I did't say that it was a radar. It's a binary or 2 digit number. It's definitely a rotator.
Also, most collectors will not consider the number 1 to be a true rotator number.
True rotator numbers are 0, 6, 8, and 9.

Yes, my digits are wrong, apologies for my error.
it's a rotator in that you can read numbers upside down, but for it to be a rotator true to definition it needs to read the same way up side down, so it can only include a radar sequence of th the 0 6 8 9 digits
Another example of a rotator would be an 6660999 or 0800080, the later being a binary rotator
All rotators have to have an embedded radar sequence to start with if I'm reading the definition right?

No problem Alan. I was told that it has to be read as a number right side up and upside down with only 0, 6, 8 and 9's

We all thought you were talking about a SWIMS note, where the number is the same if rotated 180°. If it's still read as a number when rotated, that doesn't really mean much. What you have is just a binary.
As a side note, I believe the digit 8 is not the same when flipped- the bottom loop is larger than the top.

I just found this in circulation by chance. Here's a rotator/SMIMS note.  |

Wow, that's really neat, should make a new thread to show that off. That's exactly what we're referring to!

Nice! If you ignore the asymmetry in the 8s, it would be a SWIMS note.

Why are these types of notes desirable?

Some collectors fancy radar notes, some fancy rotator notes, some fancy regular common notes. They are all unique. Rotator notes do look cool... As you turn the note upside down, it's still the same number.

I find it difficult to keep $100 notes for any reason. So does my wife!
