<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tbudwiser, post: 1270478, member: 32774&quot;]Don&#039;t be sorry last time I checked this site wasn&#039;t based off of &quot;hood gangs&quot;. Got enough of those in my lovely Sacramento neighborhood <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Anyhow to answer yoyr question:</p><p><br /></p><p>Certain serial #&#039;s that are printed are less common than a regular serial #. Here are some highly reguarded examples of some serial #&#039;s:</p><p><br /></p><p>Radar. A radar is a bill where you can read the serial # either way and it comes out the same. This is the example that this thread was initially based off of; you can imagine that such a similar serial # is only printed so often. Less often enough to deman higher premiums (under the right condition, maybe like XF+).</p><p><br /></p><p>Ladder. These notes usually come with higher premiums. A ladder note is where you read the serial # and the numbers consecutively go up or down such as : 123456789 or 987654321. You also have step ladders: 494847464, it goes from 49-46 as seen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Binary&#039;s are notes which serial #&#039;s only contain 2 digits: 121212121. With binaries, you also have less popular, trinaries. These notes serial #&#039;s contain 3 digits 123123123. I collect both.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally (of the basics at least), you have Solids or near solids. These are probably that of the rarest collectible serial #&#039;s of all. A solid note, simply as it sounds, is a note that only uses 1 #: 333333333. A near solid would look something like this: 444444440. Since a near solid uses 2 digits, it too is a binary.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this info helps; picture all the $ out there being printed and then picture out of all of it, how are would it be to find notes with these serial #&#039;s...</p><p><br /></p><p>I almost forgot, I&#039;d like to take this oppertunity to also correct your knowledge on one of the most common forms of collectible US paper currency: Star notes as you probably know are notes with an aftertisk * at the end of the serial # instead of a alpha letter. These are notes which went through one of the following cases: 1) (most common) the bill was incorrectly printed and did not meet BEP standards. Think of it as an error note (if you know what that is) that didn&#039;t make it out to circulation. It was caught by the BEP Electronic eye, the whole sheet was discarded and a new sheet was printed to replace it. This sheet would have different serial #&#039;s as well as an aftertisk at the end so it could be easier for the BEP to keep track of error examination. 2) Testing. From occasion to occasion, the government has use star notes to preform testing. I don&#039;t know more about that aspect of star notes that that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps you!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
