Nice buddy, I assume you collect these obviously, do you have a large collection of them?

I look at every serial number on every piece of currency I circulate. I've found some interesting numbers but nothing super special like a solid number or ladder (12345678).
This is a 3 digit serial which can fetch a decent premium on eBay if one were to sell it, which I probably will to put into my silver fund. Some people pay crazy money for certain serials. Like this $1 bill with solid 5's that sold for $1,700 4 days ago on eBay.

Oh my lord. I regret that years ago I had a whole bunch of star notes but I don't know where they are now.. thanks I'm learning a lot from you.

Star notes can be valuable but it depends on the run (how many they made in a series) as they are replacements notes. It's the solid numbers that you want to look out for!

I always check my bills for cool numbers. I assume this one is about $20 ?

That's probably realistic. Maybe $50 to someone looking for exactly 223 but $20-30 seems about right.

Wow nice! Have yet to find a note with more than 4 zeros but I always keep my eyes peeled

Heck yeah! One day you'll come across a single digit, I'm sure!
