I have run into a banknote with a serial number of 8222222 in $50 denomination. I would consider its condition to be well circulated VF-VG.

I have read somewhere that some collectors may be interested in numbers that are close to solid. However numerically the above number is much further away from a solid 8.

Would such a serial number be of interest to collectors?

Thank you.

Wonder what paper money would say if it could talk?

These types of notes are interesting and they are pretty much as close must of us get to solid radars. I have a $5 note that is #35555555 and 0090000.

WOW 8 digits :) I know just a typo



Always looking for #1 serial number notes in any denomination/any series

Near-solid serial numbers like 8222222 are definitely of interest to some collectors of interesting serial numbers.  However, since it is on a high denomination note ($50) and in very circulated grade, it would be very hard to sell.  And by "sell", I mean profitably.
