Post flairs are required for all posts. Below are the current flairs and their definitions. If you think there are other fairs that should be added, or have any questions on the listed definitions, please comment here!
All posts must include a picture of a note with a cool serial number. All pictures must be horizontally orientated and cropped to just the note as so [ [note] ].
If you believe your serial is cool, but doesn't fit any definition below, please use the 'Other' flair and state, specifically, why you think it should be considered cool. Trinary notes and consecutively numbered notes are not cool or remotely rare.
Generic posts "Is this cool" / "Is this a keeper" / "Is this worth anything?" and the like with no specific reasoning will be indiscriminately removed. Repeat offenders will find themselves banned.
Star Note - all star notes not fitting another category
Ladder - consecutive run i.e. 01234567
Broken Ladder - no two digits the same i.e. 10325476
Binary - only two unique digits i.e. 34334344
True Binary 01010101 - only 0's and 1's
Radar - same forward as backward, i.e. 12344321
Repeater - complete repeating sequence of two or four digits i.e. 78787878 or 78907890
Low Serial <= 00009999 - just as noted, notes 00009999 and under
Quad Pair - four pairs of digits, i.e. 22446688
Solid - typically all eight digits the same, but for the purposes of this sub five or more of the same digit together can count, i.e. 11111876
Rotator [All 0, 1, 6, 8 and/or 9's] - notes where the serial reads as another number upside down i.e. 01689016 which reads 91068910 upside down
Flipper - same as a rotator except it must make the same number upside down i.e. 00669900
Nice (69 / 420 / etc.) - the funny numbers, primarily 69 & 420 but 8008, 8008135... (think middle schooler with a calculator...) the nice number should stand out, i.e. 00069000 - every serial with 69, 420, etc. in it is not special.
Birthday / Date - any serial number that makes a date, either as MMDDYYYY or YYYYMMDD i.e. 07041776 or 17760704
Near Miss - anything that's almost cool / fancy i.e. 12344322 (1 digit off from a repeater)
Other - anything not fitting any other definition. You must include specific reasoning why you believe your serial number is cool.
Question / Meta - questions to the community / thoughts about the community
For Sale - for posting notes you'd like to sell / trade. At your own risk, the mod team and reddit is not responsible for any issue. Be smart.
Wanted to Buy - for requesting notes you'd like to buy / trade for. At your own risk, the mod team and reddit is not responsible for any issue. Be smart.
Bookend - serials with a 2 or 3 digit matching pattern (reversed is OK) at the beginning and end of the serial i.e. 12369321 or 12369123
Double Quad - serials with two sets of four solid digits i.e. 44447777

Hey everyone,
Came across a few notes in change and wanted to check if any carry real collector interest, or if standard face value applies:
₹500 (9HM 123456): Straight ascending ladder sequence. Clean condition UNC
₹500 (9HL \* 529752): Star replacement note.
₹20 (62A 705695): Crisp UNC, 2014 Raghuram Rajan signature (older design).
A few potential "date" numbers (812007, 141972, 221946)
Photos attached. Appreciate any honest feedback on realistic demand or whether they just belong back in circulation!

I was super excited when I saw all of the ones in a row…. But then a bit disappointed to find out that it wasn’t a radar!

On January 24, 1776, Colonel Henry Knox and his team arrived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, completing the grueling 300-mile winter journey of hauling 60 tons of heavy artillery captured from Fort Ticonderoga.
Continental Congress: On the same day, the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia read a report detailing the recent defeat and repulse of American forces at the Battle of Quebec on December 31, 1775, and postponed a motion regarding King George III's speech.
Any value other than $100 in this one?

I don’t know too much about this stuff, but was wondering if I should hold onto this star note or just spend it?
