Message:: [QUOTE="MatrixMP-9, post: 3111165, member: 93422"]Ive been having fun with coins the last few months but never paid much attention to bills. I had to withdrawl $1,500 today and I was sitting there with all those $20s, I decided to look for anomalies. Ya, to my untrained eye, it took a whole 5 minutes because I really have no clue what to look for. I know to look at the quality of the bill which is kind of common sense, I looked for * notes and then any serial number that was "different". So I found 2 bills that passed my extremely weak criteria. I found a 1999 $20 that stuck out like a sore thumb in the group because it was whiter than Flanders from the Simpsons. It looked and felt pretty crisp and looked odd without the security features. The serial number...odd enough...the end was XX3071962 which is the date the Beatles made their very first broadcast on the BBC. The other bills was a $20 2013 series and was pretty low (I thought) with a serial 00009027. Is that low enough to matter? It was actually really fun looking through them. Funner (is that a word?) than coins only because I dont feel the need to bust out a scope. Being that I am going to have to withdrawl a couple grand every two weeks, I figure its going to give me something to look forward to by searching these a little bit. Any comments or suggestions? I can post pictures but I didnt want to muddy up the post with pictures of "nothing".[/QUOTE]
