My First True Radar.

Thanks for the welcome Jbuck and yes I guess flipper is the word I was looking for. Seems like a flipper Radar would need just 0's 1's and 8's then . The 6's and 9's flip but they become a different number so while it would still be a radar it isn't the same upside down.

I like notes but I'm mostly into coins and I'm only dimly aware of the different fancy serial types. I just keep my eyes open for low serials , stars , radar notes and birthday notes.
My best low serial number and star is this one that I got from a bank teller a few years ago

Never saw a number that low out in the wild.

This Boston star is fairly common, with an original print run of almost 1.3 million, and I would guess you could buy a decent CU example for $20-25. But the odds of finding one of the first 100 notes printed out of !.3 million? Do the math. Sensational catch!



to the paper money forum!

And frankly, regardless of how "radar" is defined, I think this note is just "super cool" because:
1. the serial number (828) is a radar number AND
2. the date (14-11-41) is a radar number

The low serial came from a teller that saves things for me at my bank. She had about $70 in $2 bills that came in at once . I normally wouldn't take that many , I'd assume they were discards but if someone is saving things for you you have to. You don't want to annoy them and cause them to stop gathering .
