<p>[QUOTE="ashyblue, post: 2607764, member: 84157"]I can comment well on this one since I'm into the bills Fancy Serial numbers. The Serial number 1 is the most desirable , Serial number 2-9 are the second best, 10-99 are the third best , 100-999 are the fourth best ... anything more than 1000+ basically have no collection value. Yours being 226 is in the last category of collecting , but since it's a Gem note with the A series , you didn't do bad , The price you paid for the serial + condition and A block is fine , you can even sell it for a bit more on Ebay I suppose , Not a bad start and don't be disappointed. Something to mention ... If you buy a three digit serial , try to buy 123 or 321 ( a ladder up or down serial ) or a solid one such as 333 or 222 ... this way the bill would be worth much more though it's still in the last category but still very desirable. anything more than 1000+ don't bother to collect in term of only being a low serial number. These numbers are exception and are Highly desirable 00001000 , 00010000 , 00100000, 01000000, and the best of all 10000000 . Hope it helped. The last category I showed is also called True Binary ( though most true binaries can have more than one "1" in the serial )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
