That's something that happens when it's scanned.. must be threads in the paper or something... sometimes the area behind the portrait gets all metallic looking as well. Not sure why

 

yours has a better cool factor though.

 

first up is 3 digit bookends ALMOST binary. 2nd is 2 digit bookends ALMOST binary. 2 ALMOST super repeaters. 95 $10. followed by more pain.

 

My almost bills from today's cash at the store... The hundred would have been perfect crisp too.

 

Wow that's alot of ALMOST

 

How valuable would several consecutive 100 dollar bills be? CU., say 6 in a row?

 

Unless they have cool/fancy serial #'s or really old they are worth face value. You can check to see if they are cool at www.coolnumbers.com

 

Suspected as much.

 

I have seen this before and it confuses me.

If ur odds of being struck in your life are 12,000 to 1 then why wouldnt twice by 144 million to 1 (12,000*12,000).

Where is my logic wrong here ?

 

I think every comment breaks some sort of rule here. In fact Im sure what I just said it against the rules.

 

Almost.

Not in great shape but I kept it. Figured it was worth a small premium

 

Found a 2013 $1 with F68646667F

 

11 measly digits off from a nice ladder radar.... Almost.

 

I think the bill with the 7 1's still qualifies as a fancy serial number.

 

Spend them on silver.

 

Well, I don't know much about lightning strikes, so I can't be sure this is the right explanation, but.... Mathematically, it's probably taking into account the fact that some people are just more likely than others to get struck by lightning (because they work outdoors or whatever), so if you've been struck by lightning once, then that identifies you as somebody who's probably more likely to be struck by lightning than the average person. Then your chance of being struck by lightning *again* isn't 1 in 12,000 any more, but apparently 1 in 750, if these figures can be trusted.

On the other hand, it could just be another case of inaccurate nonsense getting spread around the internet. Like I said, I don't know enough about lightning strikes to judge the plausibility of these figures.

 

I just realized I put a bookend back into circulation today. It had a 3-number sequence on either end; I thought it had to be only 2... Woops

 

This is mildly interesting

Off to be spent with you!

 

A small premium? well maybe since the condition isnt exactly the best but it being a true binary almost solid you might get a bit more than a small premium
