    Hi! I'd like to flesh out my tiny collection of $1 FRN's with examples of bills I find in circulation.

    So far I have:
    STAR - B06600254 *
    RADAR - F 10122101 G
    LOW SERIAL # - G 00011968 * :smile
    MULTIPLE ONE DIGIT - G 66660676 C (does this have a name?)

    What else is there? Is there a site with a list?
    HIGH SERIAL #
    LADDER - how many numbers to be considered a ladder?
    REPEATER - like 46464646?

    This is strictly a "from circulation" collection. Exotic errors or anything costing more than $1 is out.

    Thanks in advance for any info you can provide! :hail:

    There are two types of "real" repeaters: 4 digit and 2 digit.

    4 digit is: 12341234
    2 digit is: 12121212

    Highest serial number depends on denomination and series. For current series less than $50, the highest is 96000000, so anything that's 9599 is a high number. Older series (and higher denominations) can have 99200000, 99840000, or 99999999 as the highest.

    A ladder is ever increasing/decreasing series. 12345678 would be a ladder, so would 76543210. These would be true ladders. Stuttering ladders (or so I call them) would be like 12344456, 09877655, or 00012345. "Skipping ladders" is where you miss a number (or two) like 01235678. I consider 09877555 as a skipping, stuttering downladder (and I own one with this exact number). Note that some people disregard any leading zeros, so 00012345 would be a perfect ladder to them.

    (Or what I'm trying to say, ladders seems to have varying definitions.)
