check_serial Read-only

Whether one US paper money note is worth keeping, from its serial number: the Federal Reserve Bank, the series (worked out from the serial when it is not given), every collector pattern in the eight digits with its exact odds, and for a star (replacement) note the print run it came from with the number of notes printed and its rarity band. Covers Federal Reserve Notes from Series 1963 on. Gives no price and no authenticity judgement.

serialstring, required

The serial as printed, spaces optional, e.g. "MB 123 45678 C", "B12345678C", or "A 000 00047 *" with * or ★ for the star.

seriesstring

The series printed on the note, only if known, as printed beside the portrait, e.g. "2017A", "2021", "1995".

denominationinteger

Face value in dollars: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100. Needed for the star note print run.
