2017 Radar Palindrome $1 Bill L 42133124 B

Very nice!

Nice!

It often takes me several months to a year to find one & I make several recycles (withdrawals) of about 500-1000 notes per month at times. Plus I'm looking for 7 digit (Canadian radars) not 8 (which are even tougher odds). I must admit I'm inconsistent (partly b/c it sometimes seem so fruitless/daunting at times). I think if collectors knew how tough these numbers are to find, they'd be appreciated more.

Nice set of numbers on that one too.

It is rarer to find a radar bill (1 in 10,010) than a binary bill (1 in 8,749). I have found 3 binary bills (one I found in change which isn't counted in my hunting stats).

-Yes "Coinfrog" you're absolutely correct. But I do it more out of curiosity & consider it part of the hobby. If my goal were strictly to score radars (or any special #), a change-over, or anything collectible, than it could become frustrating fast. I enter some (or all) of the notes serial # (+ FPN & BPN's) into the CPMF's (Canadian Paper Money Forum's) SNDB (Serial Number Database) which helps us collectors determine the scarcity of today's signature change-overs & short prefixes. Knowing that my recycling cash isn't all about scoring helps as it can become pretty tedious waiting in a queue to change (recycle) 100 notes. I take frequent breaks from it as it became even more challenging recently.

As a minor plus, it has also given me a healthy perspective on how tough finding a 2 digit radar (vs a 3 digit), a low # (I've caught a few) or even an error note (which I have yet to find).

I sold this bill on ebay for $18.50

Cool!

Looking in my records, I've sold about 30 $1 bills for $10 or more.
