Got This Note At Work Today....

I think a radar note would be 86200268...But I'm not 100% sure.

Bank note serial numbers having a sequence of digits that repeats itself is called a repeater, for example 86208620 would be a repeater, since the four digits 8620 is repeated twice. This note, 86200862, is not a true repeater, because 8620 in the first four digits is not the same as 0862 in the second four digits.

A radar note must read the same forwards and backwards, for example 86200268 is a radar, since reading this sequence backwards is again 86200268. Lucky's note, 86200862, read backwards is 26800268, which is not the same number as reading it forwards.

Bookends occur when the same sequence of digits can be found at both ends of the serial number. The three digit sequence 862 can be found at both ends of Lucky's note, 86200862, so Luck's note is a bookend note.

Therefore I would say that Lucky's note, 86200862, is not a true repeater note and not a radar note but it is a bookend note.

There is a good guide to serial number types on ebay.
