Brett Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I was wondering how common it is to find mismatched serial numbers on world banknotes???? Do they bring a higher premium??? For example on the note one serial number reads AA0095178 and on the same note the other reads AA0095638 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ætheling Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I would think that highly unusual... the numbers are supposed to match. (In my very, very limited experience they should anyway). Could they be forgeries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 It happens. I had a Canadian $20 from circulation last year which went for $300. A US error would probably be more, but a world one from an obsecure country, probably considerably less (maybe $50?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 It would bring a higher premium, to be sure. The worth, like always, depends on the country, the denomination and the cnodition. My only note with mismatched numbers is a 1935 Farmer's Bank of China note http://www.banknotebank.com/coin_view.aspx?id=897581 and it is a rag. The only reason I keep it is because it's mismatched and a curiosity, and a good example of why you should try to collect in as ggod a condition as possible, especiially next to the UNC one I have. I actually got it in one of those "30 Notes for 10 Dollars" deals on Ebay, as I was going to put them on a table and cover it with Polyurethane (I never did, though). This note was likely overlooked as it is in such horrible condition, and thus worth extreemly little, even with the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Well the note was a New Zealand P-CS190 . A 1999 millennium note with red serial numbers. The serial numbers were NZ 00730958 / NZ 00730678 in UNC condition. It sold for $209. I didn't win it, wasn't sure how high to bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San_Miguel98 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 that's too bad you didn't snag it. that note had a printing of just 500,000- and i'm sure there can't be very many of those mismatched number errors floating around. $209 was a good deal.

Brett Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I went as high as $200. But it wasn't enough in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notofilia Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 This error is not too hard to find, from my experience at least with Colombian currency I have a couple of examples of mismatch serial numbers from banknotes with different denominations.

gxseries Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 This error is not too hard to find, from my experience at least with Colombian currency I have a couple of examples of mismatch serial numbers from banknotes with different denominations. I disagree. It depends on which country you are talking about. If you can find any mismatched banknotes from Japan or Korea and Australia, I will be more than suprised as they have very standards of checking the notes.

I agree gxseries some countries have a better checking system than others. That's why I said from my experience at least with Colombian currency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 they do happen but the price of these bills are determined on which country it is from....how many numbers are off....and which numbers are off...and also the denom of the bill....They are more common on smaller bills cause of course they make more of them....can't comment on this guy tho...but if it were a US bill with that many numbers off it would be some bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
