I need some help with the new hundreds please. What serial numbers are worth keeping

[Mkelly315]

I picked up 2 of the new hundreds from my bank today and was wondering if it's worth it to keep them or if they are just regular valued 100 dollar bills. I was planning to keep these for the kids if they are serial numbers worth saving. They are subsequent numbers.

My serial numbers are:

LF 26145024A
LF 26145025A

Are these bills considered "low serial numbers". Are only the 100's with the zero's in the front of the number worth keeping or will these be valuable years down the road?

I guess I'm just confused if all of the bills from the first run will be valuable to collectors years down the road or only a handful.

Thanks for the help!

Low numbers are anything that have at least 4 0's in the front. Although some people thing a number is low only if it has 5 0's in the front. I don't really see anything worth keeping in those numbers.

No, the government isn't slipping in an extra zero. But it is including, as always, an eight-digit serial number. And as the Boston Globe explains, currency collectors will pay big if the numbers are "fancy." That's the collectors' term, not the Globe's, for serial numbers that fall in a number of categories: there are "low" (00000001 through 00000100), "ladders" (43210987), "radar' (43788734), "solids" (33333333), and "repeaters" (82118211). Then there are random ones: 31415927 (pi) or 07041776 (read that as 07/04/1776).

I have some emergency cash set aside locked up and plan on replacing the cash with crisp new $100's, hopefully I won't ever need to break into that cash and will have them 50 years from now, time will tell.

In 2020 they're going to be making new 10s and are debating wether or not to bring the 500 dollar bill back. I sure hope they do haha

It makes sense, think of how much more buying power the $100 bill had back in the 1950s. Easily 10x as much. They should make $500, $1000 and possibly even a $1500 bill.

If we have a $500 there isn't really a point in having a $1000. The $10 isn't needed and neither is the $50. A $500 would be very useful though.

What does this have to do with CRH?

You guys do know we have a paper currency sub-form, right?

Because hundreds of these new bills run threw some of our hands every day? CRHers spend a lot of time at banks. Why not throw a post in here?

I always check my bills I get back while CRHing. Found a few stars that way. Never anything extremely cool though.
