I received two sets of two one-dollar bills from the bank with consecutive numbers. Are these fake?

I know that credit cards and account numbers are not issued with consecutive numbers, but are dollar bills? Today I received two sets of two one-dollar bills from Washington Mutual. Each set includes two bills that have consecutive last numbers (like the last number is 6 and then on the next one it is 7) and all the other numbers are the same. Please let me know. Thanks!I received two sets of two one-dollar bills from the bank with consecutive numbers. Are these fake?
congrats! you got new money! new money likes to stick together, so be careful...put old bills in between them or crunch one up or something. think of this....ALL bills in circulation are in a series....and somewhere out there is the next number in the series. pretty cool, huh? don't sweat it...they're valid, just new.I received two sets of two one-dollar bills from the bank with consecutive numbers.

Their different then, serial is not exat same.
If the bills are issued from the bank they very well may be consecutive and valid. More often than not a bank will remove any questionable bills before returning the rest to circulation.
Bills are issued with consecutive numbers. If you ever get a fresh pack of bills (say, 100 1's), you'll find that the entire pack consists of a consectutive run of digits. Makes counting 'em that much easier, I'll say.





On top of that, there just isn't any point in counterfitting $1 bills - the difficulty and expense of making them would more than eat up any profit that could be made by passing them.
Paper currency is issued with consecutive numbers. Banks don't accept counterfeit money and wouldn't send it to you.
They're not fake, just brand new, never circulated. Counterfeiters almost never change the serial on their bills, one of the ways you can tell they're fake. It isn't even worth it to fake a$1, a $1 or even a $20. Most counterfeiters would rather make the biger bills well than make the smaller bills.





Look for the cotton threads in blue and red running through the paper. It's made in a secret process, carefully guarded, and even posession of blank paper is a major crime.





To prevent them from sticking together (especially large bills) crinkle them a little, they are easier to separate and you won't accidentally give two to a cashier.
my question to you is do you not have anything better to do with your time than to read the serial # on dollar bills and who cares even if they were fake its only 4 dollars and what kind of criminal enterprise would print fake 1 dollar bills? They at least go fot 5 or tens!
I can't believe you have that much time on your hands. Would you like to do my taxes for me!





Haha, don't worry about it. If you are worried about it, then use the money at different places.
Send me all of your bills and I will examine them for you. Seriously, I wouldn't worry about it. The banks get money directly from the federal reserve bank so it is very possible to get consecutively numbered bills.
If you got them from the bank there not fake . The bank is very careful scanning money to make sure it is legal tender!!You just happen to get two bills that were printed one after the other!!!
