There really aren't any "rare" serial numbers, all serial numbers are only used once on a particular denomination/issuing bank/series. The most in demand are the first notes and the last notes of each series. Also in demand are the ones with all consecutive numbers (such as the serial number being all 4s or 7s), also popular with some collectors are radar notes, notes with serial numbers that are the same backwards and forwards. Overall though, the paper money market is pretty cold right now and it is a lot harder to sell an interesting note, particularly a modern note with an interesting serial number than something like a rare coin.
