I need to know if dollar bills ($100) dollar bills can have the same exact serial numbers?
366717
No, they can not. \nA serial number consists of two prefix letters, eight numerals, and a one-letter suffix:\n\nThe first letter of the prefix denotes the currency series. \n\nThe second letter of the prefix indicates the Federal Reserve Bank at which the bill was produced. \n\nThe eight digits represent the bill's sequential order within its group. The one-letter suffix is a further sequential counter within each Reserve Bank's bills in a series. \n\nThe suffix letter advances when the 8-digit number reaches 99999999 (for example, xx99999999B is followed by xx00000001C). The entire alphabet is used for this process except for the letter O. \n\nBills with a star in the place of their suffix letter are replacements for bills that did not meet federal standards after the printing process and are subsequently destroyed.

What kind of condition are they in? Well, actually, either way, some might be. I know there are some pretty expensive collections with similar coins as the only pieces. It depends on how used they are and where they were minted (made), deleware/pennsylvania/san fransisco.

There r several machine to check those fake USD$. The way which I check the dollar is by its color. Just fold the note and rub it on a clean plain paper like how u strike match stick to make fire, if it leaves a mark or color then it is original and if it doesn't it is duplicate. I learned this in a training in Dubai.

I believe that you're referring to a 'Silver CERTIFICATE'...back before FDR took us off the Gold Standard (back in the day, you could cash in your bills for silver or gold...the government used to actually guarantee the $$$ was there)\nThey ARE collector's items; I've always been better at spending money than holding on to it, so I have no idea what they're actually worth, but I'm pretty sure it's worth more than a dollar.  Like any other old stuff, the better condition it's in, the more it'll be worth.  My suggestion would be to go to e-Bay and run a search for "1935 Silver Certificate" - that should give you a fair idea of what they go for, without having somebody try to run a fast one on you.\n\nAlso, try this link:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Certificate\n\nHope this helps...let me know what you find out.

I got some counterfeit money as change when I was in France. I didn't know the difference between a counterfeit 10 franc piece (coin) and a genuine 10 franc piece. I tried to spend it in a shop and the clerk wouldn't take it and said it was fake. I basically said WTF, I got it as change somewhere.  But they still wouldn't take it. I showed it to a local and they pointed out the little imperfections in it.  But it DID look and feel pretty similar, almost exact even to a genuine 10 franc piece, it wasn't an obvious fake like photocopies of dollar bills are.  And 10 francs was about $2 so who expects THAT to be fake??

Take out a one dollar bill.  I'm going to kick you a $2 bills worth of info. Read THIS.\n\nThe one dollar bill you're looking at first came off the presses in 1957 in its present design. This so-called paper money is in fact a cotton and linen blend, with red and blue minute silk fibers running through it. It is actually material.\n\nWe've all washed it without it falling apart.  A special blend of ink is used, the contents we will never know.\n\nIt is overprinted with symbols and then it is starched to make it water resistant and pressed to give it that nice crisp look.\n\nIf you look on the front of the bill, you will see the United States Treasury Seal.\n\nOn the top you will see the scales for a balanced budget.\n\nIn the center you have a carpenter's square, a tool used for an even cut.\n\nUnderneath is the Key to the United States Treasury.\n\nThat's all pretty easy to figure out, but what is on the back of that dollar bill is something we should all know.\n\nIf you turn the bill over, you will see two circles.  Both circles, together, comprise the Great Seal of the United States.\n\nThe First Continental Congress requested that Benjamin Franklin and a group of men come up with a Seal.\n\nIt took them four years to accomplish this task and another two years to get it approved.\n\nIf you look at the left-hand circle, you will see a Pyramid.  Notice the face is lighted, and the western side is dark. This country was just beginning.  We had not begun to explore the West or decided what we could do for Western Civilization.\n\nThe Pyramid is uncapped, again signifyingfying that we were not even close to being finished.  Inside the capstone you have the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol for divinity.  It was Franklin's belief that one man couldn't do it alone, but a group of men, with the help of God, could do anything.\n\n"IN GOD WE TRUST" is on this currency. The Latin above the pyramid ,\n\nANNUIT COEPTIS, means, "God has favored our undertaking."  The Latin below the  pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, means, "A new order has begun."  At the base of the pyramid is the Roman numeral for 1776.\n\nIf you look at the right-hand circle, and check it carefully, you will learn that it is on every National Cemetery in the United States.  It is also on the Parade of Flags Walkway at the Bushnell, Florida National Cemetery, and is the centerpiece of most heroes' monuments.\n\nSlightly modified, it is the seal of the President of the United States, and it is always visible whenever he speaks, yet very few people know what the symbols mean.\n\nThe Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two reasons:\n\nFirst, he is not afraid of a storm; he is strong, and he is smart enough to soar above it.\n\nSecondly, he wears no material crown. We had just broken from the King of England.\n\nAlso, notice the shield is unsupported. This country can now stand on its own.\n\nAt the top of that shield you have a white bar signifying congress, a unifying factor.\n\nWe were coming together as one nation.\n\nIn the Eagle's beak you will read, "E PLURIBUS UNUM", meaning, "one nation from many people."\n\nAbove the Eagle, you have thirteen stars, representing the thirteen original colonies, and any clouds of misunderstanding rolling away.  Again, we wer e coming together as one.\n\nNotice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an olive branch and arrows. This country wants peace, but we will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace.  The Eagle always wants to face the olive branch, but in time of war, his gaze turns toward the arrows.\n\nThey say that the number 13 is an unlucky number.  This is almost a worldwide belief. You will usually never see a room numbered 13, or any hotels or motels with a 13th floor.\n \n\nBut think about this:\n\n13 original colonies,\n\n13 signers of the Declaration of Independence,\n\n13 stripes on our flag,\n\n13 steps on the

No, never. But that would be cool, I lost a hundred dollar bill in my house somewhere. I wish I could find it.

I wasn't aware that they were available from old bills, but I don't know anything about them. You might want to ask in the newsgroups linked below.

Yes. The numbers are the same. But if you look at the original copy, the number is set in type. On the amended copy, the number is set by typewriter.

There should be a security strip....if you hold it up to the light you can see that it says 100   ( or whatever denomination you are checking)  There should also be a watermark....it should be a smaller version of the protrait of the president (franklin for the 100 although he wasn't a president)  that can also only be seen if you hold it up to the light....the watermark will not distort so if you find one with a funky watermark it's a fake....look at the lines that are close together and the small lettering....those are very hard to replicate without blurring or distorting....detail is the key.....one of the numbers in the corners (don't remember which one)should feel raised and change colors as you look at it at different angles.....there should be red and blue fibers visible....that's because money is not printed on paper but some form of cloth paper....You can try to carefully tear the bill....a real one will stretch a tiny bit where as a fake one on regular paper will rip...you can also feel the difference in paper.....You can try and buy one of those pens that banks use that change colors....you can try looking at it under a black light...a fake will light up like a flashlight....or you can wash it in the washing machine....regular paper will fade and fall apart in the first washing where as you would need to repeatedly wash real money until the appearance really changes..

James Madison.  Those bills were made by the Bureau of Engraving & Printing.  I believe they were last made with the 1934 series--and taken out of circulation in 1969.

It is a fake. Unless the entire front of the bill is upside down or the serial numbers are upside down.\n\nBut the picture of his head can not be the only thing that is upside down\n\nIf the entire front is upside down then it is about $1,100.\nIf the serial and seal is upside down then it is about $900.

If the money values are the same there is no problem. \n\n If the money values changed then you will need to file an admendment.

Many possible answers.  You have a dollar bill, a dollar coin, and two non-American coins.

Paper money is destroyed in a fire.  What extra marks?  You can send old bills to the US Treasury and they will send you the same amount back in nice crisp new ones.  Banks do the same thing...  Every once in a while, they come across a really messed up bill.  They send it back and they get new ones.
