First of all Happy Chrismas!!
Next, I would like to point out that I do not collect banknotes, only coins, but yesterday gave me these four consecutive 5 euro banknotes plate V015A1, which caught my attention...my question is...does the combination of 3 of their series form a palindrome group/trio? These would be the endings 68, 77, 86. For me, except for curiosity, they have no more value than their corresponding facial ones, but perhaps the combination will be interesting for some other collector and I feel sorry for separating them by spending them, when someone could be excited to have them in your collection....Be careful that I am not speaking from my monetary interest since you can earn little, what's more, I will surely spend them as I am not in the mood to save banknotes or be waiting to sell them...but it does win me satisfaction, that if the combination is a good collectible, it will not be lost for the enjoyment of those who know how to appreciate it...
The worst thing about this story is that there were 5 bills...and I spent one before they caught my attention, probably with a 259 ending...which would make it a palindrome quintet 5968778695...It makes me very angry, I know where I spent the ticket but it will be impossible to recover it....

No: for any palindrome (or radar) you have consider all the digits - not just digits you wish to consider. So for the 2002 10 Euro below:
5-Euros-Banknote-Consecutive,-Palindrome-Trío?

all 11 digits must form the palindrome. So for the 10 Euro note above, the only digits that could make it a radar is if it were:
06406460460 (bold # replacing 29187)

Trying to catch a radar on Euros could be a very frustrating prospect since they're issued via a check sum formula & NOT consecutively (plus you're looking for 11 or 10 digits to form a palindrome which makes the odds very tough)

Check out a page I created for special serial numbers. It may help clear up any confusion:

thanks for your answer!
I have seen that collectors of euro bills sometimes form banknote couple called radar, using the last two figures (last serial number + checksum) of consecutive series (consecutive without counting the checksum)... like this example. ... https://www.delcampe.net/es/colecci...3123072.html or this https://www.delcampe.net/es/colecci...0191628.html
I have no doubt about that, my doubt arises when a third consecutive bill is also interposed, forming a radar trio...

There are many sellers who misattribute what they're selling in order to dupe newbies out of their money.

Examples of this unscrupulous practice abound & include calling a Bank of Canada Modified 1954 $2
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note201765.html
a Devil's Face $2.00
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note201763.html

(I can think of other misattributions which I continue to see online but won't bore you with the details. Typically it always a much more recent modified version of a note labelled as a much older version).

There's also a phenomenon of new "terms" out there first propogated by Youtubers & other social media "collector gurus." Some of the terms include "broken & mixed ladders" plus other near misses.

There are also doctored & fantasy notes sometimes hyped up as something they're not (issued by a central bank). One of the biggest scams is to stamp a normal note & call it something it isn't. There's no limit to some of these con artist's imaginations.

Here's a thread covering some unscrupulous sellers who recently stamped old German notes & then sell/market them as "Ghetto POW" notes:
