"Just wondering,wouldn't a "true" radar have to end in an L in this case and not an A"

John,
It's a radar number note, the L and A are not numbers, there letters.

John,
Yes it would be nicer to have a note like that but I don't think it's really possible, the "full" number is LI-then the number then a single letter, and you will never find a number ending with two letters, and then what do you do about "star" notes ?.

The I in the SN indicates the district so it would not end in two letters,it would end with an L. John1 |

Well John,
If the I in the number is the district, and most know that is correct, and you said "a complete SN has numbers and letters right ?. So a true RADAR would be
LI05588550L."
Well if your going to use letters and not just numbers in the "radar number" then what do we do with the I at the end of the number, I noticed that it just "went away" with the example you gave. Never mind, you don't have to answer that.
I don't think your ever going to get what most currency collectors already know. Like you say in most of your post.
( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion )
Now I agree.
But I will say this in your defence, back when we had notes that only had two letters in the number, one at the beginning of the number and one at the end of the number you could find a note like your thinking of. But we are
talking about the new $ 100. here, not the older ones, and again I will say, you will never find a new note with two letters at the end of the number. So if you are saying that a true radar note has to include the letters then I guess the days of true radar notes are gone forever.

I already said that, but it seems that John does not understand it. His excuse is he's not a pro, and will never be a person that is an experienced Currency collector because for dome reason he cant "get it" no matter how it's explained to him.

I contacted coolserialnumbers.com and was told this: A12344321B is a radar A12344321A is a perfect radar.i used the word true instead of perfect. Bill Collector:sorry I ruffled your feathers,i did not indent to do that to a pro like you. Cmcart: Nice radar note find.Where do you get your notes from?You find a lot of nice ones. John1 |

John1,
It's nice that you think I'm a pro, let me be the first to tell you I'm not. I may have learned something after 50 + years of collecting, and have some expertise in certain areas of collecting but I don't collect currency numbers, I just collect US currency. Once in awhile I may sell some but I'm not a dealer and I don't make a living at it.
But after collecting for many, many years I've learned a lot about the different areas of collecting and collectors.
And I think I know a radar note when I see it. But I could be wrong.
Now please enlighten all of us as to why you dropped the I in your example of the Cmcart note. Have you ever seen two letters at the end of any newer note of any denomination ?.
John,
I'm always trying to learn something new so please explain.
Please also let us know what the expert on currency numbers had to say about the newer notes, I've already said that it was possible on the older notes, and most knew what he would say, but what did he have to say about the new notes ?

The Bill Collector, I contacted coolserialnumbers again and they said: What if it's one of the new notes that have two letters at the beginning?LI05588550A.Thanks, their answer: Terminology hasn't been settled for those. This is the last post for me on this subject and I will be staying away from the currency section for awhile,it's too chilly for me  John1 |

Thanks for the answer John, I guess we will have to still call it a radar till the "experts" come up with better Terminology. It's hard to believe that we have had numbers with three letters in them since 1996, that's pushing 20 years now. Wonder how much longer it will take for the experts to figure out what to call them. By now you should have learned that it's just not possible to have a "perfect" radar note with the new three letter numbers. John, I'm always happy to help out a new guy with things they don't understand about Currency. No need to thank me, just be happy that you learned something. Bill Collector |
