Another Treasure from the Box: Low Serial Number 00007100

This is a note that I found in my wallet. I remember glancing at it back in the early 2000's and seeing all the zeros. I thought it was an interesting novelty, figuring it must be pretty rare.

It would have been so easy to buy some tacos with this note, but I'm glad I stuffed it away in the box instead.

The demand for low serial number notes is not huge, but looking on ebay, they do sell. If you have a STAR note, it's more preferable, but higher denominations like 10's and 20's seem to do better.

I found this one with ONE ZERO worth 5x face value. I would figure a note with FOUR ZERO's should be worth considerably more.

Why does it make them special???

People collect all sorts of odd things, numbers are especially important to some people. Collectors will sometimes pay top dollar (!LOLZ) for unusual serial numbers and such.

Thank you for the curation!

Super cool! I need to look at my money and see if any of it is a low number.

The $10 Banknote is a palindrome serial (RADAR) number, same number forwards and backwards, a different yet popular note collectors theme. I used to hang/troll a Canadian banknote collectors club.
With Canadian notes the valuable low serial numbers are those under 0001000.

palindrome

Ah, so that's why it's value is so high. I didn't catch that. Anyone who deals with a lot of cash bills is playing the lottery, if they're paying attention. I bet all sorts of interesting number combinations show up, just have to pay close attention. Hidden treasures!

Correct, Serial number collecting is a bigger following that I originally thought.
Solid numbers like 88888888 are hugely sought after by Asian collectors in particular. Ladders like 12345678 and 87654321 are also collectable. There are a variety of number permutations as well. But condition is still the top criteria.
Really tough would be matching serial numbers of different denominations.

I should pay close attention to the numbers! Never know what we might find.

Here's a tough one most people miss.
Mismatched serial numbers, the left serial number that doesn't match the right number on the same banknote. Error category, that's another animal.
Good Luck @ironshield

That is an interesting concept and it reminds me of the print number on NFTs. I don't really consider it that important but I have seen people bid things up then.

I see notes selling for large amount of money. If it's numbers that are the same, like 3 in a row !
