Confirmed Match! SN B* 08881993

Duplicate Serial Number B* 08881993    

Project 2013B Confirmed Matched Pair SN B* 08881993

8's are lucky

The number eight is considered to be a lucky number in Chinese and other Asian cultures. Eight (八; accounting 捌; pinyin bā) is considered a lucky number in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word meaning to generate wealth (發(T) 发(S); Pinyin: fā). Property with the number 8 may be valued greatly by Chinese.

Ironically, this is the 13th match of 2024.

As far as matched pairs discovered by Project 2013B are concerned, the condition of this pair is well above 'average'. It should be interesting if and what these bills will grade as.

The 'Fort Worth' printed 2013B star note was registered 2022.10.26 by member CWiSx

Thanks a lot for the current notification. I am surprised - but very delighted - as you could imagine. And big props to you for all of the details that you sent regarding "finding" a matching pair of notes, and then the process thereafter. They are quite valuable and helpful - - a little for me, of course, but very helpful for others who are in possession of a matching note for the first time.

 

The 'Washington DC' printed 2013B star note was registered 2024.03.21 by member JRzUQ

Photos of the bills from both parties officially confirmed a match today.

Remember to check your spam folders just in case a matching pair announcement is emailed to you, and you could see your bill showcased here... not to mention having set that could bring thousands of dollars at auction (subject to bills condition of course).  Subscribe to the newsletter for extra 'insurance' against the spam folder scenario.
