I am not sure what you mean by "essentially cheating".  I thought that the idea of the data base was to have a reference work.  I am almost 81 years old, and I have neither the time or patience, to be entering 900+ notes per week.

but it's your choice if you want to add the entire sequential note but AZ suggested that you don't as it provides no value but in my opinion it provides value.

As far as keeping track on issued serial number ranges, there is no value in doing this whatsoever. It is easy to enter all notes from the range and the count of your notes in the database can grow much faster, but it is essentially cheating.

And yes, when you enter first and last note from a range, only 2 notes are added to the database and the total count of your notes increases by 2, as expected.

That is what I have been doing, but it appears that only the notes entered have been counted, and not as sequential total i.e.  2 notes counted and not 26.

A while back, someone suggested that the count be added when adding sequential notes into the SNDB. For now people say to enter the first starting point of the sequential and the last but for me I just enter the entire sequential into the SNDB. Some people do it and it provides great value where the sequential note (serial number).

Example:
FFN 6674141
to
FFN 6674155

were found in Toronto, ON

Hi,

I have been adding my notes, but I do not think that they have been counted as sequential e.g. If I enter the following:

INZ 1897073 48 48
INZ 1897099 48 48

Would this be counted as 26 sequential notes?

If not, how do I enter them?  I am talking about a LOT to be entered

For each range like that, only enter the first and the last note. There is no value in recording each note in the range.

May 21st:
Today, I went to one of my banks and there were new tellers working the desk.  I asked for customer rolled coins after being told that they had no paper money.

I was only able to obtain five rolls of dimes, quarters and nickels.  Maybe because the tellers didn’t know who I was, they decided to limit how much coin I could have.

At least I didn’t leave empty handed.

After searching the rolls, there were very few finds.  Aside from 85 cents in US coins and a couple of nickel alloy nickels, the highlight of the night is an old pre-decimal sixpence coin from the UK dated 1966.

Sometimes you have to take what you can get…

Enjoy!

May 20th coin hunt update:

The rolled dimes I brought home today contained:

$1.50 in US dimes
Three 2021 bluenose under sail dimes
A UK 5 pence coin
An East Caribbean States 10 cent coin
Two mystery coins (is that Arabic on the coins?)
1991 and 1990 dimes
And most interestingly, an old threepence coin from New Zealand, 1947.  Of course, this is just one year removed from being 50% silver.   

Enjoy!

May 20th finds:
More ATM magic!

I stopped by one of my favourite banks to pick up some rolled dimes.  While I was there, I withdrew some cash.  One of the $20s that came out of the machine was a broken ladder serial number! FYF 1523476

Let’s see if the luck continues with the coins.

Enjoy!

May 19th finds:
ATM treasures!

I went to the bank machine today to get some cash and out pop not one, but two interesting notes.

The first is a low serial number note FYU0000778

And the second note is a near solid FYN8888488

So close to a solid radar…

Enjoy!
