I think you mean "numerals" (or just "numbers"). 😅😬

    There are no decimals in the serial number, therefore there are also no repeating decimals

    It's not possible because that's 16 digits.

    Everything is in base 10 (unless it's in unary).

    hey neat! I have that exact same bill!

    fun fact: 1$ bill weighs almost exactly 1 gram and you idiots don't even use the metric system.

    It actually changes based on how much cocaine and human fluids it absorbs. That sounds like a joke, but I used to calibrate currency scales. There would be one setting for regular bills, and one for crisp, brand new ones; those would weigh measurably less and required compensation.

    Now that's an interesting firing order.

    None of this 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3 or 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 nonsense, no

    Just 8-4-3-1-6-7-2-5 👌

    I can’t help but wonder how you noticed this

    I heard somewhere recently that the length of a USD One Dollar bill is the average human penis length

    Someone figure out the probability!

    If I remember high school math correctly, The first digit can be anything so, 10/10 options, the second digit cant be be the first so only 9/10 options, then 8/10 for the third, continue this pattern for each digit and multiply together you get 1.8% chance.

    10 x 9 x 8... etc. yields 1,814,400 possible combinations of no repeats, right? I'm confused what the "whole" is if this is expressed as a percent.

    A lot of people collect bills with interesting serial numbers, with stars, etc. a serial number with all the same numbers, or in numerical order, a palindrome, etc., all carry premiums.

    This is an intriguing one. It would probably be interesting to them, because it doesn't have any repeating numbers, but it isn't obvious, like if they were in order. Still, I'll bet it's worth a little more than $1, but not much.

    Somebody might, but as a group they don't value these. They are pretty picky, there's a lot of notes of there.

    The type closest to this would be Ladders I think. Like 12345678 or 23456789. True ladder are very rare and valuable but broken ladders are pretty common. By the time you get to something like 67890432 you probably wouldn't have any premium to the average buyer

    Approximately 10987654*3/10^8 so about 0.0018144 I think?

    A sequential bill

    You might be able to get more than a dollar for it from a collector. There are numismatists that like interesting serial numbers. Probably won't get a lot since they aren't in order but who knows.
