My coworker had a 100 dollar bill that the top border looked thicker than the bottom border. Would that be more valuable than just its face value?
If it was only a slightly uneven border, it’s usually not worth more than face value. A lot of notes have minor centering differences that don’t bring a premium. If it was a true dramatic miscut or misalignment that actually cut into the design or showed part of the next note, then it could be worth more — sometimes roughly $140 to $200+ depending on how strong the error was and the overall condition. If you can post a photo, I’d be happy to take a closer look.
please advise me on a bill i have i need to talk to someone please
Hi Ben, happy to help.
Please post a clear photo of the bill, or share the denomination, series year, serial number, and whether it has a star. If there is anything unusual about it, mention that too.
Once you share those details, it will be much easier to tell whether it may be worth more than face value.
What is the difference between Cool Numbers & Fancy Numbers
Cool numbers are basically “this looks neat to me” serials — maybe a pattern, a date you like, repeated digits, or something meaningful — but they don’t always fit a widely collected category, so the premium (if any) is usually small and very dependent on the buyer.
Fancy numbers are recognized collector types with consistent demand and comps, like radars (palindromes), repeaters, ladders, solids, binaries, low/high serials, etc. If a serial matches one of those established patterns, it’s much more likely to sell for a clear premium (especially if the note is crisp/uncirculated).
Sometimes a serial is both: it can be “cool” and qualify as a “fancy” type. If you want, drop an example serial (you can cover the last 2 digits) and I’ll tell you which bucket it falls into.
Hi! Wondered value of a 2021star note D Cleveland 08807483*
Hi Kenneth — thanks for the details.
A 2021 ★ star note with serial 08807483★ (Cleveland district “D”) is a replacement note. Most modern $1 star notes are pretty common, so value is usually close to face unless it’s in very high grade or from a scarcer star run.
Typical ballpark:
Your serial has leading zeros, but it isn’t a super-low number (like 00000xxx), so that doesn’t add a big premium by itself. If you can share whether it’s crisp/no folds, I can narrow it down further.
I have an 2009 $1 note. Serial # L77777787p.
Not mint condition but in good shape.
Hi Craig — thanks for sharing the serial.
L77777787 is a nice one because it has six 7s in a row (777777). Collectors do pay a premium for “multiple-in-a-row” serials, but condition matters a lot.
A realistic range:
It’s not a “solid” (all 7s) and not a radar/repeater, but six-in-a-row is still worth saving. If you can, keep it flat in a sleeve and check sold listings using: “77777787 $1” and filter to Sold.
Hi! Wondered value of a 2003 $1 star note 2003 E Richmond E00026590* 67PPQ 320,000 run
Thanks!!!
Hi Kirk — thanks for all the details (that helps a lot).
You’ve got a 2003 $1 Star Note (Richmond “E”), serial E00026590★, and the 320,000 print run is definitely on the smaller side. The big value driver here is your holder: 67 PPQ is a top-grade note with premium paper quality, so collectors will pay over face for it.
Based on recent market comps for similar 2003-era $1 star notes in 67 PPQ/EPQ, a realistic range is about $40–$70 in today’s retail/eBay market. If you want it to sell quickly, pricing it closer to $35–$50 usually moves faster; if you’re patient, listing around $69.99 and taking offers can land you in the $45–$60 area.
If you decide to list it, good front/back photos (no glare) and “67 PPQ + 320,000 run + low serial” in the title/description will help it stand out.
B06413188*—-B06413181*
Hi Sami — those look like consecutive Star Note serials, from B06413181★ through B06413188★.
A few quick tips that help you figure out the value:
Star Notes (★) are replacement notes. Most carry only a small premium unless they’re from a low print run or in very crisp condition.
Because yours are consecutive, collectors may pay a bit more as a set (don’t split them up if you can help it).
Condition matters a lot: if they’re uncirculated (crisp, no folds), the premium is usually much better than if they’re worn.
Best next step: run one of the serials in a Star Note Lookup (to see if it’s a rare run), and keep the notes stored flat in a sleeve.
If you share the denomination + series year (from the front of the bill) and whether they’re crisp or circulated, I can give you a tighter ballpark and whether it’s worth holding/selling as a group.

I would like to know if my in -series number with a mis print is worth.
I have a one dollar silver certificate with a fancy back and serial number are tripled i think is it worth anything?
Hi Michael — sounds like a neat find! If it says “Silver Certificate” across the top and has that fancy blue seal and serial numbers, it’s likely from the late 1920s to the 1950s. Those were once redeemable for actual silver dollars, which makes them popular among collectors today.
When you say the serial number is “tripled,” do you mean it repeats the same three digits (like 777xxxx777)? If so, that could make it a “fancy serial number,” which adds a bit of collector interest.
Most regular $1 Silver Certificates in circulated condition go for around $3–$6, but if the serial number pattern is eye-catching (repeating, radar, or solid digits) or the note is in crisp uncirculated shape, it can be worth $20–$50+.
If you can share a clear photo of the front showing the serial numbers, I can help narrow it down more precisely — some patterns are surprisingly valuable!
Here is the back of that .10 cent bill.
Is this worth anything a .10 cent bill?
Hi Michael, great find — that’s a 10-cent Fractional Currency note from around the Civil War era (1860s–1870s)! These small-denomination notes were issued because people were hoarding coins made of precious metals, so the government printed paper money worth less than a dollar.
From your photos, it looks like a Third or Fourth Issue 10-cent note, featuring William M. Meredith, who served as U.S. Treasury Secretary. The red and black print and the ornate back are classic features of this series.
Even in circulated condition like yours (with creases and wear), it’s still collectible. Most examples in this grade sell for around $15–$30, depending on exact issue and condition. Crisp uncirculated ones can bring $100+.
If you’d like a closer estimate, you could look along the bottom margin for the series or issue mark (e.g., “Act of March 3, 1863” or “Fourth Issue”) and share that — it helps pinpoint the catalog type.
It’s a neat piece of U.S. history — not worth a fortune, but definitely worth keeping and protecting in a currency sleeve!
Hi,I have a 50 bill, series 2004, circulated and marked on, so likely no added value due to those factors. I noticed a very thin margin on the front at the top compared to bottom. Back side is more centered top to bottom but still sits slightly high. Is this something that would make a difference, generally?
Hi Traci,
Thank you for reaching out—your questions genuinely help us keep the site as useful and accurate as possible!
A few quick points about “thin‑margin” notes:
In your case—a Series 2004 $50 that’s circulated and has writing/marks—minor top‑border narrowness alone is unlikely to raise the value above face. Collectors who pay premiums for mis‑cuts typically insist on:
A large, unmistakable shift (≥¼ in / 6 mm),
Crisp, uncirculated condition,
No ink, stamps, or folds.
What you can do
Quick self‑check: If every design element (security threads, “50” counters, portrait frame) is still fully inside the border, it’s probably within normal tolerances.
Photos welcome: If you’d like a second opinion, feel free to send well‑lit, straight‑on images of the front and back. We can tell at a glance whether it crosses the line into true error territory.
Keeping vs. spending: Given the circulation and markings you mentioned, you’re generally safe to spend it—though there’s no harm in holding onto it as a conversation piece if you enjoy the note.
I hope this clarifies things! Let me know if you have photos or any other questions—we’re always happy to dig a little deeper.
CAN YOU TELL ME IF MY BILLS ARE WORTH ANYTHING?
Hello Leonard,
Thank you for sharing these clear photos of your $50 bills. I notice something very special about your collection – all three are star notes (indicated by the star symbol * after the serial numbers)!
Value Assessment: Star notes typically command a premium over regular notes. Based on the condition shown in your photos (which appear to be in Fine to Very Fine condition):
For reference, our database shows recent sales of similar notes:
The value could be higher if the notes are in better condition than they appear in the photos, or if they have any special serial number patterns (which these don’t appear to have).
Preservation Tips: Since these are worth more than face value, I recommend storing them in archival currency sleeves to protect them from further wear, oils from handling, and environmental damage.
You have a nice collection of star notes from the Chicago Federal Reserve district! If you’re interested in maximizing their value, you might consider having them professionally graded by a service like PCGS or PMG, as graded star notes can sell for significantly more.
I have 10 pristine $5.00 Bills in sequential order from QF77400715A – QF7740025A is there any worth to having sequential notes?
Sequential serial numbers can be a bonus for collectors, but the extra value is often modest. In your case, having 10 pristine $5 bills in sequential order (from QF77400715A to QF7740025A) could be more attractive to currency collectors than a random assortment. Such sets are sometimes marketed as “serial number sets” or “sequential notes” and may fetch a premium over their face value.
However, several factors influence the added value:
For an accurate appraisal, it’s a good idea to check recent sales on auction sites like eBay or consult with a reputable currency dealer who specializes in collectible paper money. This will give you a clearer picture of current market trends and collector interest
Hi there

$ 2 series 1963
Please let me know if you need more info about it
Thanks.
Marcela
Hi Marcela,
Could you please clarify what you mean by “pretty good conditions”? In numismatics, we typically use specific grades like Fine, Very Fine, AU (About Uncirculated), or Uncirculated. This would help me better assess the potential value of your bills.
Also, would you be able to share:
The serial numbers of these bills? Some special serial numbers (known as “fancy” numbers) can add significant value.
Whether any of these are star notes (bills with a star * at the end of the serial number)?
These three factors – condition, fancy serial numbers, and star notes – can significantly affect a bill’s value above its face value. Without these special characteristics, the value would primarily depend on the series and type you’ve listed.
Would you mind sharing these additional details?
i have 20 dollar bill 2017a s# PE 20222012 b very good but ciruculated cond
The serial number PE 20222012 B is quite interesting as it contains two years “2022” and “2012”. While it’s not the most sought-after type of serial number (like solid numbers or radar numbers), collectors who like this kind of number combination might pay a few dollars extra. If you want to sell it, try listing it for $2-5 above face value.
Ola, quería saber o seu prezo.

I am trying to enter a * for a serial number on a star note without success. Is there a way to enter it into the Fancy Serial Number Checker?
Thank you for your question! Let me clarify a few important points:
The Fancy Serial Number and Star Note status are actually two independent factors in evaluating a banknote’s value. To check if you have a fancy serial number, you only need to enter the 8-digit serial number without the star symbol – the system will evaluate the serial number pattern on its own.
After entering the 8 digits, the system will calculate a Fancy Index score (up to 100) based on the number pattern. For fancy serial numbers, we attempt to match historical pricing data of notes with the same or similar patterns in our Similar Transactions section, though please note that similar transactions may not always be available for every fancy serial number.
Speaking of Similar Transactions – there’s a helpful filter feature there that lets you specifically look for Star Note transactions. Just click the filter icon to open the modal window, and you’ll find a Star Note option where you can choose to view only Star Note sales records.
Hope this helps clarify how to use the checker effectively!
