    I want to thank you Drewde, SteveInTampa, and you Numbers for giving me a little cleardom in the world of currency collecting. I just got involved late last year and I made the assumption that later numbered serialized bills in the 9X,XXX,XXX range were sold as sheets after seeing my brother-in-laws series 1981A one dollar 32 bill(s) sheet. Also, had another 96,XXX,XXX $100 (still no star notes) last night in clean condition before it was called to duty at the casino. And I just notice that the series on the two I foto'd earlier on this forum is pretty blurred. I had used the usb microscope camera for the picture and missed catching that. And this twenty... still blurred... any tips on doing a clear acceptable shot? Thanks you's. Snapshot_20180429_1.JPG

    Hi Guys, I do not know anything about paper money nor do I collect it. I just came across a $50 note # ML 00045326 and was curious if anyone would be interested?

    I think if you go back and look at the early posts in this thread you'll see the general consensus is that a serial number needs at least four zeros before there's any interest. So yours is probably a spender.

    So I'm very new in the serial number area and I have been selling the notes I come across with fancy numbers etc.

    I was searching for the answer of what a "low" serial number would be considered. I see that the majority say 4 zeros is the starting point.

    I came across a 00000113 20 dollar bill (2013) so I'm assuming that could be in a collectors scope.

    Again I'm very new and so any input is awesome! =D

    Yes, that's definitely low enough to be of interest to collectors. I'll let someone else make a value estimate. It would be nice to see a photo! :)

    Again I'm very new so I'm not sure of whether it has to many creases or off centering or any of that so any information is fantastic!

    I'm not great at grading but that looks like around a VF. I would put it in a clear plastic sleeve to prevent damage.

    Technically that's not really low enough.
