Understanding the Near Solid Serial Number

The serial number MB79999949J is classified as a Near Solid fancy serial number, a pattern that is highly prized by currency collectors.

The serial number on this note reveals important information about its origin. The prefix MB decodes as follows: the first letter, M, indicates the note belongs to the Series 2013, and the second letter, B, identifies the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as the issuing bank.

A Solid serial number consists of a single repeated digit, such as 77777777. A Near Solid is almost a solid but contains one or two differing digits. Your serial number 79999949 contains the digit 9 repeated five times consecutively, making it highly visually striking and desirable to collectors.

Near solid serial numbers attract significant interest from collectors who specialize in fancy serial numbers. In the world of paper money collecting, patterns like near solids can command premiums above face value. The value ultimately depends on the note's condition and a buyer's specific interest in the pattern.

The Series 2013 Twenty Dollar Federal Reserve notes began entering circulation in early 2014. As the official records show, the M prefix in the serial number designates the Series 2013, which featured the signatures of Secretary Jacob Lew and Treasurer Rosie Rios.

The Twenty Dollar Note Legacy
