[almost] Interesting Serial Number

Those type serials are referred to as a rotator or a flipper. It obviously can only have certain numbers in the serial like 1, 6, 8, 9, and 0. Some say that 1's don't count (because it's not symmetrical) but I say hogwash. Here is mine.

I thought that because the numeral one isn't just a straight line that it would not be a rotator.

Happy to learn otherwise.

It is a cool note with a cool number.

I am one of those who thinks ONE is not a flipper.

As Nick said collectors will see / view things differently.

Nice note nick....Zee had / has 6000 0009 or 9000 0006...not sure of the exact placement etc...but it was a flipper radar.

I just did a quick check on the so called "flipper" number notes and found three of them in my Small Size collection, may have more, didn't check all of them, I guess there not that hard to find. I haven't checked my Large Size collection for numbers like that.

But if 1's don't count then I may have none. And that's ok because I don't collect currency that way. But I'll keep checking, I only looked at about half of my Small Size and none of my Large Size. I'll check the rest in a day or two.

Some have also said that the Eagle note I posted may not be a true Radar because the letters in the number are different ?.

I was wondering if people would get the wrong idea of what we were talking about since that first note is not a flipper. Guess we should have clarified that better.

I must have misunderstood what a "flipper" note was. I thought it was a number that of course could be read right side up but when held up side down, or "flipped", a different number could be read.

Such as my 000910 right side up would be 016000 up side down.

So if this is not a flipper what is it ?, not that I care that much as I only collect currency not currency numbers but I am curious.

This is starting to sound interesting, not knowing anything about how numbers are collected other than some are just neat like all 1's etc. I was sure that what I had were flippers. I would never had thought of something like this myself because I had no interest in just numbers. I'll check some of my old e mails later tonight an see if I can find where I got that idea from.
