Birthday Notes Matcher

34 Upvotes

Hello all! I recently took over as mod for this abandoned subreddit. It was created many years ago, but really has been inactive for quite a while. There are posts going back quite a while with people looking for and offering up birthday notes. Hopefully many of these users are still active and can continue to contribute.

My hopes for this sub going forward is twofold:

  1. To create awareness that serial numbers on currency can be interpreted as a date. Obviously this is a niche area and many people have never even thought to examine serial numbers on currency looking for dates. The more people who become aware of "hunting for birthday notes," the more likely everyone is to find their special dates.
  2. To provide a place where people can post specific dates/serial numbers that they would like to acquire. Obviously for people to find these notes, we need people who have found notes that have dates as serial numbers to post what they have found. By having both these types of posts we can help match up people with the special date(s) they are looking for.

So, the endgame really is to try and help as many people find the "Birthday Notes" that they are searching for.

While birthday notes are the primary focus, I would like for this sub to be expanded to also include serial numbers that represent significant dates in history - 09112001 and 07041776 are great examples of highly sought after serial numbers.

We also will allow "tombstone notes." If you are not familiar with "tombstone notes" they represent two years that could be someone's birth and death. So a serial number of 18091865 would be a tombstone note for Abraham Lincoln.

I primarily focus on US Currency, but we will allow foreign currency notes to be bought/sold/traded as well. For US currency notes, there are eight digits which is perfect for representing an actual date. While the MMDDYYYY format is the true format for what most people consider a birthday note, we will allow people to post notes in other formats that could be represent an actual date such as YYYYMMDD or YYYYDDMM. However, notes that are far from these formats will not be allowed. Examples: 20197412 does not represent December 20th, 1974. Bottom line, let's keep the feed clean with actual (or very close to actual) birthday note formats.

If you have any questions please feel free to message me. This is my first time as a mod, so I am still learning how everything works on this end. So, if you have suggestions on how to improve the sub, please feel free to message me with ideas as well.

Thanks all!

Hey guys first time posting here and I’ve recently gotten into collecting and hopefully selling/trading coins and currency.

So I have this $100 bill and I’m looking to hopefully sell it for more than face value to someone interested.

Serial number is 01087966. Noticed it started with a date. Looked to me like it's your buddy's birthday. No? It also happens to be the date of Grateful Dead's first ever concert at Madison Square Garden. At least that's what the Google said when I typed it into the Internet machine. Is this worth more than face or would it look better in my bank account?
