Hi Guys -

I appreciate folks willing to help me out and share some of their knowledge. I have seen the term binary and radar, for currency. What specifically are those types of numbers?

Thanks in advance.

Rest in Peace

binary - two numbers, usually alternating

radar - palindromic - reads the same forward and backward

Thanks...the radar seems straight forward enough.

On the binary, does it have to be the same two numbers throughout the serial number?

Yes a binary number uses the same 2 numbers through out Such as 22525525 or 06000660.

The radar is straight forward as you said. Here is an example. 12544521

Maybe some of the members can post some pics of these types of bills for us all too enjoy. Thanks Derek

@divchaser

I'm glad I could help you out. There are many people on this forum and other that have given me a lot of good info. I'm glad to pass it on to others.

I almost forgot. The most important info I learned was every wants pics. So here is a pic Of my newest Radar. The best part is not only are the numbers a radar but the block letters match also.

I found this note at the restaurant where I work. There is quit a bit of cash changing hands each day which allows me to find a couple of interesting notes each week. This is one of my favorite $1 finds along with a XF web note I found a few months ago.
