Hi Sr,,,,l would like to certify a rare dollar bill,,,, it's shown on the adverse side a Red Seal under the official Black Seal ,,,the Red seal shouldn't be displayed in any way or form ,,, please feedback,,,thanks
This was fun to watch. I was just trying find some information on a binary note I acquired. I knew some of what you were describing, but not to this extent. Thank you!
Thanks Stu and Gina R for the suggestion for this video. This is a video a new collector of US paper money needs to see. So much info on a note and no one ever explains this stuff to new collectors. Thanks for sharing and be safe
Just a coincidence. They don’t try to match them but they usually start that way. The plates wear out at different rates and the two sides are printed at different times.
Very informative video, thank you! I’ve been enjoying your channel for a month or so now and always look forward to the new videos. Do you have any tips you could incorporate in a video regarding how to care for your notes? Specifically, any tips for how to safely remove and replace notes in currency sleeves? Sometimes I get a lot of resistance from the sleeve that causes the note to bend or not go in smoothly. Thanks again for the great content, gives me something to enjoy and look forward to on my lunch breaks!
Well thank you very much! You aren't the only one that can struggle with those sleeves. There is nothing worse than finding a great note and then being the one who folds a corner in the holder! Generally, I will put a finger inside each end to stretch it a little. You can almost see the front and back of the holder separate. That's as far as I've ever thought about it. But here is an interesting thing. The reason for the difficulty is static electricity. As crazy as it sounds, if you were to rub a dryer sheet on the holder, inside and out, that should remove the static charge, in theory. Be sure to use an unscented sheet to avoid any chemicals. Let me know how it works!
I have been collecting bills on a casual basis. If I see something that I like then I will put it in my valise of other old or unusual bills. I enjoy watching your channel and I have picked up some new insights into bill collecting. While I wouldn’t call me a serious collector, I do occasionally use your channel to help me build up my collection.. Thank you for your information and also insight into collecting paper money.
I got 50note says FwD19 and the same number is on the back and sheet note is D2 does that make rare aside that it has a 95.6% fancy serial number And also have a dollar bill with a star and Fancy serial number about 91% and also a dollar bill with starting number 666and that in serial number goes about 90too
Front and back plate numbers aren’t even a thing I look at. No value there. The coolness rating doesn’t mean anything. I have a bunch of videos explaining what a fancy serial number is. If you can’t tell me what makes it fancy, then it isn’t. 666 is 1 in 1000. Not rare. Sorry.
Thanks very much for explaining this to us! I’ve just recently been thinking of starting my own collection, so the more explanations the better!! Blessings always! ❤️✝️
C4 c14 that is errored 18 for back plate number the front plate numbers are smaller than the plate number on the back and not sure about this one but the top 2 7s on the bill don't line up evenly
Time 1:20 "If one of them goes then there will be an A under the series." If one of WHAT goes? and I have a B ! Help anyone if you know my answer to this?
Huge thank you for posting this video. I needed some more clarity on the markings as I had came across probably one of the rarest first series 2017 true ascending trinary with 6 of a kind, bill serial number 00010002, block A-B, A54 on the bottom right, A5 on the top left, rear plate number is 50. I know the values of a basic trinary, the values of 6 of a kind, I cant imaginge something of this rarity? Anyone who collects low serials, or low numbers is gunna fight like cats and dogs for it.
I kinda have to disagree. Trinaries have no value. Your 6 of a kind isn’t 6 in a row which just makes it a “one off”. And a low number is under 1000, not 10,000. I am sure someone will buy it but no actual dealer would ever say it’s anything over face value. If it was 00010001, you would have a repeating true binary. Decent money there. But that isn’t what you have. Yours is quite literally 1 off. Sorry. But thanks for watching!
Just to be realistic, I just bought a 1928 $1 star note silver certificate for $50. Which would you rather have? I also just bought a contemporary counterfeit from 1860 for $49. So for less than $100 I got both of those. Better yet, what do you think will be the value of these notes in the future? They aren’t making any more of them. I don’t know what you think yours is worth but I really don’t understand why. With every series and block, there are more printed. I did a video explaining how many different series and reserves (blocks) have been produced in just the last 10 years. We would both agree that a solid serial number is one of the most rare and valuable notes. But since 2013, there have been 175 series and reserve blocks. Multiply that by 8 different solids and you have about 1200 solids out there. And that doesn’t include the current print runs of 2021. There are always more notes being printed. Who ever is making up names for these is doing a disservice to the hobby.
@@Stuplubakcurrency What are you serious some are more rare then others. So not all MULEs have the same value. Have you ever Found a Mule. Let's say I have a 2017 Mule would 2017 be considered rare. And Thank You for responding you are too Kind.
@@altonbrice1632 I don’t have any info on current mules. I don’t look for current mules. I simply check my older notes to see if they are or not. No one has said anything about modern mules being worth anything to me so I don’t worry about them.
@@StuplubakcurrencyAlright I thought you might know because I have several 2017 with the same Plate Number. Thank you for such a quick response and all that you do great work as always. Keep it up you are needed more then you know especially in our current economic situation.
Basically just the paper itself. It reacts to the pen, and you have the red and blue fibers. Not to mention the design itself that can blur when copied.
I have a question, I came across a 1995 dollar bill that has only 7 numbers for a serial number instead of 8. I went to a coin store today to see how much it is worth. They told me that it wasn’t worth more than $1.00. This is the first one I have ever seen, so I thought it would be worth more. Is there any information that you can give me on that?
I don't know if you're going to get this message... But are you serious when you say if the front plate number, and back plate number of the bill match, it's extremely rare?... Respectfully, I have a hard time believing that since I have 5 bills that have matching plate numbers on the front and back.. And I found all 5 in 1 hunt... I tried doing more research but couldn't find anything about plate numbers, only serial numbers.... Do you have any idea of what's going on?😵💫
Plates are replaced as they wear out. There is no rhyme or reason when they get changed. Usually the low numbers will match but as the run goes on, anything can happen. Matching plate numbers isn’t anything I have ever looked for while searching over 300,000 notes.
@Stuplubakcurrency Thank you I appreciate the reply. But do you think a bill that has the same plate number in the front and back can have any extra value? 🤔... And if they are extremely rare, do you think it's worth grading?... What would you do if you found a bill with the same plate number on the front and back?
I have a one-dollar bill and the upper right 6 of the four corner numbers have a tinny almost fine print script over it. What does that mean? I do not find it on any of my other one-dollar bills.
He has talked about that in a different video. I have always believed it to be an owl too, while others call it a spider. However, it is really nothing but a portion of a design element as seen on the bottom of the note on both the left and right side; there is a little design between the bottom numeral 1 and the words ONE DOLLAR, the very top of that design element is also what we believe is the owl.
Is it rare to find all of the letters on a 1.00 the same? Both before and after the serial number as well as the fed. reserve stamp and the small letter and number close to the fed. stamp??
Not really. There are 12 reserves and many of the last ones (11 Dallas, and 12 San Francisco) generally print many notes. The position letters only go to G.
I have a question on the series you stated when only one signature changes that they put a letter a I have two bills showing the series 2017 and 2017a both with the same signatures and also two different signatures change from 2009 series to 2013 series with no series a what does that mean are they arrivals two of them are Star notes and two are not
The signatures are just an example. Any time there is a change to the note they change the series. It could be a change to a plate or even a new batch of ink. They don’t usually explain what they are changing for security purposes. Star notes are replacement notes. When there is a mistake in the print, they remove the problem notes and insert a star note. This keeps all of the other notes in numerical order even though the star note would be out of sequence. This way every brand new strap starts with xxxxxx01 and ends with xxxxxx00.
I want to say that is because there are a couple of plates on the drum that prints the notes. It is very likely that consecutive numbers would alternate plates.
Going way back, there are some mules where the font size is ever so slightly different. But for the most part, the number itself is the best identifier.
I know this is an older video, but I'm not sure where best to ask if someone knows this... If F-P is the block, like on the example note in the video, to my knowledge, if any notes need to be replaced, they will replace the P with a star. What happens if, later, a note from the F-Q block with the same serial number needs a replacement note? If you replaced the Q with a star, you'd have an identical sequence.
Good question! The blocks have nothing to do with star notes, though. The first letter has to do with which Federal reserve is responsible for the note. Not all federal reserves have stars for any given series. The next letter is the number of times they rolled through 100 million notes. Stars are printed as their own run and with their own numbering system. A large print run for stars would be only 20 million. Long before you would ever need another letter. Imagine a pile of star notes just sitting next to the press. When an error is detected, the bad note is removed and replaced with the next available star note regardless of the serial number. The top note in a strap will be ******01 and the last note will be ******00. If one note in the strap is bad, that note is replaced but the rest of the strap is intact to not mess up the numbering system. These are the RARE stars that are valuable. You are lucky to find one of these. If there was a cutting error or an ink spill that ruined the entire strap, they could replace the entire strap with stars that are in order. These are the common stars that aren't really worth that much. Hope this answers your question!
@@Stuplubakcurrency Yes, thank you! That was an excellent reply. I think I fully understand it now. I know very little about collecting, and, at least at this point, I don't have a lot of interest in serial numbers or star notes, so I had never noticed that the serial numbers of star notes are all low. I'm always looking out for those rare star notes, though.
I don’t know if you still reply but I’ve been stuck on this dollar bill I’ve had for awhile. I have a 2013 series, federal reserve of Philadelphia and the seal is red. Is this normal?
The letter "L" refers to San Francisco as the Reserve bank for which this note comes from. There are 12 different reserve banks and they have letters from A-L. The second letter represents the number of times they went through 100 million notes. F tells you that this is the 6th time. All of this info is on every note printed. If it is from a certain year or if it has a cool serial number, it could be worth money but so I don't have enough info from you to determine if it's worth more than face value.
Short answer, yes! Long answer... A solid (8 of a kind) goes for thousands. 7 in a row could be hundreds. Even 6 in a row could be $10 to $30 or more depending on the specific number. With 6 in a row, people want zeros and they want them either leading or trailing. You have the trailing zeros. Good find!
What series is it? There's been a recent change to the way the serial numbers and seals are printed. The newer equipment uses LEPE and leaves in all notes ending in 9999 and 0000. However, with the older COPE equipment, those are almost always taken out and replaced with star notes. If you know the series you can look up how that note was overprinted - alternatively, you can look at the plate position (if it's LEPE, the number will be the same size as the letter). If you have a LEPE overprinted note, it's still worth quite a bit. If it's COPE overprinted, it will be worth way more, because notes with the 0000 ending almost always get replaced!
I also found plate number on back 182 on the front FW B183 and section B3 is that rare , and I found plate number on back 1 front plate FW B3and section B2 both different series 2009, and 2017, each signatures both changed no a in series. However two signatures the same on the first comment I posted same series but only one with letter A in series the one with no A 2017 is a ⭐ note missing the A, with same signatures. Any answers please let me know thanks Daniel.

I know this is an older video, but I'm not sure where best to ask if someone knows this... If F-P is the block, like on the example note in the video, to my knowledge, if any notes need to be replaced, they will replace the P with a star. What happens if, later, a note from the F-Q block with the same serial number needs a replacement note? If you replaced the Q with a star, you'd have an identical sequence.
Good question! The blocks have nothing to do with star notes, though. The first letter has to do with which Federal reserve is responsible for the note. Not all federal reserves have stars for any given series. The next letter is the number of times they rolled through 100 million notes. Stars are printed as their own run and with their own numbering system. A large print run for stars would be only 20 million. Long before you would ever need another letter. Imagine a pile of star notes just sitting next to the press. When an error is detected, the bad note is removed and replaced with the next available star note regardless of the serial number. The top note in a strap will be ******01 and the last note will be ******00. If one note in the strap is bad, that note is replaced but the rest of the strap is intact to not mess up the numbering system. These are the RARE stars that are valuable. You are lucky to find one of these. If there was a cutting error or an ink spill that ruined the entire strap, they could replace the entire strap with stars that are in order. These are the common stars that aren't really worth that much. Hope this answers your question!
@@Stuplubakcurrency Yes, thank you! That was an excellent reply. I think I fully understand it now. I know very little about collecting, and, at least at this point, I don't have a lot of interest in serial numbers or star notes, so I had never noticed that the serial numbers of star notes are all low. I'm always looking out for those rare star notes, though.
the letter g is the 7th letter in alph... just sayn
I was on point 7 of 10.
I don’t know if you still reply but I’ve been stuck on this dollar bill I’ve had for awhile. I have a 2013 series, federal reserve of Philadelphia and the seal is red. Is this normal?
That sounds heavily altered. They haven’t used red ink since 1963. Would love to see it!
@@Stuplubakcurrency is there any way I can show you?
@@treestalkerstarestuf you can send a pic . Email stuplubak@msn.com
Wow that's a nice serial number
Thanks!
How about the top freemason symbols?😉
I was thinking of doing all of the symbols and imagery. I'm working on a couple lists right now. I will add that one! Thanks!
Very interesting and thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Stuplubak!! Great information.
Glad it was helpful!
@@Stuplubakcurrency It was very helpful.
I have a 1 dollar bill that has a L on it but says it was printed in California an F how much is it worth
The letter "L" refers to San Francisco as the Reserve bank for which this note comes from. There are 12 different reserve banks and they have letters from A-L. The second letter represents the number of times they went through 100 million notes. F tells you that this is the 6th time. All of this info is on every note printed. If it is from a certain year or if it has a cool serial number, it could be worth money but so I don't have enough info from you to determine if it's worth more than face value.
@@Stuplubakcurrency I'll send u a pic of it
That was very interesting. Thanks 👍
Thanks for watching!
I just found a $1 bill with # A37000000D is this a good bill ?
Short answer, yes! Long answer... A solid (8 of a kind) goes for thousands. 7 in a row could be hundreds. Even 6 in a row could be $10 to $30 or more depending on the specific number. With 6 in a row, people want zeros and they want them either leading or trailing. You have the trailing zeros. Good find!
What series is it?
There's been a recent change to the way the serial numbers and seals are printed. The newer equipment uses LEPE and leaves in all notes ending in 9999 and 0000. However, with the older COPE equipment, those are almost always taken out and replaced with star notes.
If you know the series you can look up how that note was overprinted - alternatively, you can look at the plate position (if it's LEPE, the number will be the same size as the letter). If you have a LEPE overprinted note, it's still worth quite a bit. If it's COPE overprinted, it will be worth way more, because notes with the 0000 ending almost always get replaced!
Thanks very much..!!!
You're welcome!
Thank you sir for the video.
Thank you for watching!
Interesting, thanks for sharing!

I also found plate number on back 182 on the front FW B183 and section B3 is that rare , and I found plate number on back 1 front plate FW B3and section B2 both different series 2009, and 2017, each signatures both changed no a in series. However two signatures the same on the first comment I posted same series but only one with letter A in series the one with no A 2017 is a ⭐ note missing the A, with same signatures. Any answers please let me know thanks Daniel.
I don’t understand. Why do you think it’s rare? What makes it different from any other note?
@@Stuplubakcurrency the plate numbers on reverse, 1 front FWB3 section B 2 and the serial number has 32 ,31 out of L32463158A just a thought
I'm thinking the plate numbers are real close and not back stock number on reverse.
@@Stuplubakcurrency my first post was for signatures this reply is for plates and numbers.
PS this one is not a ⭐ note how do I send a picture
Great info !!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
B is the 2 but that bell belongs to the 2nd Family
k is the 11 for Kennedy printed in Dallas, Tx where he was K..... which is owned by the 11 family
so tell the truth about which Family owns which number (not the banks own)
Or they are just districts 1-12 and have the appropriate letter.
@@Stuplubakcurrency I don’t think so
@@LaMrJones1573 Not to shatter your perfect conspiracy world but Kennedy was killed in 1963. The Dallas Reserve has been District K (11) since 1928.
@@Stuplubakcurrency good you’re getting close to figuring me out by calling me that
So 11,22,1963
Nov 22, 1963
@@LaMrJones1573 That would be a date. Let me just get all of this out of the way. The world is round. We have been to the moon. Vaccines work. Trump lost. And my personal favorite, you can’t fix stupid.
After this video ive been finding a bunch of notes with matching plate numbers and now i collect those
Not sure there is any value but they are kind of neat.
