<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dave_in_delaware, post: 2603248, member: 82414&quot;]I have some general questions I&#039;d like to ask everyone.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that anyone can go to their bank branch and have them order a pack of &quot;brand new&quot; $1, $2, $5, $50, whatever bills. Chances are they&#039;ll arrive in consecutive order (I know not always, but probably).</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as I know, the bank can&#039;t request a specific series (year) to be sent to them. So, most likely, it&#039;ll be the most recent series (say, 2013 for $2 bills)....</p><p><br /></p><p>So, are the brand new (recent) series of bills with consecutive SNs worth keeping? Or are they just spenders? I&#039;m going on the assumption (yes, I know) that since anyone can order a pack of bills from the bank and they&#039;ll probably get the most recent series, this isn&#039;t collectible unless they hold onto them for 100 years. </p><p><br /></p><p>Which brings me to my next question: how &quot;old&quot; does the series need to be before they&#039;re keepers instead of spenders?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, how <i>many</i> consecutive SN bills are worth keeping? Obviously if someone has a complete &quot;set&quot; of 50 or 100 consecutive bills then they&#039;d be keepers (assuming they&#039;re older and worth keeping in the first place). But what if there are only 2 bills with consecutive SNs? Or 5? Is that small &quot;set&quot; worth keeping?</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, I have these consecutive $2 bills so far:</p><p><br /></p><p>(50) Series 2013 (L 09118051-100 A)</p><p>(73) Series 2013 (L 09107501-73 A)</p><p>(3) Series 2009 (D 12563090-92 A)</p><p>(2) Series 2003A (C 04598766&amp;67 A)</p><p>(2) Series 1995 (F 23414832&amp;33 B)</p><p>(2) Series 1976 (C 15568096&amp;97 A)</p><p>(2) Series 1976 (C 11896059&amp;60 A)</p><p><br /></p><p>They&#039;re all in very good and &quot;crisp&quot; shape. I also have others but their condition is slightly less desirable (one character on bill is always circled on 5 bills, or strong crease down center of 3 bills, etc).</p><p><br /></p><p>Please let me know which are keepers and which are spenders.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you! As always, your knowledge and opinions are much appreciated![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
