    Cazkaboom One for all, all for me.

    Found a cool serial number on a $1 bill: L6222232D D Series 2009. Circulated, Is it worth anything? I think it is cool. Should I keep it or spend it?

    Me? I'd spend it. But its cool to you, so keep it until you don't think its cool anymore.

    I'd keep it, it's a cool number and only a dollar.

    I'd keep it. It's a trinary. I have lots of notes with very similar serial numbers that I just keep for fun.

    It is an unlisted error variety. The serial number only has 7 digits.

    I noticed that as well but I assumed the 'D' at the end meant something to go along with a fancy serial number. What is the 'D' supposed to be?

    I've seen the term "trinary" before but I'm not sure what it means. Three repeating numerals? How much value would this add to a note?

    A Binary note is a serial number that only consists of 2 digits. For an example: L 11221122 D. The numbers of this could be mixed in different ways too such as L 12112112 D. Similarly, a Trinary note is where the serial number consists of 3 digits. L 12323123 D is an example of a trinary. While binaries are obviously far more desirable, some people, like myself, collect both.

    I'd keep it since it is only on a $1 and not on a $20 or $50

    What do you guys think about XF+ $20 IG 30383830 E? I don't really have the $ to keep it but is it something I should go out of my way for to keep? I could possibly find a way to keep it... Maybe. Please help me soon though as I need to get this $ deposited into my bank account like now. Thanks in advance for any help on the issue. Would you trade a F-VF 2006 $20 * from a high print run?: IF 04479395 *? I already have 2 other Atlanta '06 $20 stars but they are fromthe first run of 320k...

    Spend — Other than a trinary serial number, what's special about the note?

    Repeater: 30383830.

    A repeater is "3038 3038" — I don't think "3038 3830" is a repeater.

    repeater or no-repeater I would keep such numbers just because I think they are cool.

    It's a spender.
    The serial number isn't so spectacular, that it would warrant being saved. Especially, if you need the money. If it were a small denom note, yeah, sure, hang onto it, but not a $20.

    Let it go, and don't give it a second thought. :)

    To each his own but a "trinary" having any additional value is a reach.

    People are attracted to all kinds of serial number variations, and I wouldn't disagree about keeping a note that you like! Collecting paper money is part technical and part aesthetics — If you like a note, then keep it!

    sometimes sort-of-repeater numbers have aesthetic appeal to me. like 28606060 and 48482424

    I found this one today. Do you still consider this a RADAR with the 2 preceding Zeros and only one at the end?
