southerngent Valued Member United States 469 Posts	Posted 06/17/2010 1:06 pm I cashed a check for a sizable amount and took it all in twenties. Two of them had interesting serial numbers. One is a 2006 #II23434232A and the other is a 2001 #CE0764467C. I think the first one would be considered a trinary but the second one is almost a radar. What says the group, spend or save? Any value over face? Report this Post to the Staff

Namachieli Pillar of the Community United States 2120 Posts	Posted 06/17/2010 1:27 pm well the first is a trinary, and the second is a radar, I'm not sure what its called when the radar is only 6/8 digits, but a radar none the less. I usually keep em if its not hurting me for money. you can always spend it later I say. Edited by Namachieli 06/17/2010 1:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

clembo Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 06/18/2010 01:02 am I'd spend them and keep looking. You can tie up a lot of money real fast looking for stuff that's "close". Report this Post to the Staff

zeewool Pillar of the Community 3660 Posts	Posted 06/22/2010 09:42 am This thread addresses several questions that I puzzled me for a short while now. The designation of a 'mini radar' intrigues me. The OP's serial number of CE07644467C for instance; I think that I know what a radar note is (pretty obvious), but what makes this particular number a 'mini radar'? Is it that some of the numbers are radar in position, but not all? The term binary (to me, has always meant 0 and 1) regarding serial numbers means any combination of any two numbers? Trinary would be any combination of any three numbers? Then there are ladders; ladders are also fairly clear to me (I think)....a serial number such as A12345678A would fit the bill. I have seen sellers claiming mini ladders or broken ladders or reverse broken ladders, and I just don't comprehend the correlation. Could someone explain mini radars, broken or mini ladders please? Consider the hypothetical numbers A00000211A and G00000210A. They would both be trinary notes (?), but one would also be a 'reverse mini ladder'? Or are some folks just trying to make something out of nothing, (with a certain degree of success)? Report this Post to the Staff
