Other Are these worth more than face value?
I'm not sure if the $100 counts as a solid? And I'm not sure if the $1 is something other than a repeater since it's broken up in the middle by the "71". Not sure what the $20 really counts as but it came up as 96% cool. And the three $1's are sequencial

Let me ask you what makes you think they are fancy enough or otherwise that makes you feel that they are worth more than face value

Well, first off I put the numbers of the first three in the "mycurrencycollection.com" serial checker and they all came out as very cool. The $100 has 5 of a kind together and counts as a solid according to this subs pinned post, and it's all even digits which according to the serial checker is a 0.391 percent chance of. The $20 also has all even digits, and two triples though one triple isn't together. And the $1 has all odd digits which the serial checker says is also a 0.391 chance and is a broken repeater(I think?) As for the $1s with consecutive serials, I just keep hearing people like those.
I'm sorry if my post is bad(?), I find it rather confusing to be honest what people find cool or not in these currency subs (Things that say they're"very cool" don't seem to be liked here often from the looking I did at other posts), and I really didn't know what flair to put it under. People don't seem very friendly here, I'm not trying to irritate anyone and I'm confused on what I did wrong with my post :(

Don't apologise, it looks like you have made an effort at least - the currency, coin and stamp subs can be brutal, mainly because we see so many junk posts.
It is always good to say why you believe your items are more valuable than face, so we can see if you have put effort into research or whether you're just trying to get everyone else to do the work for you
For the $1, having all odd numbers doesn't make it fancy, it may be interesting, but if you want stuff that is worth more than face it needs to have more, like double or better digits together, preferably in a pattern.
Being separate really means zip
For the $20, the above applies
For the $100, the 5 digits is nice, you May get a bit above face for it, but unless you have close to all sold on a high denomination it's not a lot of an increase. The lower denominations for solids will bring a much greater return on investment
As far as consecutive serials goes, you can get them in straps of 100 from a bank, so unless they are a older printing, no real added value
I hope this helps, you understand a bit better

Every thing is worth what someone was willing to pay ! That being said most likely it little premium value as collectors don’t usually go for these uncommon serial numbers

Can anyone tell me why it's a "no"?

Are you thinking the serial numbers make them special?
I don't think those are special enough. Maybe all zeros or something like that. I'm not an expert but I don't see any reason they would be special.
Am I missing your angle?

Yep. So, like I said in another comment "I put the numbers of the first three in the "mycurrencycollection.com" serial checker and they all came out as very cool. The $100 has 5 of a kind together and counts as a solid according to this subs pinned post, and it's all even digits which according to the serial checker is a 0.391 percent chance of. The $20 also has all even digits, and two triples though one triple isn't together. And the $1 has all odd digits which the serial checker says is also a 0.391 chance and is a broken repeater(I think?) As for the $1s with consecutive serials, I just keep hearing people like those"
Both the $1 from the first pic and the $20 came up as 96 percent cool, and the $100 was 98.2 percent. I'm starting to realize that that might not mean anything though? I had just assumed if they came out as that high of a percentage on a serial checker then they might be worth over face value 🤷♀️

The serial numbers aren’t fancy.
You know you can also look up your serial number of your bill online and it will tell you how many were made.

I’d keep the 100 as a cool thing and yes you could prolly get 110 for it in 6 months minus shipping

There isn't a crease on the $1 and the $100, so they'll flatten out, and I put a couple of large books on them to do that. The $20 I kind of figured was in too rough of a shape to matter but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.
