Kevin L. asks:Â What is different about the series 1988 and 1988A on US paper money? One other question – is a set of normal but CU paper money with consecutive numbers valuable?
1. The series date on paper money doesn’t change unless there is a design or signature change. For example, the one dollar series 1988 notes have the signature of Oretega and Brady, the 1988A series has the signatures of Villapando and Brady.
2. Currency with consecutive numbers are not necessarily valuable unless they have some other attribute such as “fancy” numbers or “change-over” signature pairs (number increments and signature changes).
