There’s an exciting new way to make money that doesn’t involve penny-pinching!
Did you know that those dollar bills in your wallet or drawer could be worth thousands of dollars?
It all has to do with the serial numbers printed on them.
Here’s what you need to know if you want to turn paper currency into cold hard cash.
Most people don’t think twice about the serial numbers on dollar bills, but some are actually highly sought after by collectors who are willing to pay big bucks for specific patterns.
If your dollar bill contains a sequence like 29999999, 01111110, 67676767, or 11110000 then it could be worth thousands of dollars.
Websites like CoolSerialNumbers.com keep an updated “want list” of these special serial numbers so if you find one in your wallet, contact them immediately and see how much they will offer in exchange for it.
What are some things they’re looking for?
- 7 in a row of the same number like 29999999
- Super radars like 01111110, 10000001, or 80000008
- Repeaters like 67676767
- Double quads like 11110000
- 0 and 9 binaries like 00090000
- 1 and 8 binaries like 81188118
- And more!
The idea of collecting currency might seem strange at first glance but once you understand how valuable certain serial numbers can be it starts to make sense why some people choose this as their hobby and side hustle.
While coin collectors have been around for years, buying paper currency is becoming increasingly popular too because those same random characteristics that exist in coins also apply to dollar bills – meaning that anyone could have a very valuable piece of paper sitting right there inside their wallet without even knowing it!
It pays (literally) to give every single dollar bill a second look before spending it just because you never know when one might turn out to be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars more than its face value.
