..no real collectable aspect for a 2006 note unless it is an error. Happy spending.. RickieB
Ah, well, I thank you for your reply, but as I said, I see no reason to spend them, unless I got too many and all my money was tied up in them, but I don't see that happening in the near future, since bills are sort of just a time-filler in between searching coins. As I'm sure everyone here knows, I'm am an addament believer in the 'keep what you like' philosiphy, and since I only paid face value for them, I won't be out anything (unless the U.S. dollar continues the way it has been). Regardless, thanks for the reply and answer!
A great way to get consec's is by going to your bank teller and asking for new bills that they have. I some times get stars that way as well... Good Luck BigH... RickieB
Oh, I didn't know that. I didn't think that would work, because I thought they were printed in big blocks with a number in the middle changed. I'll have to try that technique. So far, I haven't paid over face value for anything in 4 or 5 months, except junk silver and a widow's mite I couldn't resist.
You know, maybe I'll shoot for 2 consecutive notes from every federal reserve brach. Can you request bills from certain branches at the bank, or is it just the luck of the draw?
