Redzapsid Pillar of the Community Canada 1571 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 3:07 pm I've got several radar bills that are found in circulation, with average wear. It's not the grade I'm looking to determine but rather if the seriel numbers are anything special aside from being radars. Thanks in advance. The bills are $50 FMY2494942 $50 AME4881884 $20 BIV0329120 $20 FIR5162615 $20 FVM3880883 $20 FWC8621268 $10 FTJ4342434 $5 HBK9373739 Report this Post to the Staff

Redzapsid Pillar of the Community Canada 1571 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 4:10 pm I don't want to be tying up funds that could be spent in a better way if these are never going to be worth anything more than face value. Dispite having a small collection, I'm not really a radar collector Report this Post to the Staff

Redzapsid Pillar of the Community Canada 1571 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 9:01 pm What I'm hoping to find out is if any of the prefixes are rare or hard to find. I don't have easy access to the bills, otherwise I'd take pictures. I'll try to post some first chance I get. I had the seriel numbers written down so thought it'd be a good place to start. Thanks for the replies. Report this Post to the Staff
walk2dwater Pillar of the Community Canada 2578 Posts	Posted 02/01/2019 9:57 pm Prefixes of each radar you listed are full 10 M runs (no change-overs) so nothing special. Problem is most people collect only AU - UNC when it comes to modern day radars. There's so many collected these days that premiums are hard to come by. (More difficult special numbers: rotators, low # & million # or even 2 digit radars would likely be kept). Just older series 3/4 digit radars may be worth keeping in circulated condition (but as another poster replied- keep them- they cost you nothing & they're nice #s). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Report this Post to the Staff
