Just wanted to show this cool bill I've had in the collection for awhile. Just put it on ebay although I'm now kicking my butt for it. It's pretty rare even in its circulated condition. I've read that rotator bills are 127 out of 9,999,999.  |

It's neither a rotator or radar, or a rotator radar.
Now, a rotator rader is 127 in 9 999 999
Firstly, you Need the digits 3 1 0 or 8, the only numbers that read the same upside down as right side up, and for it to be a rotator radar it also needs to be sequenced as such in a radar fashion
You have 9's upside down and 6's right side up

For example: 6008009 would read the same upside down or rightside up. |

I did't say that it was a radar. It's a binary or 2 digit number. It's definitely a rotator.
Also, most collectors will not consider the number 1 to be a true rotator number.
True rotator numbers are 0, 6, 8, and 9.

Yes, my digits are wrong, apologies for my error.
it's a rotator in that you can read numbers upside down, but for it to be a rotator true to definition it needs to read the same way up side down, so it can only include a radar sequence of th the 0 6 8 9 digits
Another example of a rotator would be an 6660999 or 0800080, the later being a binary rotator
All rotators have to have an embedded radar sequence to start with if I'm reading the definition right?

No problem Alan. I was told that it has to be read as a number right side up and upside down with only 0, 6, 8 and 9's

We all thought you were talking about a SWIMS note, where the number is the same if rotated 180°. If it's still read as a number when rotated, that doesn't really mean much. What you have is just a binary.
As a side note, I believe the digit 8 is not the same when flipped- the bottom loop is larger than the top.

I just found this in circulation by chance. Here's a rotator/SMIMS note.  |

Wow, that's really neat, should make a new thread to show that off. That's exactly what we're referring to!

Nice! If you ignore the asymmetry in the 8s, it would be a SWIMS note.

Why are these types of notes desirable?
