I was sitting in a taproom, and as I got my change of about $16, I mentioned to the person next to me that I was a slightly crazier person after I had learned about "fancy" bills, because it got me to start reading serial numbers on the change I'd receive. And then I noticed this note in my change:

Because of the digits, or the condition?

At first glance, I wondered where you got radar or repeater from, but then I noticed you are breaking it down to the first 4 digits (radar) and the last 4 digits (repeater). Unfortunately, collectors look at the entire 8 digits as a whole. Then, I noticed the tear and the general condition....which looks like it soon might be pulled from circulation to be destroyed, or repaired with tape. I don't see any numismatic value whatsoever.

The more you drink, the better the note looks.

I'm afraid so. Just an interesting, coincidental arrangement of numbers.

I just noticed another $10 in my wallet that's the same kind of near-miss.

Maybe there's a way to cross-breed them - 08080909 or 12210990.
