I've always dreamed of finding a 'solid' in circulation. Guess I'll have to keep dreaming, although this one is awesome!   'Note'  that's it's seen some circulation! Edited by DNA

Awesome note! The condition looks very good also. Odds of finding a solid are like 1 in 12 million.

...1 in 12 million. That's probably for finding a strap known to contain a solid, now imagine the odds on a circulated-grade solid (like Dkillett's.) That's like Powerball/Mega Millions jackpot odds!   Seriously, even a "non-collector" would be quite likely to save a real live solid Note. People would absolutely open straps to get even a "seven of the same number in a row" Note like mine. Oh, and there's the "number eight" thing.Edited by DNA

Yes, a real eye catcher for sure. Just a minute ago, a couple of my girl friends popped in and they both stared at my monitor, (neither being the slightest bit interested in money other than the plastic type), but both ooo'd and ahhh'd over the serial number.

Congrats on that find. Did you find it strap searching or as change? It's amazing that some of these notes float around without a second look. Also what interesting about this is that the 100 notes surrounding this note "may" have been circulated as well, with binaries and "super radar" in that strap of 100.  Peace |

Ceylon62:I received it in my change at a pizza restaurant. It was in the middle of the three $1 notes handed to me. Since this particular note went into circulation, could it be that allthe notes in that entire strap went into circulation? That would mean its very close relative 'super-radar, six-in-a-row' "L 18888881 J" also went out into the wild...
