I am new to fancy serial number collecting but my job as a cashier has expanded my access to lots of money so it's easier to find these. I found this one amongst some a guy paid with. Set it aside in my wallet after noticing the serial number. The bill is somewhat crisp but has some areas where it has been folded and worn, but no tears. Is it worth keeping or is it just a spender?

Radar note: The numbers have the same sequence backwards or forwards.

Thank you! I figured it was definitely a radar, though some people have different tastes in what's a keeper and what's not. I'm happy with my first fancy serial number find!

- although some here might advise you to spend it, I always kept my radars, replacements, and any note I thought had a decent # which I found while I worked at a carwash (many years ago). Some eventually were swapped for better finds (& between other collectors), some sold on ebay and a few I've still got. It's what made me enjoy the hobby. I agree with the 4 other posters (definitely would keep my 1st radar find from the wild).
