A few years ago I heard about a guy with a bill valued at half a million USD because it had a number of 00000001A.
here's an old article about it that I just looked up,
http://www.npr.org/2013/10/24/240428480/last-word-in-business
(I think i saw it on TV at the time)I skimmed the article though and it has some good info and tips about this topic if you're interested.
Here are a list of number types you can look for in whatever bills you may have around right now.!
You may have something that you can throw on ebay or a better auction site and make some money with.
These are some main ones but there can be combos of these as well and some lesser ones but these are the most sought after by collectors
•'solid' - all numbers the same (11111111)
•'double quads' two sets of quads(11112222)
•'radar' - read the same forward or backward (12344321)
•'repeater' - first four same as last four (12341234)(like pictured above)
•'super repeater' -same 2 numbers repeating(12121212)
•'ladder' - numbers in numerical sequence (12345678 or 87654321)
•Low numbers (like the $10 certificate with 00000001 in the link above)
•7 in a row- (12222222 or 33333335) (also like the one in the link but not the reason it's so valuable)
•numbers that make famous dates like 07041776 or 09112001 can be worth money
Money Serial Number
• replacement notes or 'star notes' - These are bills that have a star by the serial number.These are printed when there is a mistake in the printing of a sheet of bills and they have to destroy it and reprint those serial numbers, when they do this they add a star next to the number . With Star notes, the higher the denomination, the higher the price. Combine a star with another rare pattern and you have a really collectable note!

The older or rarer your bill or certificate, and the bigger the denomination, the more it could be worth to people who collect these,of course condition is a big issue, but not as big as in regular bill or certificate collecting because these are one-of-a-kinds so it's not like they can say they will find a better condition one out there, like an old 00000001 is worth a lot even beat up however a mint '33333333' would be more valuable than a beat up '44444444', you get the idea hopefully.
I hope you enjoyed reading this and happy wallet-hunting :)
