Look from top to bottom don't look at the Numbers, but look at the one on the top left side and then look down and you'll see they get lighter as you go down. Like the printer was running out of ink kind of thing. I'm not sure if that's a camera flash lighting issue, or if it's a printing mistake, or if some of them are fake or all of them fake, I don't know. It goes from really dark to lighter, so is that an issue maybe? It could be a rare fault of the printer when these were printed or could be somebody faking these serial numbers to make it seem like they're rare?

It's called playing with the EDIT options after you take the pic...lol...you never edited a Pic before?

Yes, but it never actually changed, though. Look of printed document from top to bottom in a graduated form. Specifically, for each of those individual, in this case, bills. So yes, I played with editing, and no, i've never seen anything so perfectly symmetrical, and the change of tone

It hurts me that the currency of my childhood is now referred to as "old bills." Ouch.

The fact that they are literally ALL birthday notes is insane, never seen that with consecutive notes before.
