    This is an excellent source of information to those who are willing to hear and see it. Definitely have noticed how common those listed serial numbers are. I do keep some of those because they are cool looking, but would never go out and buy them for the notes having them. Did notice that my Black Eagle, Puerto Rico $1 LT, and my Hawaii Overprint notes have a "Full House" on them, but do realize that gives them no additional value. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

    Something is worth what people pay for it, not what someone writes on a website that wasn't exclaimed, declared, certified, and notarized by the World Fancy Serial Number Organization (WFSNO). If it doesn't have WFSNO certification number, it doesn't matter what's written on a website. Imagine if the Northeast Regional Barber Dime Collectors Council came out and told everyone that wheat pennies aren't worth anything because there were billions minted and they pretty much all look the same. That would be stupid because to find the value of a wheat penny you look at what people pay for it not go by someone's opinion that they try to pass off as some type of decree that was issued from on high. "If you don't read music, you're not a real musician, you're a scam." "If you're not in the NBA, you're not a real basketball player, you're a scam." "Fleer isn't a real baseball card, it's a scam.", said the CEO of Topps. "Bitcoin is the only crypto currency. Everything else is a scam." "Government backed fiat currency is the only currency. Bitcoin is a scam." "What I like are the only good things. Everything else is a scam." Gatekeeping is a scam.

      Wow! Do me a favor. Put your money where your mouth is. Sell your house and invest in these crappy COMMON notes. Let me know how that goes. If you don’t want to risk your house, you can buy my scammer special on eBay and double your money. Someone commented about 7000 of these selling in the last 90 days. If you price something cheap enough, ignorant people will buy it. Based on the last election, there are at least 70,000,000 ignorant people in the country. So for only 7000 to fall for a scam is pretty good. Don’t rant. Prove me wrong and buy my half price garbage. You won’t. Nobody will. Why? Because they are worthless. My videos educate the ignorant. Lucky for scammers stupid people are breeding and there is a sucker born every minute. The only thing you are missing while defending sellers robbing the ignorant is the infamous “god bless”. As we know, god is on the side of people who take advantage of the innocent and ignorant.

I showed how EASY it is to find. They are worth face value. Go to the bank and get it. Open your wallet and look. They are not rare. Forget price. It doesn’t matter if it’s $5 or $50. I am not deciding a value for these. I am saying they are easy to find. They are common. Rarity and scarcity gives it value. Not laziness.

    That was good and I can understand (and sense) your frustration with scammers and this site too. They don't do a very good job distinguishing between what's Fancy and what is Rare or the correlation between the two. Sure, they have that disclaimer note but that doesn't really help. I mean how many people actually read it! And sure, there's nothing wrong with collecting whatever you want, if it gives you satisfaction that's great and all that matters. Isn't that what hobbies are for. I see a lot of people selling stuff and I can tell by the title where they got their information from. Anyway, it is a great source of information though. So, I leave you with this little advice, I used to get told this ALL the time at the Nuclear Power Plant I worked at when I felt passionate about something and trying to make a point. "You got to try and leave the emotion out of it." Easier said than done, I know I'm an Italian!!! Have a great day Mr. S and thanks for the vid.

    A few things I would like to mention about his video. 1. Thank you for posting this video. 2. He mentions that "dealers" would/wouldnt sell/buy these notes, but I know collectors that collect SN's that he says are worthless. 3. One thing not mentioned is that multiple "fancies" make the banknote more rare...example. Alone a triple _ double is worthless, but add a high Gas pump and that makes it more rare...or a quad and a 4-digit ladder by itself is not rare, but combine them into the same SN...that makes them more rare, a worthless SN combined with an uncirculated note may be worth something.
    I have been collecting/selling banknotes for only 4 months. It is so fun and I have customers that buy a variety of notes. This hobby is so fun. If I may give some advice....be kind to all collectors and sellers. It may seem like some are schisters...are they?...if you dont want to buy a "worthless" banknote, dont buy it. If you are buying them, do your research before you buy. If you like buying quads because that makes you feel good, buy the quads. I think Suplabak is giving good advice for people wanting to become serious collectors, but don't serious collectors already know this stuff? Buy what you want, but keep in mind the "collector's" value in the back of your head". Knowledge is power, well done Stuplubak. Now I'm just rambling on, sorry....as my wife usually tells me "You just missed a great opportunity to stop talking".

      Dealers are in the business of making money. They will sell anything WITH VALUE. If a dealer won’t sell it, it’s safe to say it’s worthless. I say ALL THE TIME collect what you like. But do not BUY worthless stuff. Everything you mentioned can and will be found in circulation over a little time. The point of collecting isn’t to complete a set TODAY, it’s a hobby that is supposed to take time. You talk about combining factors to increase value. You seem to forget 1x1x1x1 is still 1. You even threw in a “gas pump error “ as a thing. Best case scenario is that note is worth the shipping cost. They are always printing more. So in 10 years there will be more than there are today. That is not the formula for increasing value. Please don’t encourage scammers. Save what you like. Don’t pay good money for stuff you can find yourself with just a little effort.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠@@Stuplubakcurrencydemand drives value. Dealers will sell anything that has demand. If they won’t sell it, it’s because there isn’t demand. It doesn’t matter how much a stock has been diluted down, if the volume of demand is enough the stock price can gain significantly. So these items you deem worthless could even gain significantly in value so long as demand is sufficient. The customer is always right and the market determines the value based on supply and demand. Supply is pretty stable, making demand the variable factor.

    :43 You said “don’t pay for stuff that isn’t worth anything.” The worth of something is just YOUR opinion.

For you to call people “scammers” (your video yesterday) because they are selling something that YOU don’t find of value but others DO find of value is just WRONG on every level.

      So, to be crystal clear, you REALLY believe that a person would rather spend actual money on a HOBBY that they don’t have time to do instead of spending that same money on things that are actually collectible? You think someone who doesn’t have time to look through their own wallet would be better buying 5 trinaries for $10 each? I think you are confused as to what a “hobby” is. What happens when this “collector” decides to cash out his collection of 100 trinaries at a local coin shop and finds out that the $1000 he spent turns out to be worth face value? Actual collectors are very appreciative of this information. Sellers hate me for telling the truth. You tell me… How much is a trinary worth? Name your price. I have seen people claim upwards of $10!!! I have 1000 of them. You can have them for $5 each. That’s half price!!! You can double your investment if you REALLY BELIEVE they are worth something. But you know they are worthless. They are easy to sell to people who don’t know. And, most importantly, they are easy to find. That’s why they are worthless.

No reputable coin shop would be caught dead selling this crap. And YOU know this! What makes a note valuable? Rarity.

Some people join in on the scam and re enforce this idea in videos to profit from lazy people who don’t do research and put their trust in these RUclipsrs.

      Um… there are huge context clues. Like when I say “The book says $50 and it’s probably a little high, more like $20-$40”. The book used eBay sales to determine value. Unfortunately, newbie’s tend to buy things with lower prices figuring they will take a chance on an item without doing any research. That’s why you see scammers selling trinaries for $5-$10 and why this book will quote sales for them. No actual dealer would sell these.

He assumes that every serial number is available to be found in the “stacks” do you know how much currency is destroyed everyday lowering your chances of finding the serial number that there is “8 out of a thousand” of them making them “not rare”. I went through 5 straps and didn’t find 1 quad “86333328”. But as he says you should find at least 3 and he guarantees this!? lol! Stop giving off inaccurate information and discouraging everyone from buying the serial numbers that they want, are you trying to get people to not take these notes out of circulation to better your odds in finding them? lol dont worry what other People are buying and mind your own 👻

      You’re funny! Yes, every day they destroy currency. And every day they print more. There are more “fancy serial numbers every day! You gave up looking after 5 straps. I search 10 straps a week! If you want to see how common these are, watch ANY of my weekly strap searches and count how many I find. Stop scamming people.

      By the way, what do you sell, what do you tell people that they are worth and, most importantly, how much do you pay for them? Say the word, name your value, and I will find you hundreds. Unless, of course, you don’t buy notes because they are easy to find in circulation for face value.
