What it is worth

A small premium. Trinaries are common enough that they usually need a second pattern to be worth listing.

Condition matters as much as the pattern. A crisp uncirculated note can be worth many times the same serial in worn condition, which is why RareBill shows value ranges with links to current listings rather than a single number.

Where it sits

Among the sixteen patterns RareBill checks, trinaries rank #15 by scarcity.

Only high serials, binaries, birthday notes are rarer among the patterns RareBill checks.
