Issue2012 $20 Is this type of serial number a repeater?

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Curious about my find. Anyone want to share their knowledge?

I replied to your post in another thread then you posted it here afterwards.... This is not the right thread for this and this bill is worth $20... Go spend it

It’s a spender

While I agree with the other members who have said it's not worth more than twenty bucks, I encourage you to keep it if you think it's interesting and it makes you happy. I certainly have many bills in my own collection that have a special meaning to me and I wouldn't want to part with even if they're nothing special to others. Collecting is all about what you make of it.

That being said it is not particularly uncommon to find a 9999 bill. Trivial math will tell you that they are 1 in 10000, which makes it quite uncommon but certainly not unheard of. I go through that many bills in about six weeks and have found quite a few myself. Any more 9s though and I'd say you've got something special.

In fact I own a bill #9979999 that I found on my first day during the one time in my life I have visited Montreal, which I consider extremely special both from its number and the circumstances of finding it. Irrelevant to your question, but seeing your username, I had to share. Happy hunting.

Thanks for the responses. Appreciated.

Well said.

Like the old saying goes, value is only value if the value is valued... I agree, keep this note if it makes you happy.  I would not suggest putting it up on eBay for an unrealistic price (like some people do).  I have seen "near" solids, radars and million notes that people are asking book price if they were actually the real note and they were also circulated (which makes it even more awkward)
