Repeat serial number bills: up to $160

It's always a good idea to check the serial numbers on the bills in your wallet or purse: after all, fancy serial numbers can command surprisingly high prices. For example: so-called "repeater" and "super-repeater" notes, which feature serial numbers that replicate the same one, two or three digits, can sell for up to $160, and sometimes significantly more, on eBay and similar auction sites.
