If you haven't heard, there are tens of thousands of dollar bills out there that are worth way more than face value. While sometimes it is because of some kind of error, more often than not, the value skyrockets because of the bill's serial number. You'll always want to keep an eye out for bills with really low numbers, like 00000001, ones with really high numbers, ones with repeating number patterns like 12341234, ones that only use the same two numbers like 12212122, the rare ones with the same number, and flippers - ones that have a number that can be read the same even if it is upside-down, like 00069000. But there is another thing to be on the hunt for - birthday notes.
