I'm not sure but that's neat! Looks in good condition. I wonder how many bills are made with no two digits being the same.
Obviously. I've heard of a site where you can enter a number and it would rate it's rarity/coolness factor, but I haven't found it.
It actually works out to about 1.8% of all bills. So not exactly common as dirt, but much more common than something like a radar serial (0.01% of all bills). If you want the math: To make all the digits different, the first digit can be anything (10 choices), the second digit can be anything different from the first digit (9 choices), the third digit can be anything different from the first two (8 choices), and so on until the 8th digit has only 3 choices. So the number of possible serials with all different digits is 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 = 1,814,400 and if you divide that by the total 100,000,000 possible serial numbers, you get 1.8%.
From an internet article: (there goes the 1 in 45 mill chance) Serial Numbers Serial numbers printed on dollar bills are not unique to each bill. A bill's serial number comprises a starting letter, followed by a series of numbers and an ending letter. The starting letter indicates the Federal Reserve Branch that printed the bill. The ending letter tracks how many times the specific series of numbers were used. A specific series of numbers can be used 26 times -- once for each letter of the alphabet. Bills are printed in sheets of 32 with identical serial numbers. The serial number of a dollar bill is found in two locations on the front of the bill -- upper right section and the lower left section.
But there are usually 99,999,999 notes of each letter of the alphabet. Meaning if there were 26, there would still be a 1 in 45 million chance.
Although there are only 2 BEP locations, don't they print notes for different Federal Reserve locations in the US using the same serial #'s for the different locations? Just wondering how this works. I've seen on Ebay 3 different dollar bills with the same serial #'s on them but had different corner numbers and different federal reserve bank locations on the seal.
So if there are 12 different Federal Reserve Bank locations that get same serial numbered notes from the BEP shouldn't your numbers be multiplied by 12??
I don't know where this came from but it is wrong. First, any given number can appear 312 times. 12 fed letters X 26 suffix letters. Notes are not printed in 32 subject sheets with identical serial numbers. The numbers on a sheet are all different and will all be for the same federal Reserve bank.
