 obtain the lowest serial number possible

Condition

Condition of the banknotes is always important  the better the condition the higher the price A minor
crease on an otherwise mint condition note will drop the value by at least thirty per cent  If you find
a banknote  look after it and keep it flat. We have had people pin banknotes to letters devaluing them
