Found this low serial number at work the other day. Basically as high of a low serial number you can have to consider it “low”. Probably has a premium of $1. Still it’s the second lowest serial number I’ve found I believe.
Found this bill today at work. Just had an hour left of my shift but luckily something finally came through. Not a true binary but a binary at the least.
Found this cool bill at work today. A cool $5 with 19991231 as the serial number or December 31st 1999. This is a pretty neat day as it’s the last day of the “20th Century” (the celebrated 20th century not actually 12/31/2000 cuz people don’t care that much about being accurate) as well as the last day of the “second millennium” (again the last day of the second millennium was 12/31/2000 but people celebrated the new millennium as the first day of 2000).
There were a lot of notable things that happened that day:
Y2K Hysteria: As midnight approached, the world held its breath for the Y2K bug—a software flaw that feared computers would misread the "00" date as 1900 and cause global infrastructure and financial collapses.
Panama Canal Transfer: At noon, the U.S. government officially transferred control of the Panama Canal to Panama, fulfilling the 1977 Torrijos-Carter Treaties.
Russian Leadership Shift: Russian President Boris Yeltsin resigned, handing the presidency over to then-Prime Minister Vladimir Putin as acting president.
Found this at work a few months ago. There’s a few neat things that happened this day.
Death of Pablo Escobar**:** The Medellin Cartel leader was killed during an escape attempt on a rooftop in Medellín, ending a 16-month manhunt. He was killed one day after his 44th birthday.
Space Shuttle Endeavour launches (STS-61): NASA initiated the first servicing mission for the Hubble Space Telescope, aiming to correct a flaw in its mirror.
Renault/Volvo merger canceled**:** A planned merger between French carmaker Renault and Swedish carmaker Volvo was called off due to executive opposition at Volvo.
Conflict in Northern Ireland**:** British Army soldier Paul Garrett was killed by an IRA sniper in Keady, County Armagh.
Found at work a few weeks ago. What I can find online about that day in history is:
On October 24, 1955, Elvis Presley performed at the Silver Moon Club in Newport.
That’s about it. Hopefully someone out there is looking for this bill and I can unite them with this.
Found this bill a few weeks ago. Found some interesting things about this day in history. If this bill is read as August 1st 1946 then:
Atomic Energy Act: President Truman signed the act, which created the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and transferred atomic energy control from military to civilian hands.
Battle of Athens (Tennessee): Returning WWII veterans, frustrated by a corrupt political machine, stormed the McMinn County jail to reclaim ballot boxes, seizing control of the local government by August 2.
If it’s read as January 8th 1946 then:
Elvis Presley's First Guitar: Gladys Presley bought her son an acoustic guitar at Tupelo Hardware in Mississippi for his 11th birthday, setting the stage for his music career.
Emperor Hirohito Renounces Divinity: As part of the post-WWII reorganization of Japan, Emperor Hirohito broadcast the "Humanity Declaration" (Ningen-sengen), stating he was not a living god.
Found this at work a few weeks ago. Can’t find much information about anything that happened that day in history. Still a neat find anyways.
Finally was able to give these to my grandpa the other day. I had found the $5 while I was working a few months ago. I had to ask my mom if his birthday was November 3rd 1940 or November 5th 1940. I figured it was November 5th 1940 but was really hoping it was the 3rd. Sure enough it was the 5th. Was like dang it but still figured he would like it a lot since he used to be a banker. I posted the $5 on the r/birthdaynotes subreddit and someone said “now what if you could have the correct birthday” and had a link down below. The link was for a $2 bill that’s now posted in this post. Told my parents about it and they bought it right away. My grandpa had a tradition for every Christmas and every birthday that every one of his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids (which he has a lot) would be given a $2 bill along with their gift. So lucky that the person commented that on my post because he really loved both of these bills. Would’ve liked to have given it to him on his birthday but he’s really starting to get up there in age now. Didn’t want to risk him potentially missing this gift that I knew he would really love.

These are my four most prized serial number bills that I’ve found while at work. Definitely have gotten very lucky with what I’ve found within just the past 7ish months now. Makes me wonder what bills I had possibly missed out in within the past 7 years of not looking. Glad to have discovered serial number collecting. It gives me something to do while bored at my job.

The other day at work I had found a different star note that also had a low run size. Learned that anything lower than a 600,000 run size could be more valuable or rare. The last one had a run size of 250,000 and the bill I found was roughly around 194,000.
This bill I found at work the other day has an even lower run size. This one has a run size of 125,000 and is 101,671 of that 125,000. Still don’t know a lot about these low star note bills and would like some input if you have any. Would really appreciate any knowledge about this kind of stuff.
