Quote: "Cashier"In my opinion of course people would say different is Euro notes you would need to check where there’re printed if there common I don’t see any value in them apart from errors low serial numbers, low print runs etc or the older series of the notes.Working as cashier and sometimes I see interesting serial numbers on banknotes, are there any collection value?
Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.

Quote: "Cashier"-The short answer is: no, they're not interesting. Unfortunately there's a lot of misinformation out there in social media re: "Fancy Serial" numbers, with strange terms like "Trinary" or "Broken Ladders" and such.
It's all rubbish (honestly!). I just went on eBay now to see if I can offer some advice to a novice collector looking to buy US banknotes for under $100 USD. I was amazed to see several terms like these on too many listings. It appears as if the propaganda campaign to be rid of naive collectors of their hard-earned money continues. It is also unfortunate that USD (with 8 serial numbers) are very hard to find Special Serial numbers. It is only Special Serial Numbers that you want & you'd be better off trying your luck on pre-Euros on eBay for special #. You will hear of "Fancy" serial numbers & some may go for birthday serial numbers, birth year numbers (00000001978) for 11 digits. [But these are very unique & lack mass appeal]. It will be very tough to find a decent low or special serial number with Euros. And you need to find banknotes in high grade (AU or UNC) with almost no evidence of circulation.
With Euros (& 11 digits) & notes never issued in sequential running order (like other currencies), you would be best to seek tough country prefixes, tough signatures (& tough printer codes). You can find this info on EuroBillTracker & I won't bore you with info on printer codes.
Most 2002 banknotes with the Duisenberg are the best to go after & then it would be wise to chase down the uncommon prefixes such as: Z (Belgium); L (Finland), T (Ireland), Y (Greece) & then Trichet E (Slovakia); F (Malta); G (Cyprus) & H (Slovenia). The general rule of thumb- the smaller the nation the more scarce for the earlier series.
Good Luck!

Personally I don't care much about the serial number. I have a few with radars, and sure, that is fund when you discover it, but I would never add an extra cent to get it.
Everytime someone asks if their serial number is unique, I always answer: Yes! Your serial number is unique. There's only one note with that serial number. You will never find another 10 Euro banknote with the exact same serial number. Congratulations!
Seriously though, don't put too much money on the serial number, the vast majority of collectors are more interested in UNC banknotes that a "birthday note". Sure, low numbers (below 100, or in some cases below 1000) could feature an extra bonus or so, but otherwise no.

Quote: "ALLRED1950"In my opinion hunting notes in the US is much more interesting than in the U.K. because your notes haven’t changed size since 1928 and from watching note hunts from your country They’re more interesting than her apart from low serial numbers and varieties.

Finally what’s the age you commonly find notes and what else do you look for? The only US notes in my collection are early to mid 2000s dollar bills and 1988 and 88A in high grade condition because they were taken from circulation back in 1991.
