MeauxSzyslak Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 02/24/2011 4:22 pm Went to the bank today to grab some cash and this was one of the bills, crisp and nearly uncirculated. What is the correct terminology for this sequence? I know radar and repeater but my feeble brain can't figure out what this is known as. Is there any added value here or is it spending money? Thanks!

Nickelman Pillar of the Community United States 1397 Posts	Posted 02/24/2011 8:47 pm People refer to those as quads or 4 pair. They don't have much added value and people don't generally collect $100's as much as smaller denoms. But as usual I throw out a disclaimer saying you never know what someone will spend if you find the right person. Report this Post to the Staff

iamkayelem Valued Member United States 176 Posts	Posted 02/25/2011 1:19 pm I call it a "doubles" which is just something I made up when I found one like that, haha. I have two now, a $1 and a $5. I probably wouldn't hold onto a C note, because I can't afford to! Report this Post to the Staff
Nickelman Pillar of the Community United States 1397 Posts	Posted 02/25/2011 3:00 pm Another way of thinking about it is like this. If you found a $1 quad note you might be able to sell it for $5 and receive a premium of four dollars. On a $100 note if the premium is four dollar... why bother. When people first start to collect serials they make the mistake thinking "if that $1 note is worth five times as much then the $100 must really be worth something!" In fact it is the opposite. The $1 is worth 500% and the $100 is basically worthless. Now don't get me wrong, a really fancy serial like a solid or ladder do carry a premium on larger notes, just not the run of the mill stuff.
