I didn't get yu Radar,,,, but-but I asked the cashier at Timmy's if she had any Polymers?/ and she said yes but had none---that is until she looked right to the bottom of her stack of 5.oo's and only one---she gave it to me as my change for coffee. Looked at home and it was a Repeater--Although for couple hours I thought it was Radar....I hav been trying at banks for 10's and no luck yet-next week...? Yu are lucky with your stack of bills it is not easy to find Radars I found out...Good for yu (Nice).

You have the same luck as me.
I finally got a bundle of polymer 5's. While looking for replacements and radars, I finally came to the spot with a missing note. Instead of replacing it with a replacement note, they added a regular note at the end.

Maybe my Manager comment is out too lunch, as bundle is sealed? Or is still relevent....At my bank 2 tellers share a machine that dispenses the cash..They load it earlier in the day--so they could look at cash as they load the machine....

my bundle wasn't sealed. Just a paper sleeve around it. Anyone in the back could've easily gone through and removed/added as they seen fit.

If you have a bunch of bills with the serial numbers going up by one like that is it worth more then face value?

Example you had a bunch of new 20s and the serial numbers went from:

XXX11
XXX12
XXX13
XXX14

Would those be worth something?

Consecutive Notes are very common, usually you can go to a bank and grab them for face value.

No premium.

I found this out as well..nobody cares....I like them a little,,so I made the self rule to only go for 3 consec...not 5 or 9 in a row.....Even years later only face vaalue or may (Depends on denom.and note year,etc...) get a little juice when sell..

Lol. Your experience reminds of my almost radar $20 Federal Reserve note. I was at the cash machine and got 2 serials real close to the radar so I went right back and did a withdrawal to get the radar. The series broke at one number off from the radar IG 71411416 D and then there were ragged old notes after that point. The bank tellers had pulled the radar IMO. I was pretty ticked.
So now I have an "almost radar" in the banknote collection.

I have to say, Malibu...I will miss the old paper $10 and $20 Canadian notes. The peacekeeping and First Nations designs on the reverse of the note were really attractive. I saved a crisp unc of each one before the switchover. Also saved a hockey $5.
