A 5-digit radar Cambodian banknote
Had this note for ages & only just realised it was a radar
- what a pleasant surprise to discover you have a 3 digit radar!
Note that while the SN may have 5 digits it's the
number of matching digits which should determine its descriptive name: so a 1 digit (which you never hear- because most will call it a "solid" radar) would be 55555 (because 1 digit matches); a 2 digit could be 94449 (because 2 digits match); a 3 digit radar (3 matching numbers) etc. The Columbian/Burmese notes I posted are 3 digit radars while the Bank of Guyana $100 note is a 2 digit radar.
When determining the book value (of any radar) it is more important to consider the # of total digits in the entire SN because it's more difficult to find radars as total # of digits increase. So the odds of a 3 or 4 digit radar found in a 7 digit SN notes is 1 in 1000 but in an 8 digit SN they would be 1 in 10,000
