Message:: [QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 3382507, member: 57463"]Nice note!  I would hang on to it. Keep your eyes open for others.  The nay-sayers here really have a narrow viewpoint. Numbers are as interesting as you make them. As MPCUSA said in a different thread on the same topic of a note that others said to spend, it is a good poker hand and people play "Liar's Poker" with dollar bills.  We did that one night at our coin club with the prizes just being the usual door prizes, but it was nice to see the arrays that people found. (The rules were you had to find in circulation since the previous meeting.) Every serial number is unique. Start with that. People go ape over 07041776 or 04071776 and so on. But there is story, I think that it was Srinivas Ramanujan and G. H. Hardy, a couple of mathematicians, and I am sorry not to know it exactly but it was like "I have your train ticket old man... Hmmm... not a very interesting number."  "Oh, but of course it is! 4272066!  See: 20.66 is the square root of 427."  It depends on your relationship with numbers. <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/need-help-with-special-serial-numbers-project.333671/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/need-help-with-special-serial-numbers-project.333671/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/need-help-with-special-serial-numbers-project.333671/</a>[/QUOTE]
