Is this a keeper or a spender?

Good morning everyone! This is actually my venture in US paper currency. I mostly collect coins, US coins to be exact. Anyway, I came across this 5 dollar bill after I exchanged several roll of pennies. I check the serial numbers of the bills I receive every now and then. This one kinda caught my eye. I need to buy a 100 feet speaker wire and I am short five bucks. So I need your opinion; should I save this or spend it? Looking forward for your comments, input and advice. The fate of my surround sound is in your hands. Thanks everyone.

My novice opinion: spend

 

Thanks! I showed it to my wife earlier and she got creeped out because of the 3 sixes. Told me to exchange it for half dollar or dollar coins instead.

 

Sorry, but no added value.

 

I actually just spent it to buy the speaker wire that I needed. I appreciate your input. Thanks

 

I noticed that the "Keep One/Drop One" thread was on page 666 and Devils were mentioned...ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

@Norman Asis , that's an eye catching serial number, but I see no value/premium over face.

 

Thanks for your comment. I did see something similar serial number on ebay last night.

 

People can put anything on ebay and ask outrageous prices. The bottom line there really is no active collector base willing to pay premiums for notes like this. The only ones that seem to have some collector value are solids (i.e., 22222222) low numbers 00000XXX, and ladders (12345678 etc). Some others like radar (24688642, etc), repeaters (24682468) and 7 of a kind have some value but usually only in higher condition.

 

Thanks. Best buy have possession of it already.

 

Unfortunately not fancy enough to get anything over $5, plus condition is a little
Rough on top of it.
