The Fives have the two letter prefixes, would it have to be AA 03044030 A to be a true radar? I'm just curious. Technically YES. But you could also make the argument that IX 0403 3040 X (X = fed district = ending suffix) is true as well since I is the series year. Other could see this view point differently.Older series $5 and higher (small heads) had true radars etc as they did not have series year as part of the SN. |

I call that a palindrome That's what I was thinking. RADAR is an acronym in addition to being a palindrome. Why not just call it a palindrome? |

ceylon62 your notes are not true radars and matching letters do not matter as it would then be called a bookend bill. and what about higher denom. bills like a bill that has a letter combo of CE-C how is that a true radar if the serial number was a radar. go and learn the right terms and then come back when you have something to share.

i thought a true radar was 10000001 but that is just me. I guess we all got different opinions on true radars. I think maybe you are confusing true binary with true radar. That number would be what a lot of people would call a true binary super radar. The super part is because it has 6 repeating digits between the ones. It would need matching block and district letters to be a true radar, true binary, super radar. *edited to change the word numbers to letters and to add pic This is one I found a while back. It is NOT a true binary NOR is it a true radar, it is just a super radar binary.  Quote:

So did I! Thanks! I still think it's a keeper. The pursuit continues but, it doesn't look good...that's my only close call in my 65 years. Doubt I'll live another 65. LOL

Very nice find and it looks to be in pretty nice condition, with a few wrinkles. Storing it in big book might help a little to improve it. Most radar notes I see for sale from almost all dealers don't include the letters at all. And according to the BEP, they don't include the letters in the serial #. They call them the prefix letters. Not sure about the suffix letters. Look at the PDF files at the bottom of this web site: http://www.moneyfactory.gov/uscurre...nations.html |

Crakowski...should follow his / her own advice...cut and paste below of their own words. Items in RED contradicts it self. Quote:

That definition would not apply to Canadian Banknotes, which currently have a 3 letters followed by 7 numbers. Here only the numbers are considered.

That makes sense, but what then do you define as a "repeater"?

@coinfrog, I do not know the answer. Only single digits can repeat with 7 numbers, so they would be much fewer than with yours. On the other hand, with only 7 digits there are more radars. if you do the math, 1 in 1000 canadian banknotes is a radar (assuming that every number is used, which is probably not the case). I do not collect the fancy serial #s, although I can see the attraction of "interesting" numbers.
