I have a polymer $20 banknote, and I'm not sure if it's worth keeping. The serial number is FIL3262344. There is one fold in the middle. Should I keep it or spend it?

Thanks in advanced!

The serial number doesn't ring any alarms to me... Why would you thing this serial number is so special?

I thought it was special because the first digits make a radar, I was wondering if the 44 ruins it.

For it to be a radar... all the digits have to be included...

Keep it if you like it... who's to tell you what to keep or spend... Just know that it will only be worth $20 for a very very VERY long time...

The new bills, even if it is a radar but circulated, I would still think about spending it.

I would take it to the nearest coin store and trade it for something shiny.
