Hey fellow numismatics,
I recently obtained two twenty dollar bills from a ATM machine, when taking them out I noticed how similar their radar numbers were, EUG2840925 and the other was EUG2840926. They we're both printed in 2008. I find it pretty cool that they've stayed with each other for this long or maybe even reunited, but I doubt that. Would someone pay a premium for two bills that we're printed one on top of the other? Did the bank just have them fresh from the Mint and stored them away until now? Sorry this might sound like a stupid question, but I deal with coins more.
Thanks,
cazzuey Edited by cazzuey

Unfortunately, these are not radar's just consecutive banknotes, which are quite common.
A radar note's serial number would read the same front to back and back to front. eg. 5225225, 8399938, 4652564

I know what a radar note is, I thought the number on the back was called a radar number?  |

Nope, just a serial number.

Hi, cazzuey, Canadian Banknotes has shown you what to look for in RADAR notes, with the ones he posted, just remember that a RADAR note would read the same from front to back.  |

these notes were most likely printed fairly recently, the design would be 2008 and that date stays till the design is retired, to findout the print date you use the serial numbers.

Thanks, Canadian-Banknotes. Can you tell me some things to look for on the serial number? Basically just radar notes, unless you want to get into inserts (Replacements). The difficult thing about replacement notes however is that they no longer have asterisks before the prefix like they used to, now it can be a specific range in any run of notes. For example; ERR (4.320M - 4.680M) - That would be an insert note. So, all notes from 4,320,000 to 4,680,000 are inserts notes (replacement notes). There are hundreds and hundreds of insert ranges, and just by seeing the note, you would have no idea of knowing if it was an insert or not. Edited by Canadian-Banknotes

I forgot to mention to look out for ladder notes, million numbered notes, and solid numbered notes.
Ladders: Can be ascending or descending serial numbers. eg. 1234567, 7654321, 1234321, etc.
Million Numbered Notes: Self Explanatory. eg. 1000000, 2000000, 3000000, etc.
Solid Numbered Notes: Also called 1 digit radars. eg. 1111111, 2222222, 3333333, etc.
